Tell us what you are trying to do?
I build a restaurant menu using repeater field and cpt.
Each menu section is a different post with and ID and slug.
I try to output if my field (nombre-de-morceaux) is empty and came from the post ID 205/slug sushi-sashimi that is a parent of this repeater field.

What is the link to your site?
hidden link

Thank you

Hi Louis,

Thank you for getting in touch.

Is it that you want to display a field from the parent if the field on the child is empty?

Not sure I understand fully. Could you provide some more clarity for me.

Thanks,
Shane

Hi Shane,
I want to display a text if a certain field (nombre-de-morceaux) is empty AND the parent Id is 205.

The case :
I have a CPT called Sushi menu.
Each meal section is a post of sushi menu.
In every meal/post, there is the sushi items coming as a repeater field.

So in this view
if the field "nombre-de-morceaux" from the repeater field "items-au-menu-sushi" is empty
AND
the repeater field is display from post id 205
THEN
display my text

View name="menu-sushi-items"

<div class="flex-table row" role="rowgroup">
<div class="flex-row first size-2" role="cell"><h4>[types field='nom-du-plat'][/types]</h4></div>
<div class="flex-row size-4" role="cell">[types field="description-du-plat"][/types]</div>
<div class="flex-row size-2" role="cell">[types field='forme-disponible' separator=', '][/types]</div>
<div class="flex-row" role="cell">
[wpv-conditional if="( $(nombre-de-morceaux) ne '' )"]
[types field='nombre-de-morceaux' output='raw'][/types] mcx
[/wpv-conditional]

/*HERE*/
[wpv-conditional if="( $(nombre-de-morceaux) eq '' ) AND ( [wpv-post-slug item="$205"])"]
<div style="font-size:0.83em;">Sushi : 2mcx <br> Sashimi : 3mcx
[/wpv-conditional]

</div>
<div class="flex-row" role="cell">[wpv-conditional if="( $(wpcf-prix-general) ne '' )"][types field="prix-general"][/types] $[/wpv-conditional]</div>

</div>

THANK YOU

Hi Louis,

Assuming that you are already displaying the items from the repeater fields. The parent you want to check the ID for is the post that the repeatable field is attached to correct?

If so then Its not possible to get the ID of the post that the repeatable fields are attached to.

Which version of views are you currently using ?

Please let me know.
Thanks,
Shane

Good morning Shane,
oh, that's bad. Can I check by some other way the post that contain the repeater field?
Any workeround ? If not id, I suppose the slug will not do neither...

And for the version:
Types : 3.3.5
Views : 2.9.2

Thank you again.

HI Louis,

I know in our latest views Beta you are able get the ID of the parent post type. However since this is a Beta i'm not certain if the code will work in a conditional field.

If you had done this as a post relationship then we would've been able to get the parent ID in the current version of views without any issues at all.

Thanks,
Shane

I guess i'll try the beta...
Then what will be the correct code? If you please.

Hi Louis,

When using the dynamic blocks that it provides, you should be able to select the parent ID for the RFG when adding it to the page.

You will need to use the SIngle field dynamic block. See Screenshot

Then it should generate a shortcode like.
[tb-dynamic provider="toolset_relationship|drivers-rfg|parent" post="current" source="post-id" ]

Thanks,
Shane

This will give you a quick overview on how to use this beta plugin.
