Hello,
I've set up the following with a fairly complicated post types / relationships architecture (see diagram). If you could take a look to help me see what's gone wrong, I would appreciate it.
I am attempting to display all the States connected to an Explorer. To do so, I've set up the following content templates. (POV is Point of View, a naming convention that helps me make sense of all this.)
***
POV Self: Post Title Link (pov-self-post-title-link)
[wpv-post-link]
POV State Group: State Title Link (pov-state-group-state-title-link)
[wpv-post-body view_template="pov-self-post-title-link" item="@state-in-group.child"]
POV Cluster (From): State Title Link (pov-cluster-from-state-title-link)
[wpv-post-body view_template="pov-state-group-state-title-link" item="@cluster-shift-from.child"]
POV Explorer: State Title Link (pov-explorer-state-title-link)
[wpv-post-body view_template="pov-cluster-from-state-title-link" item="@explorer-cluster.child"]
***
Then, I set up a View, POV Explorer: State Title Links. I've attached screenshots of my settings.
Finally, to test, I inserted the View directly into the content of an Explorer page (Rebecca), to display as an unordered list. What displays is a series of blank list items, showing the correct number of bullets (18) as the number of States for the Explorer. But no titles/links display at all.
To test further, I added the Content Template POV Explorer: State Title Link directly. The Content Template displayed a single State link, which I suppose is expected.
I've attached a screenshot of the page, which you can see directly here: hidden link
I imagine the unordered list is full of empty lines because of something missing in the View setup. Could you help me identify what went wrong?
OK, so I've had a good look at it, and there is still a problem I've been unable to solve. I'm hoping you can help.
To summarize, I am attempting to list great-grandchild States on an Explorer post. In between we have child Clusters and grandchild State Groups. The challenge is that there are two different relationships between Clusters and State Groups, and we want to list the states belonging to the two different State Groups linked by these different relationships. (See Data Structure v2.png in the first post for reference.)
To do this, Luo set up a series of nested Views as follows:
VIEW: grandparent-cluster-posts-of-current-explorers-post Display Clusters. Select from Explorer Clusters relationship related to current post. LOOP: [wpv-layout-start] [wpv-items-found] <!-- wpv-loop-start --> <ul class="wpv-loop js-wpv-loop"> <wpv-loop> <li>[wpv-post-body view_template="Loop item in Grandparent Cluster posts of current Explorers post"]</li> </wpv-loop> </ul> <!-- wpv-loop-end --> [/wpv-items-found] [wpv-no-items-found] <strong>[wpml-string context="wpv-views"]No items found[/wpml-string]</strong> [/wpv-no-items-found] [wpv-layout-end] LOOP TEMPLATE: "Loop item in Grandparent Cluster posts of current Explorers post" [wpv-post-link] shift-from： [wpv-view name="parent-state-groups-posts-of-current-cluster-post-cluster-shift-from"] [wpv-post-link] shift-to： [wpv-view name="parent-state-groups-posts-of-current-cluster-post-cluster-shift-to"] *** VIEW: parent-state-groups-posts-of-current-cluster-post-cluster-shift-from Display State Groups. Select posts in a Cluster Shift From relationship related to current post. LOOP: [wpv-layout-start] [wpv-items-found] <!-- wpv-loop-start --> <ul class="wpv-loop js-wpv-loop"> <wpv-loop> <li> [wpv-post-link] [wpv-view name="state-posts-of-current-state-groups-post"] </li> </wpv-loop> </ul> <!-- wpv-loop-end --> [/wpv-items-found] [wpv-no-items-found] <strong>[wpml-string context="wpv-views"]No items found[/wpml-string]</strong> [/wpv-no-items-found] [wpv-layout-end] *** VIEW: parent-state-groups-posts-of-current-cluster-post-cluster-shift-to Display State Groups. Select posts in a Cluster Shift To relationship related to current post. LOOP: [wpv-layout-start] [wpv-items-found] <!-- wpv-loop-start --> <ul class="wpv-loop js-wpv-loop"> <wpv-loop> <li> [wpv-post-link] [wpv-view name="state-posts-of-current-state-groups-post"] </li> </wpv-loop> </ul> <!-- wpv-loop-end --> [/wpv-items-found] [wpv-no-items-found] <strong>[wpml-string context="wpv-views"]No items found[/wpml-string]</strong> [/wpv-no-items-found] [wpv-layout-end] *** VIEW: state-posts-of-current-state-groups-post Display States. Select posts in a States in Group relationship related to current post. LOOP: [wpv-layout-start] [wpv-items-found] <!-- wpv-loop-start --> <ul class="wpv-loop js-wpv-loop"> <wpv-loop> <li> [wpv-post-link] </li> </wpv-loop> </ul> <!-- wpv-loop-end --> [/wpv-items-found] [wpv-no-items-found] <strong>[wpml-string context="wpv-views"]No items found[/wpml-string]</strong> [/wpv-no-items-found] [wpv-layout-end]
(If needed, please refer to the visual flowchart Flowchart State List on Explorer.jpeg attached.)
The problem is that the State Group and related States display for only one of the Cluster-State Group relationships, (cluster-shift-from), while the second relationship (cluster-shift-to) displays the "No items found" message. (See the StateList-on-Explorer.jpg attachment.)
When I test the key shortcodes for displaying from both relationships, by placing them in a Cluster post as follows, they display as expected:
shift-from： [wpv-view name="parent-state-groups-posts-of-current-cluster-post-cluster-shift-from"] shift-to：[wpv-view name="parent-state-groups-posts-of-current-cluster-post-cluster-shift-to"]
(See the StateList-on-Cluster-jpg attachment.)
I have been unable to figure out why the State Group and States list does not display from the cluster-shift-to relationship. Hoping you can help!
