adding the wp_reset_postdata() function after the loop fixed it for me.

Yes, I was thinking the same thing, but thought it would be a good feature to mention. One I may be thinking myself out of.

The need to have a generalized approach with any relation does make it much more difficult to implement. A solution might be to provide a multi-value Relation type Form Element that defines 2 selects: one for the participant list and another for the relation. I suppose you would also need to decide if you wanted data integrity, and I wonder if the typical administrator would be able to generate meaningful reports based on the fields. The typical use may be limited to hyperlinks to the related Participants, and probably one-way links at that due to processing needs.

When I get to the point I need to implement this feature I plan on using your first and third suggestion by using ajax to populate a multi-value select with the relation’s id and name, then overlay it with a jquery autocomplete. That way I can leave your plugin unmodified.

I brought it up because I thought it might be useful for mapping groups of participants who are related by family or group. I am also interested in tracking who inspired others to join an organization and who may be mentoring them.

In my specific case I have parents and minors both qualified to volunteer who I would like to associate together from within the module, but have resorted to looking up a parent’s unique id from one browser tab and copying it into a relation field stored in the Participants Database.

Yes, I’ve been using that and have either been creating private event posts or requiring special privileges to view the ‘private’ events, but that gets tedious since I’m not on-site to configure new events.

Existing shortcodes work well to setup initial views, but can be overridden form the interface by end users. If you select a list of 3 of 6 categories to view from the shortcode, the end user can still select to view the 3 you initially filter out.
