Hello,

i have CPT package as child post

one vendor can have more than 1 package

i already connect the packages as child to its parent vendor

and my problem now i want query parent field in child post single post

any idea about this ?

i have try using this

[code]
[wpv-layout-start]
[wpv-items-found]
<!-- wpv-loop-start -->
<wpv-loop>

<div align="center">[wpv-post-featured-image id='$twi-vendor']</div>
<div style="padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #ccc; margin-top: 20px;">
<div align="center">Contact Info</div>
<div style="margin-top:15px;">[types field='contact-info' id='$twi-vendor'][/types]</div>
</div>

</wpv-loop>
<!-- wpv-loop-end -->
[/wpv-items-found]
[wpv-no-items-found]
[wpml-string context="wpv-views"]No items found[/wpml-string]
[/wpv-no-items-found]
[wpv-layout-end]
[/code]

but that query only showing the latest parent post, and that is not the parent of the child

Hi Victor

You are using id='$twi-vendor' to reference the parent post both in the Types contact field and for the post featured image before that.

I take it that the types field is referencing the wrong parent post, but what about the featured image? Is that correct or not?

hello Nigel

from the picture, image on the left side is picture image from parent post vendor and that is wrong parent

and the image on the right side is the feature image of package child and this correct image but this is not parent

just for little noted, im using toolset view to loop package CPT and then i place do shortcode to single-twi-package.php

and for the left of picture (the parent) i'm using toolset view loop and place the shortcode to sidebar, this sidebar will load only on package CPT

still need guide about this how to output correct parent field in its child post

thanks

I don't understand why you are using Views in your PHP single post templates.

We have a guide to displaying fields from post parents when editing PHP templates here: https://toolset.com/documentation/customizing-sites-using-php/displaying-parent-posts/

It's not clear from that page, but you can specify the same id='$twi-vendor' parameter directly in the function types_render_field, equivalent to the types shortcode, but used directly in the PHP template.

So you can add this to your single-twi-package.php template and it should output the field of the parent:

echo types_render_field( 'contact-info', array( 'id' => '$twi-vendor' ) );

For standard fields such as the featured image field you would need to use the technique shown in the linked documentation page to get the id of the parent post using the function wpcf_pr_post_get_belongs();

Try updating your template according to the guide and let me know how you get on.
