[Plugin: Custom Field Suite] field relationship if I choose type-page on a post no ID

Hey, just so I’m understanding correctly:

You’re editing a post. Within the post edit screen, there’s a relationship field. In the relationship filter box, you’ve entered “type:page” — but no items appear in the box below to select from.

Does that sound about right?

no the items are there, I can choose “pages” –
backend is fine ??

but I see no page ID at frontend

but if I choose a “post” in backend I’ll see the ID at frontend

(at frontend or on frontend or ??… english is sometimes confusing me ;))

Ah, ok. I’ll look into this shortly.

Monika,

I’ve done some more testing and wasn’t able to reproduce the issue you’re experiencing.

Here’s a screencast with more info: https://screencast.com/t/FZiCuQkZ

hi Matt

after your screencast I’m testing this relationship field with all possibilities …

if I choose only 1 page or only 1 post => there is no ID on frontend,

if I choose 2posts or 2pages, or 1 post and 1 page=> it works

there is an absolut simple “screen” about this

so I don’t know: have I missundertood this field?

Monika,

It was in fact a bug. Great find!

The fix will be incorporated into 1.0.3. In the meantime, if you wanted to try it out, it involves changing 1 line:

custom-field-suite/core/fields/relationship.php (line 213):

Old:
$return = array($v[0]);

New:
$return = array($value[0]);

I’ll like to write an article about your plugin
and I test all plugins bevor I’m writing about them,
because my “little” texto.de is one of the german “planet” Domains and so I would like promote working plugins ??

I have time – time enough ??

I change this line and try to test more => but there are also customers with “deadlines” ;);)

thanks Matt

I still don’t understand what “field relationship” does and in what cases it can be used. I did visit the author’s website, I still don’t have a grasp. Please give me an example, thanks.

A basic example uses 2 post types: “team” and “player”.

If you want to associate players with a team, you’d use a relationship field.

For each team (post item), you’d use the relationship field to select all related players.
