This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem: I have two custom post types, Trainers and Trainings, that are connected in a one-to-many relationship. Multiple Trainers can be associated with the same Training post. Each Trainer post is associated with only one User, who is the post author, and each User can only create one Trainer post. Each User can create multiple Training posts. I would like to automatically associate a new Training post created with Forms to the same post author's Trainer post.
Solution:
Use the cred_save_data API to add functionality whenever a new Training post is created. Use the WP get_posts method to determine the post author's Trainer post, and if it exists, use the toolset_connect_posts API to connect the Training and Trainer posts:
add_action('cred_save_data', 'ts_link_author_trainer_to_training',10,2);
function ts_link_author_trainer_to_training($post_id, $form_data)
{
global $current_user;
wp_get_current_user();
// if a specific form
if ($form_data['id']==541)
{
// get the Training post created by the current User
$trainer_args = array(
'post_type'=>'trainer',
'numberposts'=>1,
'author'=>$current_user->ID,
);
$trainer_res = get_posts( $trainer_args );
if(isset($trainer_res[0])) {
$trainer = $trainer_res[0];
// connect the trainer and the training just created by Forms
toolset_connect_posts( 'trainer-activiteit', $trainer->ID, $post_id );
}
}
}

I am trying to:
Add a formfield relationship to an existing Cred form
Link to a page where the issue can be seen:
access is restricted
I expected to see:
>Formfields > Relationship
Instead, I got:
Nothing, it is not there, see screenprint
Hope you can help,
Kind regards,
Charlotte
Okay thank you. Here's how I would set this up:
- Create a new Relationship Form for the Trainer relationship - trainer-aktiviteit
- Use the Autogenerate button to generate the Form
- Create a new Layout and insert the Relationship Form using a Relationship Form cell
- When you have inserted the Form cell, you will be shown a dialog like the screenshot here. You will choose to "link a Trainer to a given Training", because the Training is known but the Trainer must be selected. Choose "Use the current Training post".
- Do not assign the Layout to any post type or archives. Leave it unassigned.
- In the Training Template Layout or Content Template, insert a link to this Form by clicking the Toolset Forms button, then click your Form's button in the section "Relationship Links".
- Choose the settings as in the screenshot again.
- Test the link on the Training post. Let me know if you are able to see the Relationship Form on the front-end, and if the correct Training post is selected.
