I want to allow users to select parent posts in a many-to-many (M2M) relationship directly within a post form.
Solution:
In Toolset, managing many-to-many (M2M) relationships typically requires a separate Relationship Form. This is because post forms are designed to edit the main content, taxonomies, and custom fields of a post, while relationship management is handled separately.
Steps to Use a Relationship Form for M2M:
- Create a Relationship Form to manage the connections between posts.
- Display the form on the front end where users can connect or disconnect related posts.
The [wpv-conditional] shortcode doesn’t work as expected in an Events Manager template. Specifically, the condition comparing [wpv-user field="ID"] with [wpv-post-author format="meta" meta="ID"] doesn't produce output, even though their values are correct.
Solution:
The issue is caused by mixing types of quotes within the conditional statement, which can prematurely close the condition. Ensure you use:
- Double quotes for the if statement.
- Single quotes for the attributes within the shortcodes.
The customer wants to sort results based on the comments count.
Solution:
Upon further review, I identified that the comment_count field in the wp_posts table can be used directly for sorting. I provided a code snippet to add to the theme's functions.php file to sort by the comment_count field:
The customer wants to place the label behind the input in the search form to manipulate the label based on the input status using CSS. However, the input is currently placed inside the label, making this manipulation difficult.
Solution:
I confirmed that the customer is using legacy views to create the search form.
I checked internally and found that it is not possible to separate the label from the input using shortcodes in legacy views.
As a workaround, I suggested using JavaScript to manipulate the label based on the checkbox's checked status. Here is an example code snippet:
jQuery(function($){
$(".class_containing_your_checkbox input[type='checkbox']").change(function(event){
var checkbox = $(event.target);
var status = checkbox.prop('checked');
if (status) checkbox.parent().css('background-color', '#569cc3');
else checkbox.parent().css('background-color', '');
});
});
The code above applies CSS rules based on whether the checkbox is selected or not. The customer needs to change the function to target the specific div class containing the checkbox and apply the desired CSS for the labels.
