I am trying to:
to add a shortcode with this function

add_shortcode( 'child-comune', 'child_comune_func' );
function child_comune_func( $atts ) {
$child_posts = types_child_posts('comune');
$res = 0;
if ($child_posts) $res = 1;
return $res;
}

So I can ceck if there are any child types post. In case of yes I will display the child link

with this

[wpv-conditional if="( '[child-comune]' eq 1 )"]

Comuni

[/wpv-conditional]

Link to a page where the issue can be seen:
hidden link
I expected to see:
the menu with the only linking button to child page
Instead, I got:
all the items as it seems the above mentioned function doesn't work anymore

Hi Charlie,

Thank you for contacting our support forum.

You will need to update your code with our New api method here.

Thanks,

I have understood but i don't have any idea I tried in this way but it won't function

function toolset_get_related_post( $land_germania, 'child' ){

if ($land_germania) {
return != 0;
}
add_shortcode( 'child-landgermania', 'toolset_get_related_post(' );
}

Hi Charlie,

IN your case you should be able to do this.

$child_posts = toolset_get_related_post_types( 'child', 'comune' );

Please try this and let me know.

Thanks,

Ok that's all right. But I just want to know what kind of output is if an array or a true false.

In your site you put this as example

$relationship = toolset_get_relationship('tracks-of-an-album');

I just want to know if $relationshp is true or an array than add shortcode
if $relationshp null do nothing

In my case

add_shortcode( 'child-comune', 'child_comune_func' );
function child_comune_func( $atts ) {
    $child_posts = toolset_get_related_post_types('child', 'comune');
  
}

How can i say if it is not empyty $chil_posts?

Hi Charlie,

The return for this function is an associative array.

https://toolset.com/documentation/customizing-sites-using-php/post-relationships-api/#toolset_get_related_post_types

You can actually do this .

empty($child_posts)

It will return true if its empty and false if not.

But you can negate it by doing this.

if( !empty($child_posts))

So what this is saying if $child_post is NOT empty then do .

Please let me know if this helps.

Thanks,
Shane

The problem is in the new API tool toolset_get_related_post_types which I think is not the right function
In this page http;//www.araldicacivica.it/stemmi/stato/germania and http;//www.araldicacivica.it/stemmi/stato/italia
there is the word empty as an example because i used this function

add_shortcode( 'child-landgermania', 'child_landgermania_func' );
function child_landgermania_func( $atts ) {
    $child_posts = toolset_get_related_post_types('child', 'land-germania');
 if (!empty($child_posts))
	
	
	 
  { echo 'empty'; }
}

So the problem is in the function. Not after.
What I want is that in the page italy I do not want show the menu Lander Germania (because there is not the child types lander)
Instead in the second page I want the menu which indicates me that germany has landers as child types.
The related posty typed is general but I want in this specific case. n early version was so simple. Now I don't know which function is the best to achieve this.

thank you

Hi Charlie,

I took a look at this for you again.

SO the correct function should be.

    $child_posts = toolset_get_related_posts( get_the_ID() , 'stato_comune', 'parent' );

This should give you the child posts.

Thanks,
Shane
