I am trying to:
show repeating fields in view from parent cpt if exist.

i have a parent "projekt" with repeating child fieldset/cpt "pdownloads". In Child "objekt" of parent "projekt" i want to show the "pdownloads" of the same parent "projekt".

How can i do this? My way: i created a view (screenshot)

Whats wrong?

best regards - alex

Hi Alex,

Thank you for contacting our support forum.

Actually what you can do to check if the child has a parent is to use our conditional shortcode.

[wpv-conditional if="( '[wpv-post-field name='_wpcf_belongs_job_id']' ne '' )"] 

repeatable fields

[/wpv-conditional]

[wpv-conditional if="( '[wpv-post-field name='_wpcf_belongs_job_id']' eq '' )"] 

some other content

[/wpv-conditional]

From the example above you see that i have the slug _wpcf_belongs_job_id , this references the custom field that the parent information is stored. Now in your case you will use "_wpcf_belongs_{parent-cpt_slug}_id" where you will replace the {parent-cpt_slug} with the slug of your CPT.

For more information on the conditional shortcode please see the link below.

Please let me know if this helps and if there are further queries.

Thanks,
Shane

Hey Shane,

where in my View i can put it in? - When i do it in the Loop it doesn't help.

here is my code:

[wpv-conditional if="( '[wpv-post-datei name='_wpcf_belongs_projekte_id']' ne '' )"] 
<a href="[types field='datei' link='true' output='raw'][/types]" titel="[types field='datei' link='true' output='raw'][/types]"><i class="fas fa-download"></i>  [types field='download-titel'][/types] [types field='art'][/types] Größe: [types field='size'][/types]</a>
[/wpv-conditional]
 
[wpv-conditional if="( '[wpv-post-datei name='_wpcf_belongs_projekte_id'']' eq '' )"] 
<a href="[types field='datei' link='true' output='raw'][/types]" titel="[types field='datei' link='true' output='raw'][/types]"><i class="fas fa-download"></i>  [types field='download-titel'][/types] [types field='art'][/types] Größe: [types field='size'][/types]</a>
 [/wpv-conditional]

Hi Alex,

Would you mind providing me with admin access to the website so that I can take a look at the view?

The private fields will be enabled.

Thanks,
Shane

Hi Alex,

From your code i dont see where its a field from the parent you want to display but rather a field from another child from that parent.

I see that youre looking for the Datei field is this correct?

Please let me know.
Thanks,
Shane

Hi Shane,

oh sorry its the view "Downloads Objekt" - my fault.

there is the field [types field='datei' link='true' output='raw'][/types] which should target the File stored in parent "Projekt"

thx - alex

Hi Shane,

yes - but you dont change the code? What was wrong?

thx a lot - alex

Hi Alex,

Ahh yes I didn't what I did was to add a filter to the view for the parent projekt , since the objekte and the pdownloads share the same parent cpt, so essentially pdownloads and objekte are siblings. So if I found the parent of the current objekte that i'm viewing then I can use that parent information to find the pdownload.

I did that by adding this filter. See Screenshot

Then I filtered the view using the shortcode parameter.

[wpv-view name="downloads-objekt" wpvprchildof="[wpv-post-id id='$projekt']"]</div>

So that is all that was needed 🙂 I was a bit unsure earlier but then you pointed me to the right view that I should be looking at.
