I want to be able to select from a list of possible Workshops when adding a Student.
The student gets a link to fill in his name and emailaddress. The Workshops he can choose from are based on the school he attends and to which scheme his school is assigned. Each scheme has one or more locations, and each location has one or more workshops.
In a diagram:
School -> Scheme -> Location -> Workshops
I can show the Workshops on any page with a view (although I only see three whereas I have added four Locations), but I would like to have the Workshops as a list of which the Student can only choose one.
I have found the generic field "select" to be able to accept a shortcode as input. How does this work? Is there any documentattion about it?
I can set up an admin account for you to have a look.
Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.
Yes, please, let me review your structure first.
Can you please share problem URL where you want to allow the student to select the workshop form the dropdown list?
*** Please make a FULL BACKUP of your database and website.***
I would also eventually need to request temporary access (WP-Admin) to your site. Preferably to a test site where the problem has been replicated if possible in order to be of better help and check if some configurations might need to be changed.
I have set the next reply to private which means only you and I have access to it.
So, what if you create a One-to-Many post relationship between Workshop and Student . So, when you interact with student form, the related workshop will be presented. So, that One workshop can have many students.
Maybe. At least I have a place to store which Workshops the Students want to attend. But I need the Students to choose from a list of Workshops per Location. And I don't see a possibility to filter on Location.
My guess is that I need a View to show all Locations (for the given Scheme) and each Workshop of the Location as a selection for the Student to choose. The form would look something like this:
Name: ______
Email: _______
Location1
( ) Workshop A
( ) Workshop B
Location 2
( ) Workshop F
( ) Workshop K
Location 3
( ) Workshop Y
( ) Workshop Z
Btw, can you also have a look why I only see three Locations on the front end while on the back end I see four? hidden link

I see you created post relationship "Workshops Leerlingen" between workshop (parent) and student (child). There is no way to display workshop filter by location. Even as its One-to-many post relationship, on the following page:

We can only assign one parent workshop, we can not assign multiple workshops.
Ah, thanks for solving that issue with the 4th Location not showing.
It was your idea to create the Workshop - Student relationship, not mine. So back to the main question: how can I show Workshops per Location as a selection?
As Minesh is away I will be handling this ticket for him.
Based on what I read, you require some form of dependent dropdown when creating the post, for e.g if you want to create Student A and student A selects Location B, you want only the workshops in location B to be available to the student and not every other workshop.
If that is the case then this won't be possible without some form of custom coding to create the dependent dropdown.
There are other ways using the conditional conditional tags and purely custom fields. However this will require some setup and you would've needed to enter all the datasets.
Let's say you have 5 different locations. This will mean that you will need to create 5 different dropdowns for your workshop where each workshop dropdown will be directly dependent on the 5 different locations.
So if the user selects location A only the dropdown for workshops related to location A will be shown.
I hope Shane answered your question. Please let me know if you need further assistance other than the current issue. If yes, please open a new ticket with every new question you may have.
