Hi Martin,
Reading through your most recent messages, I feel that the approach that I've been following till now of creating example views for you is not contributing much to your own learning experience around the views. I apologize for that.
From now on let's try a different approach and strictly focus on what steps you took, what were the expected results and what actually happened.
The current requirement of showing the stake on the dog page is very similar to what we covered when we wanted to show judges on the dog page ( ref:https://toolset.com/forums/topic/split-need-help-very-complicated-showing-judges-information/#post-1188041 )
Recaping as an overview, we wanted:
Dog -> Events -> Judges
So we first created a view "View to show all events related to adog", to get the events related to the current dog.
And inside the loop/list of that view, we included another view "View to show judges from an event - child", which would get the judges information related to the current event post.
The current requirement's overview is:
Dog -> Events -> Stakes
I've noticed that you've created a new view "View to show stakes within dog" that is set to show "Stakes Events Intermediary Posts". But this won't work, because we first only need to get the events related to the current dog.
A simple way would be to:
1. make a duplicate of your view "View to show all events related to adog" and name the new view something similar to "View to show all events related to a dog for Stakes".
2. next make a duplicate of your view "View to show judges from an event - child" and name the new view something similar to "View to show stakes from an event - child"
3. In this view's "Content Selection" settings, you'll uncheck the option for the "Events Judges Intermediary Posts" and will only select the option "Stakes Events Intermediary Posts", because this new view will be used to get the stakes information and not the judges.
4. In the "Query Filter" section, you'll also change the relationship field to have "Stakes Events" relationship and then update the contents in the template part of the view.
> also above your number 5 im lost!! could you also provide EXACT steps?
- All the steps and screenshots that were shared in my last message were from your website. Here is how I created the shortcode to nest the child view into the child view (step 5).
1. This is how your parent view's ( "View to show all events related to adog" ) content template was before the child view was added inside it:
hidden link
2. I kept the cursor, where I wanted to insert the child view and clicked the "Fields and Views" button.
hidden link
3. From the modal window, I selected the view that I wanted to insert.
hidden link
hidden link
4. As a result, the following shortcode was added to the content template:
hidden link
[wpv-view name="view-to-show-judges-from-an-event-child"]
5. But in this case, I didn't want any judges, but only those which are related to the current event and for this I needed that event's ID.
So I clicked the "Fields and Views" button again and selected "Post ID".
hidden link
6. On the next screen, I specified, that I didn't actually need the ID of the current post in the loop (because it would be the ID of the current "Events Dogs Intermediary Posts"), but would want the ID of the event from the "Events Dog" relationship.
hidden link
7. This gave me another shortcode in the content template section:
hidden link
[wpv-post-id item="@events-dog.parent"]
8. Next, I copied the shortcode attribute "wpvrelatedto" from the child view "View to show judges from an event - child", which was set in it's query filter settings.
hidden link
9. Using that shortcode attribute value, I combined the view's and post ID's shortcode, as one:
hidden link
[wpv-view name="view-to-show-judges-from-an-event-child"]
+
[wpv-post-id item="@events-dog.parent"]
[wpv-view name="view-to-show-judges-from-an-event-child" wpvrelatedto="[wpv-post-id item='@events-dog.parent']"]
We have a guide on passing the arguments to view's shortcode at:
https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/passing-arguments-to-views/
I hope this will make more sense now.

Waqar
