Hi,

I am looking for some sort of conditional field solution. I have read already that those are not really available (yet). Is that still the case?

But with Pods being such a powerful tool, I would imagine there must be some doable solution available?

I have a calendar of concerts of musical compositions (Pod “performances”). And I have the respective list of those compositions (Pod “work”). (So, those two elements are related.) In the calendar, the musical compositions are linked to their single posts, featuring the detailed data from “work” Pod.

Now, on these musical works’s detail pages, I would like to also list their performances, to be exact: only those of this very piece whose detailed post is seen at the moment. So, not of all performances in general, but only of those which feature this specific work.

Is there a way? … Do I need make a new separate template?

My “Work” Pod template to display a single musical composition looks as follows:

<p>{@post_title} ({@year})<br>
for {@instrumentation}:<br>
{@duration} minutes

<p><b>PERFORMANCES:</b>

The Pod reference of “Performances” reads as follows:

ID
post_title
post_content
post_excerpt
post_author
post_date
post_date_gmt
post_status

Any idea, anyone?

Thank you very much!

P.S. Thank you, Jory Hogeveen (@keraweb), for your recent valuable advice. Everything could be solved!

I was trying to use Find, like this:
```
			
<?php

$performances = pods( 'performances' );
$params = array(

'orderby' => 'performances.concert_date DESC',
'limit' => -1,
'where' => "'performance.composition' = 'works.post_title'"
);

$performances->find( $params );

while ( $performances->fetch() ) {
echo $performances->display( 'performances' );
}

?>
```
But can PHP be used in the template at all? It appears not to work.

Yeah, I think I will not be able to fix this. Interestingly, I found the following notes by Jim True:

https://pods.io/forums/topic/how-to-conditionally-display-related-post-data-in-pods-template/

It is about using the IF tag, and that may be something for me to look into. In that example (not mine) he suggests to work with a separat template (including “where =”), and I have the feeling this could be something that may lead me to a solution. Would someone have a hint which helps me go the right path?

Hi,

So, I need to apologize for the many confusing messages. Turns out, spending those hours was absolutely worth it–and Jim True’s before mentioned advice from 2017 did the trick!

This is what he had commented to another user:

If this is a single-select, you can’t use the EACH wrapper, but you also can’t use traversal, so if you’re trying to reach DOWN into a linked record that’s linked to the one you’re currently traversing (ie data that’s linked to the linked faculty profile), you need to do that with a separate template that goes through a faculty profile and outputs what you want and is called from the current post with:

[pods name="faculty-profiles" where="employee.ID = {@ID}" template="Faculty Profile"]

And what can I say? I jut got it to work!!!

Thanks, Jim! I am sorry for this thread, when eventually I was able to figure it out on my own. Thanks for the great only resources (including the Podscast).

This thread can be marked as resolved.

Stefan
