I am trying to setup a gradesystem. What I'd like to have is that you can create a subject, define the year and semester. After that I would like to assign a grade per subject to a WP user.

The ideal situation is that you can select an subject (CPT), student (WP user), fill in a grade and save the entry.

I've looked on the forum and on google, but I can't find the solution.

Thank you for contacting Toolset Support. I am happy to help you with this.

After that I would like to assign a grade per subject to a WP user.

Is this "grade" as in A, B, C (grading the assignment) or "grade" as in 8th, 9th, 10th (level of class the user is in), etc?

Hi,

Thanks for your reply. The grades are defined by a number (1 to 10), so it's the format of A, B, C but then in numbers.

Hello. Just letting you know I am still working on this and should have feedback for you within the next 24 hours or less.

I've been testing out your scenario and here is what I recommend:

What I'd like to have is that you can create a subject, define the year and semester.

The way I found this best to work is to set:

Subject - Custom Post Type
Year - Taxonomy (assigned to Subject CPT)
Semester - Taxonomy (assigned to Subject CPT)

After that I would like to assign a grade per subject to a WP user.

This will also be a custom post type. Assign "Subject" as the parent custom post type using a many to many relationship: https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/many-to-many-post-relationship/

The ideal situation is that you can select an subject (CPT), student (WP user), fill in a grade and save the entry.

By setting the Grade to a custom post type and Subject as its parent, this will allow you to create a CRED form for each grade. It will contain a custom post field for the grade itself (dropdown of 1-10).

The difficult part is assigning a WordPress user through the CRED form. I have found a way to do that here: https://toolset.com/forums/topic/cred-form-to-select-author/#post-272508

So it ends up looking like the attached screenshot.

Another suggest is to make users fill out profiles and set Profile as a custom post type which will then connect to the user.

This should get you going in the right direction. Let me know if anything need clarifying.
