Hi,

So I use The Grid Plugin to display a list of my post. This plugin offer a Skin Builder, in this builder I have an option to put text/html or metadata. My Goal is to display the title of the parent CPT (Section) related to the post who is displayed (This post is child of the cpt).

Normally to do that I use :

wpv-post-title item="@relationship-slug.parent"]

But this shortcode doesn't work in text/html or in metadata.

Here documentation about metadata in a skin builder : lien caché

So I think I need to retrieve the right metadata of my relationship and put the code in.

Can you help me find the right metadata ?

Hi Marc

Looking at that documentation it seems pretty clear that what you want is simply not possible.

They obviously use their own bespoke way of retrieving the post meta, which doesn't allow for anything other than retrieving it directly from the current post.

The only way you might get it to work would be if they provided a filter for the get_post_meta call that they must be doing under the hood, so that you could alter the ID of the post the custom field should be retrieved from.

You would need to ask them if they have such a filter, or if there were any other way you could set the ID of the post that supplied the post meta to be any different than the current post.

If they can provide such a mechanism or filter, I could help you with the code to provide the correct ID.

Ok thank you. Is not possible so I gonna find another solution.

Thank you for your awesome support.

No problem. It would be worth contacting their support to ask if the call to get the post meta can be filtered.
