Detail:
I created a checkbox custom field using Advanced Custom Fields (I am using ACF because Toolset custom fields doesn't allow me to conditionally show fields by category - it would be great if this was possible). Screenshot features input on listing: hidden link
When I try to use these features for the listings - they are displaying in groups and are not using their labels. I would like each remaining feature to show as an individual checkbox. Is this possible? Screenshot return values on the front end: hidden link
Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.
Well - I do not know why you are using advanced custom fields plugin for checkbox?
(I am using ACF because Toolset custom fields doesn't allow me to conditionally show fields by category - it would be great if this was possible)
=> Can you give me where exactly you want to display conditionally what?
The field is stored as serialized array that is why its displayed as such. If you can share your requirement with all required details that should help me to udnerstand your issue it will help me to guide you in the right direction.
Reason for using ACF:
I have multiple categories - For Sale, To Rent, To Visit. Each category has specific sub-categories and also specific feature feature lists. I cannot see any way with Toolset to conditionally set the sub categories and features based on the parent category. I do not want the For Sale features to show up on the To Rent listings when users are creating their listing. This is easy to do with ACF using their location rules. The ACF fields have also far more advanced options available for set up.
What I am trying to do:
Show a list of each individual remaining feature as an individual checkbox so they can be used as criteria to further filter the search results. Currently, Toolset is only showing groups of the features specific to the listings featured: See this in action here: hidden link - there are two rental properties live and there are two corresponding feature list checkboxes instead a list of the individual features as checkboxes.

=> OK - this is correct. Toolset do not have any way to display the conditional taxonomy option based on the selection of parent category etc..
Can you tell me how user will create the listing - do you mean from backend (admin) or front-end?

=> can you show me how you set the filters inside search and pagination section as checkboxes fields are stored as a serialized array and those are the specifial field that you should not be able to display such field as a dependent filter.
I've created a new custom post type for 'suppliers' and added this view and the original 'for-rent' view to a new view called "directory-list-all". The map is working perfectly now but the listings are repeating 4 times. I am assuming this is because of the loop. However, when I try to remove the loop from my sub views ('supporters' & 'for-rent') - Toolset does not allow me to do this. This is how I have implemented it in the backend of the 'directory-list-all' view: hidden link
How can I show multiple views on one map? This would solve all my issues as I could create a separate custom post type with individual categories and tags for each post type and still display them all on one central map.
well - can you please share access details and tell few test cases for me that what is your expected output?
Which view you want to use for filter. Please, setup your content first correctly post types, taxonomies etc..etc.. What is the relation with supplier post types and original 'for-rent' view or "directory-list-all".
I need to understand first your content and your expected results so that I can guide you in the right direction. Please setup few dummy content and share exact steps for your expected output.
*** Please make a FULL BACKUP of your database and website.***
I would also eventually need to request temporary access (WP-Admin and FTP) to your site. Preferably to a test site where the problem has been replicated if possible in order to be of better help and check if some configurations might need to be changed.
I have set the next reply to private which means only you and I have access to it.
I have continued to work on this to see if I can find a way around it using separate custom post types for each listing type.
Here is where I am at: hidden link
I've switched to using all custom post types so I have complete control over the categories and tags for more advanced filtering. I then used jQuery switcher buttons to load different maps depending on the button pressed. This is a bit of a work around but it allows me to display multiple custom post types on one map and still allow post type specific filters to make it easier to search.
