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 );
}
}
}

We want to show Trainers that are connected to the current Training post. So I added a "Post Relationship" filter and chose to show Trainers in the relationship "Trainer", connected to the post where this View is shown. See the screenshots here. Now you may want to remove the post author shortcode from the Layout so it's not repeated.
Hi Christian,
I don't see the view you made.
I tried to make this same filter in the view: 'Connected trainers' and placed this view in de Layout: 'Een training'.
It does not work. What am I doing wrong?
Please have a look at 'Connected -trainers'
Your activity results in that I see my own name as under Trainer as long as I'm I'm logged in, see screenshot.
Thanks sofar, nearly there,
Charlotte
