[Resolved] Displaying a View between 2 CPTs tied together by a Taxonomy

Hi Team,

I am wondering if the following is possible? hidden link

I have 2 CPTs (Jobs and Location.) I want to show a list of Job posts in the Location CPT. However, they are _not_ bi-directionally linked.

Instead, they both share a taxonomy that is the city/town.

So, rather than create a bi-directional relationship between the 'Jobs' and 'Location' CPT, is there a way to display the "jobs" posts in the Location CPT by using the city/town taxonomy values that they both share?

Secondly, if so, would that be more or less performant than just creating a bi-directional relationship between the 2 CPTs?

Please let me know if you need any additional help in clarifying.

Thanks,

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

Well - I would like to know here, you are displaying Book single post - correct? Or you are displaying a single taxonomy page?

In addition to that, for example, if post X is assigned to "abc" settlement taxonomy term, you want to display all jobs that belong to "abc" settlement taxonomy term - correct?

Hi Minesh,

Thanks for your reply.

you are displaying Book single post - correct? Or you are displaying a single taxonomy page?
Yes, that's right - in this scenario, I'll be displaying a Book single post. There will be separate scenarios where single taxonomy pages come into play, but for now this is what I'm trying to accomplish.

if post X is assigned to "abc" settlement taxonomy term, you want to display all jobs that belong to "abc" settlement taxonomy term
Well, I want to display all requests that belong to "abc" settlement taxonomy term AND of a specific "service type" taxonomy term, then show it on the "location" CPT -- which would share the "abc" settlement taxonomy term with "request" CPT.

Please let me know if that was helpful.

Hello,

Minesh isn't available, I will take care of this thread.

In your case, it is another many-to-many relationships connected by a taxonomy.

And it is possible within Views, for example:
in a single 'Jobs' post, you can create a post view:
- query posts of "Locations" post type
- Filter by:
Select posts with taxonomy:
city/town the same as the page where this View is shown

More help:
https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/filtering-views-by-taxonomy/
Value set by the current page where this View is shown:
The View is always inserted somewhere. That page where the View is inserted is responsible for setting the taxonomy term. This is good when you want the same View to return different results, according to the page it’s inserted to.

Thanks, Luo. What is the main difference between these two? hidden link

Does "The current post in the loop" become useful when you have nested Views, so you can have one of the nested Views in the loop use the Loop's post as the "base of reference" (so to speak)?

[Luo Yang]

Yes, you are right, option "The current post in the loop" works in a wordpress query loop, for example nested views.

The another option "The post where this view is shown" works in a single post.

Thanks, Luo! As a suggestion, it'd be wonderful to see more video tutorials (either by the team, or even by the community) to demonstrate the different use cases that we can do with these options.

I think it'll empower a lot of us to really unleash the power of Toolset. Appreciate your clarification.
