[Resolved] Looking for a way to display CPT parent and children as an org chart

The Toolset Community Forum is closed, for technical support questions, please head on to our Toolset Professional Support (for paid clients), with any pre-sale or admin question please contact us here.

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:
How to programmatically create an Org Chart. This would be based on Parent/Children CPTs.

Solution:
Toolset does not have any such feature to create an organizational chart, this will require pure custom coding apart from listing the parent/child posts. Below are some hints:

1. First you will need to create relationship between parent/child posts and set them as one-to-many relationships.

2. And then display the relational data on a page using Views, both these are explained here in detail:

3. After that you will need to style the relational data using pure html and css. Like its built here as examples (the sample code is also provided here):

We cannot consult much on custom code as per our support policy (https://toolset.com/toolset-support-policy/) . For this, you can contact Toolset recommended service providers to further discuss the custom approach. We have some recommended list of service providers here if you would like to take a look: https://toolset.com/consultant/
