Tell us what you are trying to do?
DE: Zentrale Dateneingabe, gefilterter Abgleich mit n WordPress/Toolset-Installationen. Siehe:
hidden link
Ziel ist die zentrale Dateneingabe und ein manueller (besser automatischer) Abgleich der je Region definierten Felder (Filterfunktion) mit der jeweiligen WordPress/Toolset-Installation. Evt. ist die Zentrale Datenbank = Region 1 (zB. Bern) und der Abgleich erfolgt aus Toolset und Bern zeigt nur die gefiltereten Einträge für Bern?

EN: Central data entry, filtered data synchronization (one way) with n WordPress / Toolset installations. Please refer:
hidden link
The goal is a centralized data input for all regions and a manual (better automatic) sync of the fields defined per region (filter function) with the respective WordPress / Toolset installation. Maybe the central database = Region 1 (eg Bern) and the sync is made out of Toolset and Bern shows only the filtered entries for Bern?

Is there any documentation that you are following?
Not yet...

Is there a similar example that we can see?
Not yet...

What is the link to your site?
hidden link (neue Vorabseite/new preview site) und hidden link (alte Film-Datenbank/old movie database)

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

Well - the thing is that Toolset is supported only on a standard WordPress installation or Multisite.

I see you want to store content using a centralized database and filter out based on region but this is something not possible or we do not support. This might be achieved using the custom programming but that is beyond the scope of our support policy.

There is no built-in sync feature we offer keeping multiple installations in sync, so this will require a custom solution or WP MU, but event then each site's DB will be different and not common as far as I know.

The only thing where we can offer you help is if you wanted to make everything in a single site, and he can categorize and filter the content accordingly.

Hi Minesh,
thank you for your answer. I¨ll try to find a solution with a specialist in databases and we will try to connect this central database via json or equvalent to WP/Toolset. We will see...

But now I have another question, a practical one, with checkboxes and Css-Styling on the site hidden link:

I need to style the checkboxes as shown in picture v1 (hidden link, hand coded filters).

On the film page (hidden link) with the views-filter I can not address the checkboxes, I think because of the markup, generated from the view shortcode (picture v2). The input fiel is embed in the label field and not a Sibling of the surrounded element... See also attached HTML example.

Do you have any solution for this? And: Should I better open a new ticket for that?

Thank you!
Best regards, Marcel
