[Resolved] Link a post to multiple views

Hello,

Is their a way to link a post to multiple views? I tried the ID included / exclude but its not yielding the results I want. It either removes all the post and only displays the one or makes me tediously exclude 45+ posts from views so the right ones still appear on the page... The only other thing I can think of is to create more views and call the view "view-category-1-view-category-2" so I can remember these are the post that need to be in both views. I can't imagine this is the only way because it seem inefficient.

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

I do not understand yet what is your goal or what you what to achieve as its still not clear with the description you shared with your first reply.

Can you please share more details what exactly you want to display and what content you want to filter. Maybe share a test case example that should help me to understand your issue or some screenshots?

Once I get the clarity about what exactly you want then I will be able to guide you in the right direction.

Hello Minesh,

I included an image. I would like to add a single post from another view and add it to a new view loop without showing all the other post within that original group.

ex. Correctional Lighting post (id=2412) add to view high Abuse Lighting.

The thing is that you can not differentiate the view's loop as it will continuously work until it ends.

If you can explain me the reason why you want one specific post from another post type then I can guide you in the right direction.

You can display the output like:
- The specific post you want to display
- Then the whole view's loop

But I first would like to know how exactly you want to display that specific post? at what section of page, what things you want to display for that specific post?

We have several products that have universal uses. Our loops have the same templates as well.

Here is the loop code:

[wpv-layout-start]
	[wpv-items-found]
	<!-- wpv-loop-start -->
	<wpv-loop wrap="3" pad="true">
		[wpv-item index=1]
		<div class="row ">
        
			<div class="col-sm-4">[wpv-post-body view_template="Loop item in High Abuse"]</div>
		[wpv-item index=other]
			<div class="col-sm-4">[wpv-post-body view_template="Loop item in High Abuse"]</div>
		[wpv-item index=3]
			<div class="col-sm-4">[wpv-post-body view_template="Loop item in High Abuse"]</div>
		</div>
		[wpv-item index=pad]
			<div class="col-sm-4"></div>
		[wpv-item index=pad-last]
			<div class="col-sm-4"></div>
		</div>
	</wpv-loop>

	<!-- 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]

Here is the template code:

<div class="catalog-pod"><div class="header-dec"><h5 class="headerText">[types field='header-descriptions'][/types]</h5></div>[types field='catalog-image'][/types]
<div class="catalog-info">
  
<table align="center">
   <tr>
    <td><h3>[wpv-post-title]</h3></td>
    <td><h4 style="color:black;padding-left:10px;">[wpv-post-taxonomy type="ip" format="name"]</h4></td>
  </tr>
  </table>
<div align="center" table-layout="fixed">
  <a class="info-buttons" href="[types field='cut-sheet-link' raw='true'][/types]" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Cut Sheet</a>
  <a style="display: inline-block;" href="[types field='ies' raw='true'][/types]">[types field='ies-button' raw='true'][/types]</a>
  </div>

</div>
</div>

Thanks

Ok but within the View's loop where exactly you want to display the specific item?
- At the start of the loop
- at the end of the loop
- at the middle of the loop on specific index?

At the middle of the loop on specific index.

[Minesh]

To target the specific loop index and display something:

Toolset Views/Blocks offers the shortcode [wpv-loop-index] that will return the current loop index within the views loop.
=> https://toolset.com/documentation/programmer-reference/views/views-shortcodes/#wpv-loop-index

You can use this shortcode in conjunction with [wpv-conditional] shortcode.

For example - to display something on loop index 5:

[wpv-conditional if="( '[wpv-loop-index accumulate='false' pad='false' offset='0']' eq '5') "] 
something will be displayed on 5th loop instance
[/wpv-conditional]
