Tell us what you are trying to do?
I need a connection of the products of a brand to the Toolset made custom post type 'Producer' - finally all I need is a shortcode to display the 'Producer' as a link in the product detail and product archive page of Elementor.
An example : For every Partner / Producer we create a custom post type and display the information on a page like this: hidden link
Now we want to set a little info / link in every product of this partner / producer that leads to this page.
Bulk editing of the products isn´t a problem. Maybe a custom field for every product will do it. But how to connect it to the producer the smartest way?
What is the link to your site?
hidden link
Hello,
I assume we are talking about this case:
- One "producer" post can connect with multiple "product" posts
- One "product" post can connect with only one "producer" posts
If it is, I suggest you try to setup one-to-many relationship between post type "producer" and "product",
https://toolset.com/documentation/post-relationships/
Then in single "producer" post, you can display related "producer" information with Toolset shortcodes:

For your reference.
Hi.
Thanks for the fast answer!
This could be a way. In the meantime I tested a bit and found another (possible) way. Please see my screenshots attached.
It´s a custom field for the Woo products in which a Post Reference field is used. It´s already possible to select an 'Producer' in my products. See image 3.
Could this also be a way to handle this - for the frontend playout of the producer in the each product?
The only thing I´m missing right now is how I can see this in my Woo bulk edit tool. It should be a custom field what should be visible there?! See image 4. But it seems not 'registered'.
The Post Reference field is based on one-to-many post type relationship, same as other post type relationship, the data is save in another custom database table "wp_toolset_relationships", but normal custom fields are saved in database table " wp_postmeta", so it can not be edited in Woo bulk edit tool.
We´re using the powerful 'Advanced Bulk Edit' tool : hidden link - but the extra data table seems the reason it don´t find the custom field(s) there.
So how do You guys handle such things with thousands of products? We´re a market place with already over 2.600 products from different brands. Some have more then 400 products. There must be a way to give them all a relation in some kind of bulk process?!
That was the final link that made it. As we´re using WP All Import for the products - it will handle the bulk process.
My issue is resolved now. Thank you!
