We can handle the questions one by one
1) hidden link
It is a "Scheda" post, it isn't "ARCHITECTS" post
The relationship "scheda_scheda-studio-arch":
hidden link
It is one-to-many relationship between post type "Schede" and "Schede Studi Architetti"
There are 21 post type relationships in your website, to avoid more misunderstandings, please confirm those three questions first.
1) Are we talking about four custom post types?
- Schede
- Studi
- Architetti
- Schede Studi Architetti
2) Are we talking about those three post type relationships?
- one-to-many relationship between "Schede" and "Schede Studi Architetti":
hidden link
- one-to-many relationship between "Studi" and "Schede Studi Architetti":
hidden link
- one-to-many relationship between "Architetti" and "Schede Studi Architetti":
hidden link
3) You are going to:
In single "Scheda" post, display related "Architetti" posts in tree like struture.
STUDIO 01
- Architect 01
- Architect 02
- Architect 03
STUDIO 02
- Architect 02
- Architect 03
Hi Luo,
I reply the following points but first I have to tell you that once we migrated to the new version of post relationships of Toolset (the structure was initially created with the old version of Toolset), I discovered that now in the Scheda post editing screen we cannot see the box named “relationships” that allowed us to created directly in the SCHEDA post the relationships between SCHEDA / STUDIO / ARCHITECT.
Apart from this, the post types involved are
SCHEDE (every scheda can be related to many studios and many architects)
STUDI (every studio can be related to many schedas and many architects)
ARCHITETTI (every architect can be related to many studios and many schedas)
So basically the relationship are all many to many.
In all above post types we have to display only the other related elements to the specific post (I.e. in the SCHEDA are displayed ONLY the STUDIO and ARCHITECTS only related to that post, in the STUDIO post type are displayed ONLY the architects and studios related to they studio, in the ARCHITECT post type we shall display only the schedas and the studios related to that architect.
2) the post relationships you listed are correct but as I wrote above when we did the migration to the new Toolset relationships we lost the possibility to create the SCHEDA / STUDIO / ARCHITECT relationship directly in the SCHEDA post
3) the structure you listed is OK (please consider that the data displayed shall be OKLY those related to that specific post.
I look forward to your reply
Thanks
Franco
Thanks for the confirmation.
Since in those three post type relationships:
- one-to-many relationship between "Schede" and "Schede Studi Architetti":
- one-to-many relationship between "Studi" and "Schede Studi Architetti":
- one-to-many relationship between "Architetti" and "Schede Studi Architetti":
There isn't direct relationship between "Schede" and "Studi", "Studi" and "Architetti".
So you can not display the the results as "tree like struture"
I have setup a demo in your website:
hidden link
<li>
[wpv-post-link item="@studio_scheda-studio-arch.parent"]
<ul>
<li>[wpv-post-link item="@architetto_scheda-studio-arch.parent"]</li>
</ul>
</li>
See the result here:
hidden link
It will display duplicated item "studio" items:
Park Associati
- Michele Rossi
Park Associati
- Filippo Pagliani
Hi Luo,
thanks for the update, the problem is that in your above solution the "Park Associati" element is displayed every time for every architect that appears, what we need to achieve is to see the STUDIO as a parent element and the ARCHITECTS as child of that element like in the following structure:
Park Associati
- Michele Rossi
- Filippo Pagliani
Please let me know if this solution can be achieved.
Thanks
Franco
As I mentioned above:
There isn't direct relationship between "Schede" and "Studi", "Studi" and "Architetti".
So you can not display the tree-like structure within Toolset plugins, but it is possible with custom codes, I have setup a demo in your website:
1) Add a Custom code snippet "tree-like structure", with below codes:
hidden link
add_shortcode('tree-like-structure', function($atts, $content){
$scheda_id = get_the_ID();
$intermedia_posts = toolset_get_related_posts($scheda_id, 'scheda_scheda-studio-arch', [
// Specify the role to query by and to return.
// Notice that we can use "other" in this situation.
'query_by_role' => 'parent',
'role_to_return' => 'child',]
);
$studios = [];
foreach($intermedia_posts as $k=> $v){
$studio_id = toolset_get_related_post( $v, 'studio_scheda-studio-arch' );
$architetto_id = toolset_get_related_post( $v, 'architetto_scheda-studio-arch' );
if($studio_id){
if(!isset($studios[$studio_id])){
$studios[$studio_id] = '';
}
if($architetto_id){
$studios[$studio_id] .= sprintf(
'<li><a href="%1$s">%2$s</a></li>',
get_permalink($architetto_id),
get_the_title($architetto_id)
);
}
}
}
$res = '';
foreach($studios as $studio_id => $architettos){
$res .= sprintf(
'<li><a href="%1$s">%2$s</a> <ul>%3$s</ul></li>',
get_permalink($studio_id),
get_the_title($studio_id),
$architettos
);
}
if($res){
$res = '<ul>' . $res . '</ul>';
}
return $res;
});
2) Edit the content template
hidden link
Replace the view block with a shortcode block, and display above custom shortcode: [tree-like-structure]
Test it in frontend:
hidden link
It works fine, for your reference.

Hi Luo,
thanks for the new update that now works fine.
The problem is now for the editing part of the new SCHEDA where in the OLD site we had a box that allowed us to work with the relationship between SCHEDA / STUDIO / ARCHITECT, but after the migration to the new Toolset version of the relationships we lost the editing possibility for creating the relationship you say is missing.
I enclose herewith a screenshot of the relationships box that is active on the old site and how it looks like on the new site.
Actually, we need to create the possibility in the SCHEDA to create directly the relationship between the STUDIOS and the ARCHITECTS as we did in the past. Once we populated that box in the old site, a relationship between that STUDIO and ARCHITECTS was created.
Then we need to show in the frontend not only the post title with a link but also a thumbnail of the featured image as you see in the following post of the old site:
hidden link
Please have a look at the attached screenshot and let us know if with the new relationship system of Toolset we can build (even from scratch) a relationship that can connect SCHEDA / STUDIO / ARCHITECT
Thanks,
Franco
Hi Luo,
the original question is solved.
I am going to open a new ticket for the other things connected with it.
