Hello, FANTASTIC plugin!!! Well worth the money!
Now to my "issue"

Question 1:
Ill like to "connect" a posttype i just made "foretag" ( nr1 in att.image - "company" in swedish) with a another posttype like "products" (nr 2 in att.image) (Products doesnt excist yet)

The Posttype "Foretag" works very well. And does what i expect.

Now i would like to add a new "posttype" like woocommerce has with "products" . Are you with me?

let say i have "Foretag" (companies). and under "Products" i like the "products" to be connected to each individual company posttype("foretag")

So IF i view a Company (posstype:foretag), i can also se that companies products (posttype:products).

The category i allready use for "city" selection so i cant use that..

------
Qestion 2:
Can i create a form on frontend that creates NEW Posts to the posttype "foretag", BUT saves as drafts so i can confirm the save before it goes live? Can i also automaticly add categoeries to a savings ?

Qestion 3:
Can i give a user access to ONLY that post (in "foretag") to edit his own information ?

Question 4:
How can i create a view (with the views-plugin) to loop inside a Dropdownlist?

Hi Patrik,

Thank you for contacting us and glad you’re finding our plugins useful.

I’ll be happy to assist with your questions:

Question 1:
For what you’re planning to achieve, I’ll recommend creating a one-to-many relationship between your custom post type “Companies” and “Products”.
(as I understand, each company is going to have multiple products, but each product will be attached to only one company)

Following are some useful resources on the topic of post relationships:

https://toolset.com/documentation/post-relationships/
https://toolset.com/documentation/post-relationships/how-to-set-up-post-relationships-using-toolset/

Question 2:
Yes, using the Toolset Forms (CRED) Plugin, you can make a form for front-end posting, that saves the submissions in “Draft” status. After submission, you’ll be able to manually review and change the status of those posts and can also attach categories (or other taxonomies) to them, as needed.

You can learn more about the Toolset Forms (CRED) Plugin from these links:

https://toolset.com/documentation/getting-started-with-toolset/publish-content-from-the-front-end/
https://toolset.com/documentation/getting-started-with-toolset/publish-content-from-the-front-end/forms-for-creating-content/

Question 3:
Yes, you can control this with the Toolset Access Plugin:
https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/setting-access-control/

Question 4:
The Toolset Views Plugin can be used to create views based on post types, taxonomies or users as the data source.

If your drop-down list consists of any of the above, you can use it for a customized view.

Note: For future reference, we’ll recommend to include one question per ticket for the most efficient and timely resolution, as mentioned in our support policy:

I hope this helps! Please let us know if you need any further assistance.
