[Resolved] [Potential bug report] post relationships

I am trying to:
Display featured image of the current post

Link to a page where the issue can be seen:
Well it can't be seen because I've added a workaround, but this is where the problem existed.
hidden link

I expected to see:
Featured image of current post

Instead, I got:
Featured image of parent post.

The code I'm using for the content template is below.

On line 20 I use:

<img src="[wpv-post-featured-image size="full" output="url" id="$exhibitor"]" />

to display the featured image of the parent post (exhibitor post type).

On line 42 I should be able display the featured image of the current post using:

[wpv-post-featured-image size="full"]

However, this actually displays the featured image of the parent post (exhibitor post type) for some reason.
See Screenshot-2018-1-11 with problem showing.png
Seems like the parent post type is staying in memory for the featured image shortcode.

I'm working around the problem using this instead.

[wpv-post-featured-image size="full" item="[wpv-post-id]"]

This displays the correct image for the current post.
See Screenshot-2018-1-11 with workaround in place.png

Best regards
Tim

Hi Tim

Thanks for reporting this.

I just tried it on a vanilla site locally and it works as expected, I couldn't reproduce the problem you describe.

So I suspect there is some conflict with 3rd party code, from another plugin or the theme, which is causing this.

I know you have a workaround in place and don't need to, but if you have time you could try a no-conflict test by changing theme to twentyseventeen and disabling other plugins to see if you can identify a conflict.

Hi Nigel
It worked OK with normal post parent relationships, but it stopped working right when I switched to the newest beta of Views.

I'll have a go on a copy of the site later on.

Cheers
Tim

[Nigel]

Sorry, I hadn't noticed this was with the betas.

Let me test again.

[Nigel]

Hi Tim

I re-tested with the betas and still couldn't reproduce the problem.

I suspect it is because you have added the betas to an existing site.

If you create relationships with the beta, then when you use the Fields and Views button to insert the shortcode for the featured image and specify the parent post type, it no longer uses the id="$parent-slug" format, it instead looks something like this:

[wpv-post-featured-image size="medium" item="@project-task.parent"]

Even if I swap that for the old-style id attribute I still don't get the issue, but I created the relationship and the sample posts with the beta.

What, if anything, did you do to transition from the current stable versions to the betas for your post relationships and content?

[Tim Elliott]

Hi Nigel

Sorry for the delay in replying.
I'll try switching the code I'm using and see what happens.

To upgrade I just switched to the beta selection in the toolset updates page and it did it automatically. I then enabled the relationships in the settings and went from there.

I'll report back on whether the change of code helps.

[Nigel]

OK Tim

Let me know.

It sounds like you just followed the expected steps. If you still see the problem let me know and I'll get a copy of your site for testing, in case something is missed by the wizard that updates relationships.

[Tim Elliott]

Hi Nigel

I've tried with the new code the but the problem persists in my version. I now suspect it's because I have views within views that are messing with the ids. I've created a copy of the site so you can see it in all its glory....

Can I send you login details privately.

Thanks
Tim

[Nigel]

Hi Tim

Sorry for the delay, yes, let me set your next reply to get your credentials and I can take a look, and make a copy of your site if needs be.

[Nigel]

Hi Tim

Thanks for the credentials. Upon examining your content template I was able to understand specifically what causes the issue and reproduce it on a clean test site, and so I have escalated this thread and fed the information to our developers.

I'll keep you posted when I have something to report.

[Nigel]

Hi Tim

Reviewing the internal tickets I don't see a fix for this yet, but there is a workaround suggested, which is to force the correct post id, like so:

[wpv-post-title item="[wpv-post-id]"]

I'll keep you posted when the issue itself is resolved.

[Nigel]

Hi Tim

We published updated versions of the betas yesterday, and if you upgrade you should find this issue is fixed.

[Tim Elliott]

Thanks Nigel.

Now I've just gone into the copy site I shared with you in the Privat message and updated to the latest Beta. It does seem to have fixed the issue.

However I now get errors at the top of each seminar page.
Warning: call_user_func_array() expects parameter 1 to be a valid callback, function 'gutenberg_wpautop' not found or invalid function name in /home/time3842/public_html/btftypes/wp-includes/class-wp-hook.php on line 286

If I revert to production versions the error goes away.

I guess that's not actually related to the same issue but something to do with the preparation for the gutenburg editor?? Weird that the errors only appear when I update to the Betas though.

[Nigel]

Hi Tim

These betas also include support for Gutenberg (https://toolset.com/2018/02/types-views-and-cred-betas-with-post-relationships-and-repeating-field-groups/), but they neglected to actually test if Gutenberg is installed 🙁

There should be a quick fix for that soon with another minor update.

Sorry for the inconvenience.
