Hi Waqar,

Hop;e you are well.

Ok bit of background on the problem. I have a app with various cpts. One of my cpts is contestants that will be performing at an art festival.

the next step is a item cpt where alle the items that can be entered is listed. this is where it gets but complex. The contestant must then be connected to the item. Here I did a relationship connection being a many to many. In the relationship form, I have linked the two components. This is an excruciatingly slow process as we have to call up a contestant and the item required. Here is a possible solution we have considered but not sure if it is the best solution or if you could suggest a better solution. The solution we have thought of is to auto-populate the contestant field name with the last record just used and we will then just have to find only the next item the contestant wishes to enter for.

Hi Waqar, Sorry to bother you. The message where you said I must do it with a single participant page didn't seem to have reached me. Would you be so kind as to explain it again to me quickly, please? This is where I need to link participant to various items for competition.

Hi,

Thanks for writing back.

The admin access details no longer seem to work now, but, here is what I suggested in our chat the other day.

In order to automatically select the correct "participant" to attach "items" to, you can show the form on the single "participant" page, instead of showing it on a generic independent page that you have at {yourwebsite.com}/add-contestants-to-a-item/

This is the example of a single "participant" page:
{yourwebsite.com}/participant/cred-auto-draft-7726c74b95ac858d5ccbdd91d443f0b1/

Please open the content template that is set to show a single "participant" page and add the following shortcode for the form and you'll see that the current "participant" post will be automatically selected and you'll just have to select the "item" post:


[cred-relationship-form form='connect-participant-to-item' parent_item='$current']

regards,
Waqar
