[Resolved] Problems when switching from the VIEW to the individual view of a post

Hello Toolset team,

I am asking for your help. This is the first time I'm getting serious about Toolset. I follow your videos at https://toolset.com/documentation/

I am referring to the videos "Directory and listing sites" and "Memberships".

I am faced with the following task. My task is to rebuild the ad and job market, as it is currently available on the Joomla 3 website hidden link

I am currently working under the dummy website hidden link using Toolset.

In the meantime, I have created a custom type for the advertising and job market based on the existing live website, and I have also created custom fields and taxonomies. I have created a template for displaying a single post under the frontend. I have also created a view that displays the posts in almost the same way as on the website hidden link
(see attached pictures 1 - 3).

After repeated attempts, I am unable to switch from the View of posts to the presentation of a single post. I have now installed your tour website under the dummy web account hidden link and am trying to understand how it is possible to be redirected to the view of a single tour when clicking on a tour in the overview (View).

The task is otherwise simple (see attached images). The title of the advertisement is based on the post title. The display of the federal states of Austria is based on taxonmies. The date and time are read out via a shortcode command. Clicking on an image or the title of the advertisement in the view (see images 1 - 3) should take you to the individual view of a post (see image 4).

Can you please help me to solve my error. If you wish, I can send you the access data to the web account under which I work.

Kind regards
Mark from Innsbruck/ Austria

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

You can use view when you want to display custom search or list of post and you can use the content template when you want to display the single post.

Here is more information about content template:
- https://toolset.com/glossary/template/
- https://toolset.com/course-lesson/creating-templates-to-display-custom-posts/

Here is how you can create views:

- https://toolset.com/course-lesson/creating-a-custom-search/

Do you mean while listing the view result when you click on specific view item (post) you want to redirect user to the single post of the clicked view item?

Dear Minesh,

thank you for your quick reply and your help. I know the links to the videos in question. I know how to create a view or a template, as Dario explains very clearly.

What I have not yet understood is how to get from the view of posts to the display of a single post for which I have previously created a template.

==

I'll explain it to you using the example of your tour website, which I installed under the dummy domain hidden link

I click there on the menu-link "Find the tour of your dreams".

I then land on the overview page hidden link

This page is based on a view with search options.

I scroll further down and see the post "Discover the hidden caves of Semuc Chamey".

I click on the title and end up in the detailed view of the post in question at hidden link

This is exactly what I want to achieve under the adverts and job market, which I have to solve (see also the two images I enclose)

People interested in jobs should be able to switch back and forth between the view of jobs and the individual view of a job advert.

==

If you like, I will gladly send you access data to my website. I need help quickly, as I need to have the adverts and job market ready by the end of this year.

Thanks in advance for your support
Mark

To add a link with post title - if you are using blocks:

Then you should add a "Single Field" block to your view and select the option "Standard Field" from "Field Type" section from right sidebar and further select "Post title with Link".

Please check the following screenshot:
- hidden link

Please make sure you already created the single post content template:

If you still not certain how to do it - just send me admin access details and I will be happy to help you further.

Dear Minesh,

thank you again for your help. You just made my day. Your hint to change the source of the Toolset Heading from "Post Title" to "Post Title with a link" was the missing link I was looking for.

I have also watched Dario's YouTube video "Build Dynamic Sites with WordPress Block Editor" under the link hidden link

Dario explains here how to create a gym list/ a list of fitness centers. In minute 7:19 he also mentions that he assigns "Post Title with a link" to the Toolset Heading as the source.

I have now also made this change to my ad and job market. Now it works as desired. Clicking on the title of a post in the view now takes you to the individual view of the post in question.

From Austria, I wish you and the Toolset team a Merry Christmas and a hopeful year ahead.
Mark
