I am trying to:
make a new post form (child object) and i want in that form to be able to connect with a parent post (one to many rel.)

Link to a page where the issue can be seen:
hidden link
I expected to see:
a list box with the relationship results (the albums of the user)
Instead, I got:
an empty list box

i have tried the relationship to a view and it workd fine. only it CRED i have the issue.
alse have read all the related tuts of your site

Hi,

Thanks for the details, I have tried the URL you mentioned above, but get some JS errors, for example:
Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'split' of undefined

Then I have checked the form (ID 50) in your website:
hidden link

section "Content", click tab "JS Editor", there are some custom JS codes, you can try to remove them and test again, it works fine, see screenshot js-error.JPG

So it is your custom JS codes errors prevent Toolset form from working, I suggest you debug your codes manually, or you can remove them and test again.

Good morning Luo

Thank you for your answer it works now. I wanted to ask you something else. basicaly i upgrade my site to the new version of toolset. in the previews version I was using that Java code to get the relationship in custom php code .
inise that code i was using the
$catid = get_post_meta($post_id,"_wpcf_belongs_target-collection_id",true);
to get the name of the list box of the cred presenting the selected result of that relationship.

now it does now work that

i see inside cred that the relationship variable is @target-collection-target.parent

how can i read now this value ?

thanks

Yes, you are right, in the new post type relationship of Types plugin, you can get the parent post information with new API function toolset_get_related_post(),
https://toolset.com/documentation/customizing-sites-using-php/post-relationships-api/#toolset_get_related_post

for example: in a single child "Targets" post, you can get the related parent "target-collection" post's ID, like this:

$target_collection_id = toolset_get_related_post( $post_id, 'target-collection-target' );

The slug "target-collection-target" is your relationship slug:
hidden link

It seems that i have not understood something...

as i have read at the documentation
if a use the command
$target_collection_id = toolset_get_related_post( $post_id, 'target-collection-target' );

i will get the ID of the selected parent for that specific post

and after that logically with the command
$catname = get_the_title($target_collection_id );

i will get the value that was displayed inside the list box

is this correct ?

because i use the snippet
$target_collection_id = toolset_get_related_post( $post_id, 'target-collection-target' );
$catname = get_the_title($target_collection_id );

$newpath = $uploads['basedir']."/$catname";

if(!file_exists($newpath)){
mkdir($newpath, 0777, true);
}

and it seems that i cannot get that value of the list box

You can manually debug the PHP codes, line by line, like this:

echo $post_id;

Make sure it is a single "Targets" post ID,
And you can get the current "Targets" post ID like this:

$post_id = get_the_ID(); 

Then use the var $post_id in your custom PHP codes, more help:
