Tell us what you are trying to do? link from a view to parent posts only if a parent exists

Is there any documentation that you are following?

Is there a similar example that we can see?

What is the link to your site?

- I have two custom post types with parent and child relationship: Workshops (Parent) and Series (Child) (I hope I did this correctly in Toolset)
- On a page of my site i display a view which is a list of both Workshops and Series, and in the View Loop i have a link that should take thw user to the correct post. If the item in the View Loop is a "Series", then I want the link to go to the Parent Workshop instead of the Series post itself, but if the item in the View Loop is a Workshop (i.e. it doesn't have a Parent), then I want the link to go to itself.
- Is this possible without conditional output?

I have tried the following :

<a href="[wpv-post-url id='$parent']">click for more details</a>

and

<a href="[wpv-post-link id='$parent']">click for more details</a>

However, it doesn't work. The links always go to the post itself, even if the child has a parent.

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

What if you try to use the following code and try to resolve your issue.

<a href="[wpv-post-url item='@your-relationship-slug.parent'][/types]">click for more details</a>

where;
- Replace your-relationship-slug with your original post relationshp slug.

Hi Minesh - thank you, this helps get part of the way there!

It does work in linking to the parent (Workshop) if the item in the view loop is a child (i.e. a Series post type).

But if the item in the view loop is a Workshop post type, it doesn't link anywhere. I need it to link to the Workshop post itself if it's a Workshop.

Actually - I need to know how you setup the view and after that I'll be in the position to guide you in the right direction.

Can you please share information about how you setup your view? Please share the code or screenshot.

In my view, it displays a list of Workshops and Series post types.

Currently i have this workaround in my loop, which works:

[wpv-conditional if="( '[wpv-post-type]' eq 'workshop' )"]<a href="[wpv-post-url]">More Information</a>[/wpv-conditional]
[wpv-conditional if="( '[wpv-post-type]' ne 'workshop' )"]<a href="[wpv-post-url item='@workshop-workshop-series.parent']">More Information</a>[/wpv-conditional]

But i am wondering if I can make this simpler, without using two conditional statements?

This is exactly I was supposed to offer you. You are in the right direction and thats the way to display that.
