How to Connect Relation Items Using Forms | JetEngine & JetFormBuilder

#jetengine #jetformbuilder #wordpressrelationships
Let’s learn how to connect relation items via forms and use frontend form submission functionality to update those WordPress relationships.
💡 Tip. Enable Dynamic Visibility module in JetEngine modules settings to showcase the following form to the particular users.
◼️ Define the Parent and Child objects to configure the One-to-many relationships
◼️ Build a form for relations to connect Tours and Countries CPTs
◼️ Customize the form to match the website’s design and set Post Submit Actions
◼️ Add the newly created form to a target webpage to assign Countries to Tours tight on the frontend
◼️ Set dynamic visibility to show the form only to particular categories of the users

My suggestion: Before starting the tutorial you should show first the END RESULT. So viewer can understand what you are gonna do in this video. After showing the END RESULT then you cant start tutorial. Thanks

[@bwr0172]

how come when you try to edit the option (like want to change or update your selection) in the edit form it doesn't show the checkbox with the already mark options... in edit/update mode the checkboxes are empty so you cant see what was already related in the post?? how to get this visual to see?? all other fields are visual only not the related item(s).. thanks

[@robertcushman9273]

what about the legacy form builder, why have you stopped supporting that product? It no longer shows error messages for multistep forms on required fields. We loved this simple front-end tool. Can you comment?

Hey! I'd need some support with the dynamic function in the booking form. I have a listing for 3 countries but when opening one country page the booking form keeps showing ALL the locations I have set on the site instead of dynamically pulling the options for that specific country....I have created CPT to CPT relations. Thank you in advance!

[@HYP3RN0V4S]

I agree with @Gustavo... This man is on point! Please make tutorials about query builder and charts builder! It feels like they are VERY powerful features but there is VERY limited information on how to use them.

Hi! I fail to list the meta field of a relation in the form, nor does it seems I can display the meta field of a relation on a page(by using dynamic field widget). Is it my problem or is it not currently possible? BTW, thank you for all the amazing plugins.

[@cmcare3180]

For instance, a tour(child post) is related to a country(parent post) under the type of a boat trip(relation meta field), how do I display this relation meta field on a page? I tried the dynamic field widget, but it can't "find" that meta field.

[@Crocoblock]

[@atlantagrindproductions934]

Hi, I'm also trying to do this. Crocoblock told me there is no way to edit/create the relation meta data from the front end form. To do so, we'd have to recreate the relationship structure manually. My guess is using CCT to define the relationship and building custom SQL queries in query builder. Definitely disappointing. For anyone wondering my use case: I have a CPT (project) that shows a custom CCT (common tasks) list in a table using a many to many relationship. The relation meta is used to assign a number for custom sorting. So 2 CPT's can share many of the same CCT but the CCT must list in a different order for each CPT. It all works fine via the admin but it's cumbersome/unattractive for users to edit. And they need to edit other things about the CPT where multiple forms would be required alongside this form.

[@onlinelocalmarketing7356]

This was helpful, but it leaves me with a question. What if there was a frontend form to create the child? In this case, you can have the parent id, but you do not have the child id. Why? Because the child id does not exist until it is created. So, can we create a child item AND connect it to the parent on one form?

Please advise When you say additional meta fields can be added when you create the relationship would these be a mix of meta fields from the post types or new meta fields ?? Hope you all safe

Hi Kate and the Crocoblock team, Comparing Kate and Julia's videos, Kate's videos are a lot easier to understand than Julia's videos because Kate's enunciation of words in English is clearer. Please Kate, do all the Crocoblock videos, or ask Paul from WPTuts to do more videos for you. Best wishes, Patrick

Can we connect multiple posts to the relation from the form using a repeater as I have huge list of posts in queried posts

[@anuragcreatives]

I have a post type for manufacturers and medicines. I have created a parent to child relation as many to many. I am trying to add medicines to the manufacturers with a select field in the jet forms. But I am able to multi-select or use a repeater to add multiple medicines to the manufacturer.

[@dorelys28]

Great!! Is it possible to create several relations (one to many) in the same form??

You can add a few actions Connect Relation Items. It should work correctly with the right settings 😉

[@arhamjaved8990]

I've created a relationship between Post types (CPT) A and B. However, how can I show parent post information on the child post detail page? Please respond to my questions as soon as you can!

[@Crocoblock]

Hi! You need to display posts on the needed page with the Listing Grid widget and choose the %related_parents_from|post-type-slug% macros in the Include posts by IDs field. The macro code depends on the relations between the posts, as well as the type of post template you are working with. Please, also check our tutorial on this topic crocoblock.com/knowledge-base/articles/how-to-choose-the-needed-post-relations-and-set-them-with-jetengine-plugin/

[@HadeeRoslan]

Thanks for the tutorial. Ok.. I've tried adding the relations thing to a post creation form. It works. Just add the Connect Relations after Insert/Update Post Submit Actions. I can add children to the parent when creating a parent. Cool. However, is there a way to limit the list of children only to those that does not have a parent? It's a one to many relation. So the list should only display children with no parent. At the moment, the list of children displays all child - even those that already have a parent. If I were to pick a child of another parent, then the parent will lose the child connection as the child is now connected to the new parent. Thanks ..

But I’m a bit confused as an administrator, what is the main purpose of inserting the jet form requiring to select country😅as obviously Wonderful Poland tour belongs to Poland country. Mean if without placing the form and have submit action, country and tour cannot be connected? My website is connecting tradesmen and homeowners while set Jobs as CPT and single job detail page, mean at homeowners logged in page, I also need insert list of tradesmen and allow current homeowner to choose the best tradesman? Also should set Tradesmen and homeowners as CPT or user?

It would be nice if it had a better UI option. I think checkbox is not a good option. I wish in the future there was a search field, like ACF

[@Crocoblock]

Could you please provide me with an example of what you would like to create?

[@RooViieira]

​@@Crocoblock I have a large list of options to select and list in the form, so a select or checkbox field is not the best solution, in my opinion, the list is too big. I'm trying to create an LMS from scratch, where the course author selects which lessons are linked to a course topic. A search field would be interesting, where you type the relation you want to link (it will appear with ajax) and select which ones you need. After selecting it, it will be linked in a field, with a delete button, in case you added a relation by mistake.

[@Crocoblock]

@@RooViieira Right at the moment, this option isn't available. Please, feel free to submit a feature request to Git repository github.com/CrocoBlock/suggestions and our team will explore if it's possible to implement.
