[Résolu] Search parent filter doesn't show all available options

I came across an interesting glitch. Hopefully I can explain it clearly.

My system is a multi-user system, where each person creates a ton of content. One of the types is a "Vendor." I was creating a view with a search filter, and the parent "vendor" was missing certain vendors that should have been there. I changed the filter to "show all available", and took a snapshot of it.

The select box only shows 1 "Walmart". I then took a picture of the vendor posts, and you can see there are actually (3) Walmarts. So for the first person who created the Walmart vendor, their search filter works fine, but for the rest, it does not because the ID of Walmart in the search box does not match the _wpcf_belongs_to.. of the results.

Hopefully that makes sense. The root problem is that the search filter select box is only pulling the first instance of "Walmart", and not all (3) like it should.

I have created a work-around for now, by using a view to create the select filter instead of the shortcode.

<!-- wpv-loop-start -->
<select multiple id="wpv_control_multi-select_wpv-pr-child-of" name="wpv-pr-child-of[]" style="" class=" js-wpv-filter-trigger wpcf-form-select form-select select nice-select btn-input-group" data-currentposttype="vendor">
  		<wpv-loop>
              <option value="[wpv-post-id]" class="wpcf-form-option form-option option">[wpv-post-title]</option>
 		 </wpv-loop>
		</select>
	<!-- wpv-loop-end -->

Hi Adam

What's generating your Capture1.JPG screenshot?

I ran a quick test whereby I created custom posts called Parent and Child.

I created a few Parent posts, including 3 posts all with the same title of "Father".

When I created a Child post and went to assign the parent, all of the possible parents were included (see screenshot).

That's in the normal back-end editing screens.

Are you using a CRED form to add the child post?

I ran a quick test with CRED, as well, and had the same result.

If you could let me know a little more about how you are adding your content to see that multi-select box.

And can you verify that in the back-end edit screens you can create a child post and add any one of the Walmart parents?

Nigel,
The problem is with a parametric search filter. That is where the select box is from.

As you have mentioned, this problem does not exist with applying parents in a CRED form, only when using the parent as a filter in a search.

Hi Adam

I see it now, thanks for the clarification.

Having confirmed the issue I have escalated it to our developers, and as soon as there is anything to report I will let you know.

Hi Adam

Just a quick update to say that the issue has been identified and will be fixed in the next release.

In the meantime, an errata is being prepared with a workaround which will be published soon at https://toolset.com/errata/.

If you encounter any problems, please let me know.

Hi Adam

Last night we rolled out minor-version updates of several plugins of the Toolset suite, which should have fixed this problem.

Be sure to have a current backup available and then apply all of the Toolset updates, and then re-test.

If you still see the problem then please let me know so I can investigate.

I replaced my custom "view-generated" select box with the default, and there is still a problem.

Now it appears the "display only available options" is not functioning. Now, the list contains every parent post, and not only the available ones. Since mine are all user generated, it cannot show other users posts.

I had to go back to my script.

Hi Adam

I just had chance to re-visit this now, sorry for the delay in getting back to you but we have had a very high volume of support requests.

I re-ran my tests with the updated plugins and see that the issue with parent posts with the same name not appearing has been resolved.

Per your last comment about the setting to "display only available options" not working, I tested that and it appeared to work correctly also.

See the two attached screenshots "all" and "available".

I have 4 parent posts, Father, Father, Father, and Mother. Mother doesn't have any child posts to it.

So when I have "all" set, the dropdown shows all of the possible parent posts that I could select, i.e. every post of the parent post type.

When I have "available" set, the dropdown only shows those posts of the parent post type that have a child post assigned.

This is useful when you have several filters and you want to make a selection in one filter which then narrows down the options available in the next filter to only those which are relevant.
