Hi,
I'm trying to create a voting system and I followed Beda's instructions:
https://toolset.com/forums/topic/voting-system/

Then I followed other documentations to limit the post count function to children post of a parent. Users can vote one time for a parent post but they can vote for other parents.

I tyed this code but it doesn't work:

function u_post_count() {
$user_post_count = count( get_posts( array(
'post_type' => 'valutazione-sogg',
'posts_per_page' => -1,
'author' => get_current_user_id(),
'toolset_relationships' => array(
array(
'role' => 'child',
'related_to' => get_the_ID(),
'relationship' => array( 'politico', 'valutazione-sogg' )
)),
) ) );
return $user_post_count;
}

I can't connect parents with their children's posts. What am I doing wrong?
Thank you for your help.

Best.

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

Can you please tell me where you added the code that connects the posts and what is the post-relationship you created?

Toolset do not offer the voting system natively but you will have to write your custom code to build it.

Hi Minesh,
thank you for your answer.

I followed this forum post: https://toolset.com/forums/topic/voting-system/ to create a voting system.

Then I followed Beda instructions to limit post submission https://toolset.com/forums/topic/logged-in-users-can-submit-the-form-and-create-content-only-one-time/

So I added my code into Toolset -> Settings -> Custom code and then I added u_post_count function to Toolset > Settings > Front End Content > Functions inside conditional evaluations.

After I used an HTML Conditional in my Content Template to show create post form if the value is 1.

It works fine, but after a post-submission user can't vote for other parents' posts. I need to limit child post submission in relation to its parent's post.

My relationship is Politici - Valutazioni soggettive (slug: politico-valutazione-soggettiva) where Politico is parent and Valutazioni soggettive is Child. It s a one to many relationship.

But I can't link them in my function and I don't understand what I am doing wrong.

I hope my explanation is clear enough 🙂
Thanks for your help.

To query the related posts based on the current loggedin user, you will require to adjust the u_post_count() function code as given under:

function u_post_count() {
    global $post;

 $query = new WP_Query( 
 array(
  'post_type' => 'valutazioni-soggettive',
  'posts_per_page' => -1,
   'author'    => get_current_user_id(), 
  //new toolset_relationships query argument
  'toolset_relationships' => array(
   'role' => 'child',
   'related_to' => $post->ID,
   // this will work only with relationships that have existed before the migration
   // if possible, use the relationship slug instead of an array
   'relationship' => 'politico-valutazione-soggettiva'
  ) ) );
$user_post_count = count($query->posts);

return $user_post_count;
}

Can you please adjust the code and check if that helps you to resolve your issue.

Hi Minesh,
Your code works fine, I changed the post slug, and now it is perfect!

Thank you so much!
