Loop construction

  • I have two custom post types: Stores and Products.

    In Stores, a custom field (using Toolset Types) captures the store’s location address.

    In Products, a custom field (also using Toolset Types) captures a list of multiple store addresses where the product is available.

    I am attempting to create loops so that when the data matches…

    Store post will display related products.

    Product post will display related locations.

    I know how to set up the basic loop, but not sure how to write the fields/validation.

    Hello,

    This may be possible using [pass] to pass the location(s) and [loop] to search the other post type.

    In the page for a store..

    [pass field=location]
[loop type=product]
[if field=location value={FIELD}]
This product matches: [field title]<br>
[/if]
[/loop]
[/pass]

    From your description, the product’s location field is some type of repeater that contains multiple values? If it’s a straight-forward PHP array of values, you might be able to use [array] shortcode to loop through each value and check that instead.

    [array field=location]
[if field={VALUE} value={FIELD}]
This product matches: [field title]<br>
[/if]
[/array]
