[Resolved] nested view

Hello
I have a custom post type “stations” with several simple “custom fields” and a “repeatable group” with precise dates and locations. Reading the various articles, I saw that I needed to create a “nested view”.

I also want to put the different times and places in the city in the popup.

Do you have more precise documentation for this?
Thank you

Hi,

Welcome to Toolset support. The block editor views do not support nested method, but the legacy views do.

- Go to "Toolset > Settings > General".
- Find the "Editing experience" section.
- Check the "Show both the legacy and Blocks interface and let me choose which to use for each item I build" checkbox.
- Reload the browser page.
- Go to the newly added "Toolset > Views" menu.
- There you will be able to edit the views.

You can learn more about using Nested views in legacy mode here:

Thanks.

hello
it's the same technique with a repeatable group ?

Hi,

Repeatable groups can be shown using views. I am not sure about the context of your question.

You can use nested views if you have repeatable groups.

Hi
in your exemple its taxonomy
I want to show this information,
is a tour of a recording truck that will visit different venues in different towns in France.

• city 1
location 1
schedule
location2
schedule
location3
schedule
• city 2
location 1
schedule
location2
schedule
location3
schedule

Hi,

Based on your requirements, here's how you can structure your data using Toolset's Repeatable Field Groups (RFGs) and nested Views:

You aim to display a schedule of a recording truck's tour across various cities in France. Each city has multiple locations, each with its own schedule. The desired front-end structure is:

City Name

- Location 1

- Schedule

- Location 2

- Schedule

...

Implementation Steps

Enable Legacy Views Interface:

- Navigate to Toolset → Settings → General.

- Under Editing experience, select Show both the legacy and Blocks interface and let me choose which to use for each item I build.

- Save the settings and refresh the page. You'll now see Toolset → Views in the admin menu.

Create Repeatable Field Groups (RFGs):

- Go to Toolset → Custom Fields and edit your "Stations" post type.

- Add a Repeatable Field Group named "Cities".

- Within "Cities", add a field for City Name.

- Inside "Cities", add another Repeatable Field Group named "Locations".

- Within "Locations", add fields for Location Name and Schedule.

This nesting allows each station to have multiple cities, each with multiple locations and schedules.

Create Nested Views:

View for Locations:

- Go to Toolset → Views and create a new View named "Locations View".

- Set the content selection to the "Locations" RFG.

- In the Query Filter, set it to display items where the parent is the current post in the loop.

- In the Loop Output, design the output to display the Location Name and Schedule.

View for Cities:

- Create another View named "Cities View".

- Set the content selection to the "Cities" RFG.

- In the Query Filter, set it to display items where the parent is the current post in the loop.

- In the Loop Output:

- Display the City Name.

- Insert the "Locations View" using the shortcode: [wpv-view name="locations-view"].

Integrate into Station Template:

- Edit the Content Template for the "Stations" post type.

- Insert the "Cities View" using the shortcode: [wpv-view name="cities-view"].

This setup will display, for each station, a list of cities, and under each city, its respective locations and schedules.

Thanks.

Your implementation steps are very clear, and I'd like to thank you for that.I should be all right
