Hi

I needed to create a small school site so I created the following:

Teachers (CPT - Custom Post Type)
Students (CPT)
Classes (CPT)
- Class A
- Class B
- Class C

I need when the teacher logs in he can only see his own class students (say Class A).
So my question here is:

What is the best way to structure the above Custom Post types?
Should i put the classes (A, B, C) as a Taxonomies for both Students and also for the Teachers or should I make it a separate Post Type as I made it above?

How can I make every teacher only sees his own class students?
What is the best way to establish the relationship between them?

Any idea will be a great help

Kind Regards
M

Hi Motaz,

Thank you for contacting Toolset support. For this setup I would recommend to use CPTs and with one-to-many relationship between them.

- Classes cpt = will be parent
- Students and Teachers cpt = will be childs of classes cpt.

Creating and Displaying one-to-many Post Relationships using Toolset Types and Views plugin:

Thank you

Thanks Noman
That helped me a lot

I got another issue regarding the Ajax update.

Searching for an answer online i can see that this is a known problem for a lot of Toolset users and the answers always like: something wrong with your theme or your other plugins !!!.

So my question here is:
- If i use Number (4) as you can see on the screenshot attached nothing happened when selecting from the drop-down menu (Ajax not working)

- If i use Number (3) then i must add a Submit button and if i do add the Button it does not show on the front end and again the Ajax update not working

- If i use number (3) then i add Text search (input which i do not want and do not use) + Submit button (as you can see from the second screenshot) then everything is working fine

My theme developer said the theme does not block any Ajax call and i cleared all cash and disabled the rest of the plugin from my site plus tested the page on 3 different browsers but still did not work.

How to solve this issue?
Any Idea?

Kind Regards
