Quick suggestion and there may be a solution I'm already missing. Let me know if this is already possible.
I've noticed a fair amount of times already that it'd be a quicker workflow to create a view that notices post types that share a relationship with another post. For example:
In some projects I have in development I'd like to showcase these three types and there relationships. Currently selecting them in a many to many fashion for a view is a fair amount of redundant moves.
Suggestion: A quicker workflow may be to filter accordingly to these 17 posts having a relationship to the same provider(s) via a view.
Let me know if you have any questions. Great work on Many-To-Many!
Thanks for the prompt response. a graphic shows my suggestion best.
Currently connections for related content need to be made independently. This is fine for small amounts of content however with a large amount of many-to-many relationships this isn't possible to maintain.
The left graphic shows 20 steps needed to connect content.
The right graphic shows that these can be connected due to their common relationship of 1 CPT type (profile)
Hopefully that clarifies. Let me know if you have any questions!
Thanks for sharing the info and I tried to check with our Devs but we still not have idea what exactly you want to do with view's filters.
Filters needs to work for each relationship as per defined solution for view's. I dont know if you are aware about the "Post Reference" field that you can use it to display your related post and that may be able to reduce the relationship filters.
Thanks for the work on this. Regarding the new post reference feature I'm familiar however it only allows for 1 post reference. In the event you need 2 many-to-many is necessary.
Here's another screenshot. To better clarify. I've modified how the view panel would look via HTML. Would you mind passing this along to the devs as well? Let me know if they have any questions or a solution already in place.
As I understand - do you want to display same posts that have same parent/child relationship with another M2M?
What do you mean when you say mutual?
it would be great if you can send me proper test example with post types and its relationship (all M2M relationship) and what exactly the output you are looking for. As by checking only the graph images I have really nothing to share with our Devs.
I need all required information in order to present to the devs.
When you say profile - do you mean user profile (author ID) or profile is CPT here?
- Do you mean there is 2 M2M relationship and you want to find posts belongs to same author in both M2M relationship?
BTW - with M2M is connected using intermediary post type so there is no way to connect another M2M relationship as relationship is the key here to fetch the posts.
Until and unless we have clear example and picture you share it's hard for me to present it to Devs.
