I am trying to build a Filmfestival Page with Movies as CPT. These films are repeated on different days at different locations. However, only one post should be created for the same film. Example:
Film 1: September 12, 2023 in Cinema
September 13, 2023 in Cinema 2
How do I realize this, that Date 1 belongs to Cinema one in Frontent?
- Create a Custom Post Type called "Movies" where you’ll create each movie as a single post.
- Create the necessary custom fields to store additional information about each movie. For example, since movies can be shown on different dates and different cinemas, you might want to create a repeating field group consisting of:
• show_date to store the show dates
• cinema to store the cinema/location of each showing
- Create posts for each movie and add the respective dates and cinemas.
- Create a View to display the movies in the frontend. In the View, you can loop through the repeating field group to display all the dates and cinemas for each movie. You can also add filters to this View to allow users to filter movies by date and/or by cinema(location)
While searching/filtering through the repeatable field groups, please bear in mind that Toolset Repeatable Field Groups are based on one-to-many relationships, so each item of Repeatable Field Groups is also a single post. Toolset does not allow to filter two related post types at the same time. As a workaround you will have to filter the generated custom post type(date) for your repeatable field. Then you will have to display their parent post(movie) instead. https://toolset.com/documentation/post-relationships/how-to-display-related-posts-with-toolset/#displaying-one-related-item-parent
