Tell us what you are trying to do?
I am trying to learn toolset. I have purchased a new domain and have hosting with hostgator, I’ve loaded a fresh wordpress install and made sure the only plugins are really simple ssl, toolset blocks, types, forms and maps (no elementor pro etc.)
I’m literally interested in learning to use toolset to get to the point where I have a view displaying custom post type posts created by filling out a form. So far I’ve had to use a lot of trial and error as there appears to be many options available throughout the toolset plugin which are not covered in the tutorials, and many out of date tutorials (I’m aware of the current effort to solve this). It’s possible that I’m getting close to my current goal but hugely likely that I’m making at least one silly mistake or missing a vital step.
I’d be very grateful for any assistance as I’m keen to be able to use what appears to be a great product.
So far I have:
-Created a Custom Post Type in the toolset dashboard (called ‘JOBS’)
-Made a field group for the ‘JOBS’ CPT
-Created a form for ‘JOBS’ which includes all the custom fields and a post title
-Made a page (customer portal)
-Used the toolset form block to add this form to the page
-From an incognito window used this form to create 8 entries for the ‘JOBS’ CPT
-Created a template for jobs using the Gutenberg block editor, consisting of:
-Toolset container block containing:
-Columns block with two columns containing:
-Toolset heading block, dynamic content – post title
-Toolset Field and text blocks for each custom field of ‘JOBS’
-Attempted to make an Archive of ‘JOBS’, using the block editor
-Attempted to make a View of ‘JOBS’ using the toolset view block (underneath the form on the same page)
-Used the incognito window to establish my View doesn’t work yet on the front end
Things that might be relevant:
-I went from toolset dashboard > template for jobs > and saw my template containing the most recently input set of entries for the ‘JOBS’ CPT entered from the form on the front end (seems a good sign) clicked ‘view on front-end’ and the same wasn’t there. At this point I spent some time re-watching tutorial videos and reading/googling others questions & answers from the toolset forum, eventually I went into toolset content templates and in the ‘JOBS’ line picked out the jobs template I created and now when I go toolset dashboard > template for jobs > view on front-end I see my template with a set of entries from my form in it (woohoo!)
- I haven’t added any taxonomies to ‘JOBS’ CPT
- I haven’t delved into post relationships with ‘JOBS’ CPT
- I didn’t add the access plugin.
- I have attempted to include some conditional logic on my form and am still having issues with it, I’ve established that although there’s an option to include conditional logic when creating post field groups as well as an option to include it when making a form, it seems that the two clash in some way (what’s the purpose of two opportunities to include conditional logic?)
- I have established through trial and error that including conditional logic on a repeatable field group isn’t possible, which I can appreciate would be difficult to include as a feature (but would also be amazing!).
As I mentioned my current target is to successfully create a view of my ‘JOBS’ CPT which shows on the front end, I will move on to searches/query’s/pagination and post relationships with other custom post types afterwards but. But for now, if you could point out what I’m doing wrong or failing to do that would be brilliant. I am undergoing a ‘career transition’, and don’t have much experience in this field as such I won’t be perturbed if you explain the basics to me.
Thanks in advance.
Is there any documentation that you are following?
Most recently I have been focusing on your youtube tutorials from this year in the hope that the information is both upto date (sure it is), relevant to my cause (much of it seems to be) and conclusive without any important steps missing (perhaps my issue? am I failing at a very basic level?)
Is there a similar example that we can see?
For now, if i get to the point where I have a view on the front-end showing some of my 'JOBS' custom posts then i'll be very happy
What is the link to your site?
