I want to associate each album with an author and display the author's name as a clickable link that directs to their custom post page.
Solution:
The best approach is to create a one-to-many post relationship between the Author and Album post types. This allows you to select an author directly within the album post. Then, using a Toolset View, you can retrieve and display the related author’s title with a link to their page.
Two grids with single fields are causing duplication issues when the second row is conditional. The second field in red is duplicated in the first one (in blue).
Solution:
- Check for HTML code inside conditionals that might cause errors, especially unclosed tags.
- Verify the conditional logic and ensure it works correctly according to the documentation.
- Make sure you select the year, month and date in the date picker, then click the update button to save the post.
Problem:
The user has a grid view that should display 2*3 elements, and it was displaying 3 rows with (3,2,1) columns.
Solution:
The issue was caused by a nested <em> HTML tag in the custom field used inside the loop of the view. That breaks the validity of the whole view and Toolset generated an undesired grid.
Once we removed the child "em" tag, the issue was fixed.
Problem: I have 3 custom post types - Artists, Books, and Works on Paper. I have two one-to-many (O2M) relationships: Artists-Books where Artist is parent and Book is child, and Artists-Works On Paper where Artist is parent and Work on Paper is child. I'm using the Favorites plugin to allow my site visitors to add favorite Books and favorite Works on Paper. In the list of favorite posts, I would like to display information about the related Artist.
Solution: The best way to handle this is to use the Favorites plugin's filters API to filter the favorites list HTML. You can use the Toolset Post Relationships API toolset_get_related_posts to get information from related posts in that filter callback:
/**
* Toolset Support
* Filter the Favorites list information to display related Artiste info
* Currently supports Livres and Oeuvres Sur Papiers post types for Favorites
* Extendable by adding a case statement for new post type / relationship slug
* https://toolset.com/forums/topic/find-related-custom-post-type/
*/
add_filter( 'favorites/list/listing/html', 'custom_favorites_listing_html', 10, 4 );
function custom_favorites_listing_html($html, $markup_template, $post_id, $list_options)
{
// relationship slugs per favorite post type
$post_type = get_post_type( $post_id );
switch($post_type) {
case "livre":
$rel_slug = "livre_artiste";
break;
case "oeuvre-sur-papier":
$rel_slug = "oeuvre-sur-papier-artiste";
break;
default:
return $html;
};
// Get related posts with Toolset post relationships API
$children_args = [
'query_by_role' => 'parent',
'role_to_return' => 'child'
];
$children = toolset_get_related_posts( $post_id, $rel_slug, $children_args);
// Build a string of related post titles, separated by a comma,
// and concatenate it into response HTML, then return it
$child_titles = [];
if( $children && count( $children ) > 0 ) {
foreach( $children as $child ){
$child_titles[]= get_the_title($child);
}
return $html . implode(',', $child_titles);
}
// in case no related posts are found, return the default HTML
return $html;
}
