Tell us what you are trying to do?
I have a database with theatre plays (I hope this is the correct translation).
Content Type 1 - Plays: Every play has a title, description, duration ... and so on. Also the play exists in one or more languages. These are conncted with a one-to-many relation. Every play also has one or more authors. And each author may have written one or more plays. That's why I connected the authors to the plays with a many-to-many relation.
Content Type 2 (one-to-many): stores data like language, subheadline, special notes ...
Content Type 3: stores the names of the authors. It's a relationship with a intermediary post type.
Now I need to make it possible for users to search for plays by one or many of following items: given a play title and/or by author and/or by the plays language (there is much more data the user should be possible to search by, but I try to keep it simple :-)).
So I need to search not only for data that's stored in the Content Type that is the main Content Type of the actual view (or WordPress Archive View), I also must search for data that is stored in other Content Types (and has been connected via relationships).
Is this possible? I did not succeed in implementing this.
Is there any documentation that you are following?
I have read and followed all instructions regarding the relationships.
Is there a similar example that we can see? hidden link - but the page is in german language ...
What is the link to your site? Sorry, localhost. But if you tell me that you could help me to succeed if would be glad to install a staging version on a online server.
Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.
Basically - you can build a custom search for the content type the view is attached to and then you can display the parent/child information based on your relationship structure.
You can set your view to filter by custom field of intermediary post when your view is set to query by intermediary post type. By doing this you can still able to output the fields or related posts.
Filtering by fields of a related post itself is not yet supported but we have plans to implement it in near future and it will implemented and publish in near future release. Please note that there is no ETA on it yet.
Another way, if you want to try out it is our test platform discover-wp.com is ready with new relationship. I suggest you should create a test site and try to play with it and that will help you to understand how relationship works and how you can display related content.
