i hope that makes sense

Hi Martin,

Thanks for asking! I'd be happy to help.

I understand that the "Events" and the "Dogs" post types have a many-to-many post-relationship. As you noted, it is not possible to link the same objects twice in a single relationship.

For example, if a dog "A" has been connected once in a relationship with an event "X", the connection between these two cannot be repeated, within the scope of the same post-relationship.

You can continue using this post-relationship to store information about the regular standings ( e.g. 1st,2nd,3rd or 4th etc ). But for the assignment of the guns choice title/award, you can create a new post reference field with the "Event" post type that can show the list of available "Dogs" post type items:
https://toolset.com/documentation/post-relationships/how-to-display-related-posts-with-toolset/using-post-reference-fields-to-display-information-from-a-related-post/

I hope this helps and please let me know if you need any further assistance around this.

regards,
Waqar

Hi Martin,

Thanks for writing back.

The "wpv-post-title" shortcode ( ref: https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/views-shortcodes/#wpv-post-title ) can only be used to get the post title.

To get the value from a custom field, you can use the "wpv-post-field" shortcode:
https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/views-shortcodes/#wpv-post-field

For example, to get the value of the field with slug "_EventOrganizerID":

[wpv-post-field name="_EventOrganizerID" item="@events-dog.parent"]

To get the title from this organizer's ID, you can use:

[wpv-post-title item='[wpv-post-field name="_EventOrganizerID" item="@events-dog.parent"]']

And for a title with a link:

[wpv-post-link item='[wpv-post-field name="_EventOrganizerID" item="@events-dog.parent"]']

brilliant thanks waqas both those are now sorted!! im getting there !!

i have 1 last issue i cant seem to resolve and its annoying me , once i have this sorted i can start entering my data finally!!
this page here hidden link shows judges , i can get this field to display no problem hidden link
but none of these hidden link

the 1st is a field in the event judge relationship and the 2nd is the fields attached to post type judges.

i basically want to attach the fields from the judge post type to the judges names here hidden link

obviously the judges showing here are related to that event this is one is quite time sensitive as im sat ready to start inputting a whole lot of data!!

Hi Martin,

Glad that your website is almost ready and to show custom fields data from the "judge" posts, in the view "judge on events" ( hidden link ), you don't need a separate view like "judge fields".
( hidden link )

You can simply use item='@events-judge.child' attribute in the in view "judge on events", like this:

panel for judge: [types field='panel-for-judge' item='@events-judge.child'][/types]<br>
judge book number: [types field='judge-book-number' item='@events-judge.child'][/types]<br>
judge image: [types field='judge-image' item='@events-judge.child'][/types]<br>

I hope this helps and you're welcome to open a new ticket for each new question or concern.

Hi Martin,

Thanks for the update and glad that the single events page is sorted out now.

Since your new question is not related to the current thread's discussion, I'll reply it through a separate ticket, shortly.
