Unfortunately, neither the docs not the forum could help me. I want to find the post ID of a one to many relationship with PHP (i think i need the parent). How can i get this?
- The ID if the child is known
- The slug of the relationship is profil-nfc
For example, suppose you have a one-to-many relationship between "Shops" and "Books" with relationship slug "shops-books" and the current "Books" post ID is available in the $post->ID. Then the code to get the related parent "Shop" would look like this:
// get children of a grandparent
$query_by_element = $post->ID; // ID of post to get relationship from
$relationship = 'shops-books'; // relationship slug
$query_by_role_name = 'child'; // $query_by_element is a parent in this relation
$limit = 1000; // defaults
$offset = 0; // defaults
$args = array(); //nothing needed
$return = 'post_id'; // We want Post ID
$role_name_to_return = 'parent'; // We want children.
$get_results = toolset_get_related_posts(
$query_by_element,
$relationship,
$query_by_role_name,
$limit,
$offset,
$args,
$return,
$role_name_to_return
);
I hope this helps and please let me know if you need any further assistance around this.
Unfortunately, this does not work and returns an empty array all the time. Also, I guess post parent and child were misplaced in the snippet. But with the linked docs, I got it working with just one line of code:
//retrieve parent post ID from a one to many relationsship when knowing the child post-ID
$parent_id = toolset_get_related_post( $post->ID, 'profil-nfc', 'parent' );
