This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem:
I am moving a site over from using CMB2 to take advantage of the upcoming relationships API.
It contains repeating fields but using CMB2, they are just stored as a serialized array in post meta.
From reading the documentation, it seems Toolset stores them within a hidden CPT, and all I can see is tutorials for accessing them by using a View/GUI.
I wasn't intending to use Views for this project. Do you have documentation for how to access them with API Functions?
Solution:
There isn't exact document for the Repeating Fields Groups API, but it is using child post type to store the Repeating Fields Groups , so you can use function toolset_get_related_posts() to get the child posts, then display custom field of each child post, for example:
1) Create a Repeating Fields Groups "my-fields-group" in post type "my-cpt", add some custom field into the field group
2) In the your theme file single.php, add below codes:
$child_posts = toolset_get_related_posts(
get_the_ID(), //Post to query by.
'my-fields-group', //Slug of the relationship to query by
'parent', //Name of the element role to query by.
100, //Maximum number of returned results
0, //Result offset
array(),//Additional query arguments
'post_id', //Determines return type
'child' // which posts from the relationship should be returned
);
var_dump($child_posts);As you can see the last parameter is "child", it will be able to query the child posts of current post.
