Problem:
How to output a field from a parent post when displaying posts using the Essential Grid plugin?
Solution:
To display fields from the post itself you can use Views shortcodes in this format:
[wpv-post-title id='%post_id%']
[php]
To display a field from a related post (e.g. parent) it is necessary to create a custom shortcode that uses the relationships API to query the related post, like this example for a post link:
[php]
add_shortcode( 'related_link', function( $atts ){
$pid = $atts['id'];
$related_id = toolset_get_related_post( $pid, "artist-release", "parent" );
$output = wpv_do_shortcode( "[wpv-post-link id='" . $related_id . "']");
return $output;
});
which you can then insert into a template, like so:
[related_link id='%post_id%']
