Problem: I have a custom post type "Renter" that includes two Repeating Field Groups (RFGs) "Phone numbers" and "Email addresses". I would like to create a table View that shows all Renters and includes all of their phone numbers and emails as well.
Solution:
Use 3 nested Views. Create 1 View for Renters that builds the main table. Each row in the table represents 1 Renter. Create 1 View for Phone Numbers repeating field group (RFG), and 1 View for Email addresses RFG. You do not need to create a whole table for each repeating field group.
Set up your View of Phone Number RFG with a post relationship filter, set by the current post in the loop (which in your case will be Renter from View 1). Use the Loop Wizard to create an unordered list style View that outputs each phone number item. Insert the View of Phone Number RFGs in the View of Renters Loop Output, nesting the View shortcode in the correct table cell.
Set up your View of Email RFG the same way, with a post relationship filter set by the current post in the loop.
I was wondering if I could sync the data entered into these into MailChimp so that I could use these fields with a MailChimp campaign. Then if a email receipent updated their preferences in MailChimp to edit their phone for example, could I then have this information auto sync'd back to the WordPress CPT that it came from.
Solution:
There isn't such a built-in feature within Types plugin or other Toolset plugins, but you can search it in google plugin Directory, for example:
The issue here is that the customer's map works fine on his backend but on his frontend there is nothing displaying on the map, just a grey area.
Solution:
In this user's case he had not added the marker information for his map. To add the marker you first needed to have added the Map shortcode to the page. Once the map shortcode has been added then you will go to your editor and click the Fields and Views button and search for Marker and then add your marker.
Solution:
You can use CRED API hook cred_save_data in order to create child post and to establish relationship (connection) between your parent and child post type entry you need to add postmeta key.
When using Types posts relationships, the parent of a given type is stored in a field:
Problem:
Display child posts of specific parent "location" posts
Solution:
Types plugin is using a hidden custom field _wpcf_belongs_[parent-slug]_id to store the parent post ID, for example, the custom post type "LOCATION" is using slug "location", then the custom field slug is "_wpcf_belongs_location_id". you can try this:
1) Dashboard-> Views-> Settings-> Features
in option "Hidden custom fields", find and enable the option "_wpcf_belongs_location_id"
2) Edit your view which list child "ART" posts, add a filter:
Select items with field:
_wpcf_belongs_location_id is a number in VIEW_PARAM(locationid)
3) put the Views's shortcode into your content, like this:
[wpv-view name="my-view-name" locationid="123,456"]
Please replace the 123, 456 with the post ID of LOCATION A and LOCATION C
