Can I know how it saves relationships between post types. Like I have created 2 post types books and reviews and I have created a relation between them where books is the parent. I want to call the value of one of the field of book. But how it saves relationships value in the database?

[amanT]

I have created 2 post types : Books and reviews and created forms for each. I have created 1 to many relationship for books and reviews where books is the parent and added that review form in book template. In reviews form, I've added that relation to retrieve the perticular book id. Now in review form, I want to retrieve the custom field value from database from parent post 'book'. How can I get the metakey of that? below I tried calling the metakey as 'related_book_id', but it didn't work. How can I retrieve custom field value of related post?

$book_id = get_post_meta($post_id, 'related_book_id', true);

To get the related parent post - you will have to use the types shortcode:

Lets say - You have "Book" and "Reviews" one-to-many post relationship with post-relationship slug "book-review". you have "number-of-pages" custom field available with your parent post type "Book". To get the parent post custom field value of "number-of-pages".

What if you try to use:

$field_slug = "number-of-pages";
$post_relationship_slug = "book-review";
$value = types_render_field($field_slug ,array("output"=>"raw","item"=>$post_relationship_slug));

More info:

And if you want to use get_post_meta, then first you will have to get the parent post book ID:

$field_slug = "number-of-pages";
$post_relationship_slug = "book-review";
$parent_book_id = toolset_get_related_post( $child_post_id , $post_relationship_slug );
$value = get_post_meta($parent_book_id , 'wpcf-'.$field_slug, true);

I tried this one, but book_id is not detecting and relative book Id is showing 0 in debug
Is there anything else to be added in $child_post_id?

$post_relationship_slug = "book-review";
$book_id = toolset_get_related_post( $post_id , $post_relationship_slug );
error_log('Related Book ID: ' . $book_id);

$points_to_deduct = get_post_meta($book_id , 'wpcf-points-to-deduct', true);
error_log('Points to Deduct (raw): ' . $points_to_deduct);

What hook you are using currently where you added the code you shared? cred_save_data?

[amanT]

Yes, it have to perform certain action upon form submission. I hope this might help you to understand

add_action('cred_save_data', 'award_and_deduct_points', 10, 2);

function award_and_deduct_points($post_id, $form_data) {
if ($form_data['id'] != 14536) {
return;
}
$book_id = toolset_get_related_post( $post_id , book-review );
error_log('Related Book ID: ' . $book_id);

$points_to_deduct = get_post_meta($book_id , 'wpcf-points-to-deduct', true);
if (!$book_id) {
return;
}

What if you try to use the "cred_submit_complete" hook:
- https://toolset.com/documentation/programmer-reference/cred-api/#cred_submit_complete

add_action('cred_submit_complete', 'award_and_deduct_points_complete', 10, 2);
function award_and_deduct_points_complete($post_id, $form_data) {
if ($form_data['id'] != 14536) {
return;
}
$book_id = toolset_get_related_post( $post_id , "book-review");
error_log('Related Book ID: ' . $book_id);

$points_to_deduct = get_post_meta($book_id , 'wpcf-points-to-deduct', true);
if (!$book_id) {
return;
}
