Tell us what you are trying to do?
I have created a client file (not all wordpress users will be clients). file: beings
I have created a paper file (documents associated with client: many papers, one being.) file: paper
I have created a dashboard where I want to display
the being associated with the wordpress user in the first column,
the papers associated with the being in the second column....
and that's enough for this example.
I need to be able to find the being record associated with the wordpress user (1 to 1), and
I need to be able to find the paper records associated with the being record (many to one).

Can I do these things with queries with in the one dashboard page? Or, will it involve php coding?
I have not found a way to query the being record (i have a custom user field that holds an id from the being file).
I have not found a way to query the papers associated with the being in the page (I am guessing that a template is required for this part).

What is the link to your site?
hidden link

Thanks for your insight.

Hi,

This can be achieved using Toolset's post views feature and you'll not need extensive PHP programming.

To share the next steps, I'll need to see exactly how these post types and the dashboard page are set up in the admin area.

Can you please share temporary admin login details, along with the link to the dashboard page?

Note: Your next reply will be private and it is recommended to make a complete backup copy, before sharing the access details.

regards,
Waqar
