Hello!

Is there any way that using Elementor and Toolset together so that Elementor's Template builder can mimic the functionality of Toolset's Post Relationship capability? I am trying to avoid competing Templates. One option is to build the template entirely in Toolset and use that specifically. But (forgive me), I would prefer to use Elementor's Template builder. Each of these wonderful plugins have their strengths.

Specifically, in my case, I have an Author Post Type, and a Quotations Post Type and on my Author page I would like to have 3 quotes appear from that author across the bottom of the page. This is a perfect example of Toolset's Post-Relationship functionality.

I have created a view in Toolset, but it doesn't filter properly when I bring it into Elementor. I could easily be doing something wrong. But I'm hoping you know a better way!

The attached image shows a quote for the Author which I placed manually, and it is not dymanic. The template was created in Elementor. When I placed the Toolset view, I could bring quotes in, but they did not "loop". Instead, they listed vertically.
Thanks for your help and support.

Hello,

It is possible to display Toolset post view in Elementor's Template, you can setup the post view with classic editor, for example:
1) Dashboard-> Toolset-> Settings-> General, in section "Editing experience", enable option "Show both the legacy and Blocks interface and let me choose which to use for each item I build", save

2) Dashboard-> Toolset-> Views, follow our document to create a post view, query the related posts:

Above document is using Blocks editor, but it is similar workflow in classic editor.

3) Edit your Elementor's Template, display above post view's shortcode in it:
