Hi,
I need to retrieve a relationship field when connecting two posts but it's returning blank. I have this simple function where in based on the intermediary_id, I should fetch the field ($donor_rel) but it's returning blank, I verified in the database that there is a value in the post meta field. Did I miss anything?
add_action( 'toolset_association_created', 'add_donor_scholar_association', 10, 5 );
function add_donor_scholar_association( $association_slug, $parent_id, $child_id, $intermediary_id, $association_id ){
error_log("association ". $association_slug." parent_id:".$parent_id." child_id:".$child_id." intermediary_id:".$intermediary_id." association_id:".$association_id );
if ( $association_slug == 'donor-scholar' ) {
$donor_rel = get_post_meta( $intermediary_id, 'wpcf-donor-scholar-relationship-status', true );
error_log("donor_rel:".$donor_rel);
...
Hi,
Welcome to Toolset support. I suggest that you test the steps below:
- Confirm the intermediary really exists and is the one you expect
Log the intermediary post type/status and ensure it’s not a draft/autosave:
$intermediary = get_post( $intermediary_id );
error_log( print_r( array(
'ID' => $intermediary_id,
'post_type' => $intermediary ? $intermediary->post_type : 'no-post',
'post_status' => $intermediary ? $intermediary->post_status : 'no-post',
), true ) );
- If meta is empty in this hook, run your read after Toolset completes saving
add_action( 'toolset_association_created', function( $slug, $parent_id, $child_id, $intermediary_id, $association_id ) {
if ( $slug !== 'donor-scholar' ) {
return;
}
wp_schedule_single_event( time(), 'chr_read_donor_scholar_intermediary', array( $intermediary_id ) );
}, 10, 5 );
add_action( 'chr_read_donor_scholar_intermediary', function( $intermediary_id ) {
$donor_rel = get_post_meta( $intermediary_id, 'wpcf-donor-scholar-relationship-status', true );
error_log( 'donor_rel (after save): ' . $donor_rel );
} );
Also verify the meta ke. Make sure wpcf-donor-scholar-relationship-status is the actual field slug stored on the intermediary post (relationship fields are stored on the intermediary, not on the parent/child posts).
