Problem:
How do I query data from Parent posts into Views being generated by Child posts?
I’m still trying to figure out how to display Product URL data conditional on the Product parent of the current Excerpt child.
The View display logic is like this:
1) get the Product parent of the current Excerpt child.
2) get the Product URL children of that parent Product.
3) get the Retailer parents of those Product URL children.
4) combine data from these sources and display in the View.
Where and how in Toolset do I build this conditional logic?
Solution:
I would suggest to change the relation between your CPT as follows:
In your case, we need to get data in this way. Excerpt >> to Product >> then product to Product URL and Retailer as follows:
Excerpt >> Product >> Product URL + Retailer
So that we need to update relation like this.
ProductURL..............Retailer [ 2 parents ]
|..........|..............|
|.........Product [ 1 intermediate child of both Product URL & Retailer ]
…………|
…….Excerpt [ 1 child of Product ]
- Then on Excerpt View1 we can get product data.
- And on Product View2 we can get Product URL and Retailer Data.
Alternatively, I suggest to make this setup bit less complex, so its easier for you to get and display Product URL, one way to do that is by adding ProductURL as custom field inside products or any other CPT, this way you will have one less CPT relation and it will most likely make it easier to display.
Problem: I would like to wrap a row in my Layout using another tag.
Solution: There isn't a good way to do this. You can add to the contents of your row and target those contents with CSS, or you can modify the row type settings, or you can try DOM manipulation with JavaScript, but the most likely answer is you can use CSS.
Problem: How can I change a post to be a different post type? Do I have to recreate the post?
Solution: You can recreate the post, or you can modify the 'post_type' value for each post in your database to match the slug of the desired post type.
