Hi,
I would like to do something special. I am not sure it is possible.
I have two different views but with the same search form.
What i like is with one form, have two buttons and one buttons is to query one view 1 and second button query on view 2.
Is it possible easily ?
I explain why i want to do that. I have two pages, one query on childs, one query on childs but display parents, like you can see. It will be better if i can switch just with button. hidden link
Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.
The link you shared is not opening here. Maybe it requires login.
Do you mean that if I click on button 1, it should display the child posts and if I click on button 2, it should display only parent posts?
I will be able to guide you in the right direction once I review your setup.

I would also eventually need to request temporary access (WP-Admin and FTP) to your site. Preferably to a test site where the problem has been replicated if possible in order to be of better help and check if some configurations might need to be changed.

The thing is that, normally, you should create a two views, one to display parent posts and one to display the child posts as you are not allowed to filter the parent post based on child post type frontend filters.
I suggest you should go with that approach to create two different page and two views, one view that display parent posts and one view that display child posts.
Actually, you can create a view and filter the results for the post type you set to query. To filter parent/child posts using the same view is not recommended because you can not add the parent frontend filters to the child view.
That is why the recommended way is to create a single view for each post type of parent and child.
I know i can not use filter to filter on parent posts (it is the only big problem i found with toolset/wordpress). That is why when i create child posts i use relationship fields and fill them automatically.
And after i just filter on child posts. That works and i have no choice.
But it is not my problem....
Right now my question is : could i use one search filter for two different views which query on the same post type. But one return parent, one return child like this :
I see you shared two links:
=> hidden link and
=> hidden link
On both links, its using the different views. I still not understand what link you are displaying the child and on what link you are displaying the parent and on what link you want to add the two search buttons?
Is the following link displaying the child posts?
=> hidden link
On what link from above you want to add two different search buttons?
Is the following link displaying the child posts?
=> hidden link
YES
I don't understand what is no clear.
I have two views on two different pages. but these views use the same filters, what i want is to offer my visitors one form with two buttons. On button link to one view, one button link to the other view.
I need to check your current setup and how you configured your both views.
The following page displays the Child.
=> hidden link
The following view displays the parent;
=> hidden link
Please correct me if I am wrong.
Please share access details so I can check further.

I checked and there is no way to filter the results as you want.
You can have two buttons for example "Show Child" and "Show Parent" and there could be a workaround where you can check conditionally what button is clicked BUT both parent and child view's could be added in the same page, not on the different page.
Because you have option to display search results either on same page or different page.
- If we use the option to display the search results on the same page, we can add your another view that displays the parents.
- if we use the option to display the search results on a different page, then yes, you can chose it but then the once you click on the button "show Parent", it will be redirected to the page where you want to display the search results.
so, the only possibility I can see it to display both views results (parent/child) on a single page. Will that work for you?
There was issue while saving the Layout. I've resaved it and I see the page displays as expected:
=> hidden link
However - After checking to the plugins page, I found that you are using really outdated Toolset plugins. We always recommend to run your site with latest stable release plugin version.
*** Please make a FULL BACKUP of your database and website.***
Could you please update ALL Toolset plugins to it's latest officially released version. You can download the latest plugin release from your accounts page:

Once you update the plugins, please create a test page and send the link to me where I can play with and add the views together.
It is the child view. So we would like to add button and parent view, BUT if you think with your solution we need to load the two views in the same time and the button will just be the to display or hide view, don't lose your time because, my search is bit heavy so, i can not load two views.
What i need is, when we click on button 1 the view 1 is load, and when we click on button 2 view 2 is load.
