I am trying to:Create a Parent cpt in Toolset with a child cpt created by The Events Calendar
I visited this URL: Toolset CPT post edit page
I expected to see: ddlist of TEC created cpt "Events"
Instead, I got: no ddlist
The Events calendar plugin creates cpt Events and Venues. I used Toolset to create a cpt Concert Series for use as a parent to both Venues and Events, both of which show and can be set up as children when creating the concert Series cpt.
When going to an Event Post I can select a "Concert Series" to be used as a parent from a ddlist.
When going to a Concert Series post neither Events or Venues populate ddlists as expected.
The following shows how the 2 TEC post types are registered
/** * Args for the event post type * @var array */ protected $postTypeArgs = array( 'public' => true, 'rewrite' => array( 'slug' => 'event', 'with_front' => false ), 'menu_position' => 6, 'supports' => array( 'title', 'editor', 'excerpt', 'author', 'thumbnail', 'custom-fields', 'comments', ), 'taxonomies' => array( 'post_tag' ), 'capability_type' => array( 'tribe_event', 'tribe_events' ), 'map_meta_cap' => true, 'has_archive' => true, ); /** * Args for venue post type * @var array */ public $postVenueTypeArgs = array( 'public' => true, 'rewrite' => array( 'slug' => 'venue', 'with_front' => false ), 'show_ui' => true, 'show_in_menu' => 0, 'supports' => array( 'title', 'editor' ), 'capability_type' => array( 'tribe_venue', 'tribe_venues' ), 'map_meta_cap' => true, 'exclude_from_search' => false, ); protected $taxonomyLabels;
Thanks. Yes that is correct. I created the parent and as seen in the image both Events and Venues are select able items to be children. I did this.
When trying to associate children to the parent post is when I have the issue. I was looking for 2 pre populated dropdowns one with all Events and one with all Venues to select from. I get no dropdowns, instead I get prompted to create a new event. I see now that is working correctly as in the tutorial. There sis no dropdawn.
I do still have a problem here. When an event OR venue (child) is either already associated with a Concert Series (parent) or I attempt to create a new child on the Parent page the Post Title is not available, either populated or as an empty textbox to fill in
Hi Frank,
When you create a child post you must first need to save the post before you can associate it with a parent.
I tried this and I was able to see the dropdown for the Parent posts See Screenshot.
This screenshot is actually from my Events post type that was created by the events calendar plugin.
That is exactly what I'm looking for but not what I get. On the parent page after saving it I attempt to add a child and do not get a dropdown. I get as step1.png shows. After I click add event new event button I get step2.png
Attached also is the Post type creation page
