I am trying to:
I have created a role ("Owner") and 2 custom post types, “properties” and “POIs”, where each POI has a property for parent. Every Owner has some properties, and every property has POIs linked to it with parent-child relationship.
I expected to see:
When an owner edits a POI, she expects to pick a parent property from a list limited to her own ones, not the ones of other owners.
Instead, I got:
A user is asked, through the “Post Relationship” section and the respective drop-down, to choose one of all users’ properties, not only her own.
To limit the list of parent posts requires custom code, but it is possible that custom code that works now will need changing, so I'm consulting with the developers about best practices about this particular issue before I give you any advice which could change in a matter of weeks.
(I'm also pushing a non-code solution for this, but I don't know yet whether we might have that in time for the relationship switch over.)
I'll be in touch as soon as I am confident about the advice I give you.
So, does this mean that the info given to me by Beda in the link above was not accurate? Because, as shown in that thread, the key reason for me buying Toolset was because of this feature. If I was to deal with code in order to improve the Access plugin, I would certainly go with a similar but free plugin and give the code to the community.
I am not saying that Toolset does not reach the value of the money I gave, but if I had good information about this feature I would certainly invest my money/time somewhere else.
It has always been the case that to limit the parents in some way—e.g. to only the user's own posts—has required custom code to work.
The developers have accepted a request to include such a feature, but right now I don't know what form that will take, or when it will be available, but I will keep pushing for it to be included with the final production versions of the new Types, Views, and CRED.
I haven't forgotten about you. I've spoken with the developers a couple of times and they have asked for a little time to complete some work before making any recommendations about how to go about this.
I decided to go with an external developer to solve my problem. This means that your product, which is of course very good, have no real use for me right now, so buying them was really a bad move based on inaccurate information.
Is there a procedure inside your company for clients to follow in order to claim their money back?
