Topic Tag: Setting up post relationship

Problem:

I'm trying to replicate groups with Toolset, similar to the ones of buddypress.

So a user can create a group CPT, make it private or public, join request, and then only users who were granted access can navigate the group.

Solution:

It needs to setup many-to-many relationship between WordPress user and post type "group", for example:

- One user can connect with multiple "group" posts

- One "group" post can connect with multiple WordPress users

Since Toolset relationship is based on post types, you can try with a intermetiate post type, for example:

Problem: I have a one-to-one post relationship set up between two different post types. When I try to select one of the posts for this relationship, it is not found. No results are found in the autosuggest field.

Solution: Since it's a one-to-one relationship, you can only choose a post once here. It is not possible to select the same post related to more than one other post in a one-to-one relationship. For that, you will need a one-to-many or more likely a many-to-many relationship.
