[Resolved] Link 2 CPTs

I am currently building a new website and they have 2 main types of info. On the one hand Documents (title, description, author and a link to a pdf) and on the other hand Events (most likely via The Events Calendar). Both are displayed on different pages, so you can consult both the Documents and the Events.

Some documents must be linked to certain events and in order to avoid uploading the same Documents to (different) Events, I am wondering if in the Events CPT, can we select Documents from a dropdown to link them to that Event and then create a loop that extracts a Custom Field of each Document and display that in a View?

So an Event will have its title, description, date, ... and then an

with the link to the pdf from the linked Documents.

Hi,

Welcome to Toolset support. It seems that you need a relationship between the two post types in question.

But you need to decide if the relationship will be one-to-many or many-to-many.

You can learn more about relationships here:

Thanks.
