HI here is a basic rundown of what I am trying to achieve.

I have a CPT "advertiser". There are various custom fields in this ctp of which one is business-card (slug) this is an image field.

My objective is to create a view with a parametric search that will show the Business card images on a page that is being filtered by the taxonomy advertiser-category (slug) being a taxonomy on the advertisers. (achieved)

This is the results i have achieved. There are currently only two advertiser loaded on the system
hidden link

here is the code for filter editor this view "business-card-search-form":

[wpv-filter-start hide="false"]
<div id="parametric-search">
[wpv-filter-controls]
[wpml-string context="wpv-views"]Advertiser Categories:[/wpml-string] [wpv-control taxonomy="advertiser-category" url_param="wpv-advertiser-category" type="select" default_label="Select all"]
[/wpv-filter-controls]
</div>
[wpv-filter-end]

The loop output

[wpv-layout-start]
	[wpv-items-found]
	<!-- wpv-loop-start -->
	<wpv-loop>
		[wpv-post-body view_template="Loop item in Business card search form"]
	</wpv-loop>
	<!-- wpv-loop-end -->
	[/wpv-items-found]
	[wpv-no-items-found]
		<strong>[wpml-string context="wpv-views"]No items found[/wpml-string]</strong>
	[/wpv-no-items-found]
[wpv-layout-end]

and the output for the template

[types field='business-card' size='medium' align='none' resize='proportional'][/types]<br>
[types field='company'][/types]<hr>

(I might add div tags to start the formatting process but that should not impact this query.

The idea is then that the business card image must then open the Company profile when clicked on. The id for this page is "315". This page is working correct it just needs to be filtered by the above output.

hidden link

I just need assistance with the correct steps to achieve this.

I am attaching a screen print of both the view under discussion .

Hi Andre

Your parametric search is returning advertisers and in the loop output (via the linked content template) you are displaying the matching advertisers, except you are not displaying the whole advertiser post, just the business card custom field and the 'company' custom field.

But for each of those the matching advertiser is the current post in the loop.

Which means it is straightforward to wrap the business card in a link to the full post using the wpv-post-url shortcode (https://toolset.com/documentation/views-shortcodes/#wpv-post-url).

You don't need to add any parameters to specify the post, because you want the current post in the loop.

Hi NIgel, Such an easy solutions.

Does this mean it is alway advisable to keep you relationships as flat as possible? Does that then mean if you can keep it to one Post type with more field to will be easier to develop future functions than more than one Post type with a relationship between them?

[Nigel Supporter Languages: Anglais (English ) Espagnol (Español ) Timezone: Europe/London (GMT+01:00)]

It keeps things simpler if you can achieve something using custom fields on a post rather than establishing relationships between post types, and anywhere you have access to a post you can access its post meta data (the custom fields).

But there will be times when this is too limiting or it doesn't fit your data structure. Custom fields lack structure, so you couldn't really do something like the real estate example (described here: https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/creating-post-type-relationships/) just using custom fields.

It's one of those "it depends" cases...
