Tell us what you are trying to do?
I am trying to create a checklist platform where I create 3 post types x, y and z.
x will be my main view, y is where every post is an item on the checklist and z is something I can attach to the y, (for a specific x).
so when I create a new checklist entry (x), I see all the questions on the checklist (y), and I can add a comment/picture to each item, (z) if it needs one.
Is there any documentation that you are following?
not really, I have reviewed a bunch of them though.
Is there a similar example that we can see?
Its a checklist creation platform,
x is what I create whenever I want a new checklist.
all the questions are stored in y.
z stores all comments/images whenever a new checklist is created.
I hope I have been able to explain it properly. please let me know if there is any confusion
It sounds you are trying to build an app that WordPress may not be the most suitable development environment for, although it is not easy to deduce how exactly this may work on the basis of such abstract descriptions.
In any case, it sounds like you need to use post relationships to connect your x, y, and z post types.
You can use Views to display the connected posts (e.g. y's that belong to an x).
And you can use Forms to publish posts on the front end and connect them to other posts.
I suggest you familiarise yourself with all of the documentation on post relationships to familiarise yourself with what is possible, and then make a decision about whether WordPress is suitable for this project.
My apologies for the abstractness, let me try to explain it another way. I have also attached an excel file with the custom fields for each post type.
2 post types, Meal, Instructions. They have a many-many relationship, and the comments are relationship fields.
Process:
1. a form is used to create a meal, it redirects to the newly created meal page.
2. meal page shows a view with all the posts in the instructions post type.
3. on this page, comments can be attached to each instruction.
4. A viewer should be able to go to meal pages and see the instructions and comments for each meal that got prepared.
Problem:
All the posts under the 'instructions' post type should show up when a meal is created, and the user should not have to 'select' an instruction.
I don't understand how to set up a relationship form where both the connections are pre-selected, and only the relationship fields need to be entered.
