[Resolved] Display Parent Fields on Child Post’s Front-End

I have a child post with a CRED add form (id of the parent post in the URL string), but I would like to show the form to the user only if a custom field of the parent's post has a certain value, say "status=open".

Is that possible?

I have played around with something like below but with no luck:

[cred_show_group if="($(_wpcf_belongs_maker-post_id) ne  '' )"  mode="fade-slide"]
some text here
[/cred_show_group]

(ref.: https://toolset.com/forums/topic/cred-verify-parent-exists)

Any suggestions?

Dear Noriko,

You can get the URL parameter value with Views shortcode [wpv-search-term]
https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/views-shortcodes/#wpv-search-term

For example:
1) Create a content template "parent-post-information"
in content, use Views shortcode [wpv-conditional] to check if current parent post has setup "status=open", then display the CRED form for creating child post

2) Display the content template like this:
[wpv-post-body view_template="parent-post-information" id=[wpv-search-term param='parent_parent-cpt_id']]
Please replace the "parent-cpt" with the parent post type slug.

Thank you so much, Luo.

What you suggested worked beautifully. I guess I must study a bit more how to use the content templates.
