Populating select with posts objects

Hi @marcopanichi,

To create a relationship between your “Driver” and “Auto” custom post types, allowing you to select a car when creating or editing a driver post, you would typically need to do some custom coding.

Hope this information will help.

Regards!

I solved, client side, using jQuery.

This is the structure of the code I used, I hope it helps someone:

add_action('wp_footer', 'my_custom_select');
function my_custom_select()
{
	$posts = new WP_Query(array(
		...
	));

	$options = '';
	if( $posts->have_posts() )
	{
		while( $posts->have_posts() )
		{
			$posts->the_post();
			$options .= "field.append($('<option>').attr('value', '".get_the_ID()."').text(\"".get_the_title()."\"))\r\n";
		}
	}
	wp_reset_postdata();
	
	echo "<script type='text/javascript'>
		jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
			var field = $('#my_custom_select');
			field.empty();
			field.append($('<option>').attr('value', '-1').text(\"- select -\"))
			$options
		});
	</script>";
	}
}
