Hi guys,

i have a question. I have two post types called articles and slides. In articles admin can setup a slider selecting 'slide' posts from a many to many relation. In the relation i created a relationship field called 'slide position'. It's a numeric field and i want to give admin control of the slide order using this number.

When i select 'slide position' field in the view for ordering it's resulting in an error (sorry no posts).
How to set it up correct?

Thanks!

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

When you say:
In the relation i created a relationship field called 'slide position'. It's a numeric field and i want to give admin control of the slide order using this number.
==>
do you mean that the field 'slide position' is belongs to intermediary post type of many-to-many post relationship?

If yes, then you should have to set your view to query the intermediary post type and then display the parent/child fields accordingly as intermediary post type will have access to both parent and child posts of your many-to-many post relationship.
