      I was wondering if it is possible to use a field-relate (shown as select) in an add-more.

      I would like to have the layout of the advanced relate but instead of creating new posts,
      I would like to pull in existing posts from another post type with a select type field.

      Thanks,
      Irene

      @irene– Not sure if you need a relate field for this. We have something similar in the Piklist demos:

      Add new Demo > Add more’s Tab > Two levels sub tab > “Content Section (Grouped)” field.

      Check it out and let me know if it works for you.

      Hello Steve,
      Maybe I could use that…
      Thinking and re-thinking…
      Hope I can explain…
      I have 2 cpt’s
      1. Dogs
      2. Litters
      In the Dogs CPT all dogs are entered (bitches, dogs and pups with category male ore female
      In the Litters cpt, create a new litter => Choose dam, from dogs-cpt, category female
      Choose sire, from dogs-cpt, category male
      These 2 form the parents.
      Then below that the pups (children, need to be related to dam and sire, and are siblings. These pups are also coming from Dogs cpt- resp, female or male….

      I can not find anywhere if when I use an add more the items chosen are directly related to the post.
      New to all this but willing to learn 🙂
      Hope you can follow me and if you can advise me on how to achieve this…

      Thanks,
      Irene

      Excuse me for bothering you again…
      Trying to get the following:
      I would like to render the selected post on the post edit page and used the following

      /*
Title: Nest Informatie
Post Type: nesten
Status: auto-draft
Collapse: false
Meta box: false
*/

piklist('field', array(
	'type' => 'group'
   ,'template' => 'field'
  
   ,'fields' => array(
    
	
	array(
  'type' => 'select'
  ,'field' => 'sire'
  ,'label' => 'Sire:'
  ,'columns' => 6
  ,'choices' => piklist(
  					get_posts(
					   array(
  	    'sort_order' => 'ASC'
	   ,'post_type' => 'hond'
	   ,'post_status' => 'publish'
	   ,'tax_query' => array(
		array(
			'taxonomy' => 'geslacht'
			,'field'   => 'slug'
			,'terms'   => 'reu'  ))
    )
	 ,'objects'
	)
	
	
	,array(
      'ID'
      ,'post_title')
  
  ) )

      and the following on the next page:

      /*
Title: edit nesten
Post Type: nesten
Status: publish
Collapse: false
Meta box: false
*/
?>
<?php $value_sire=get_post_meta(get_the_ID(), 'sire', true);
			$sire_post_id= $value_sire['ID'];
			$sire_permalink= get_permalink($sire_post_id);
			$sire_name= get_post_meta($sire_post_id, 'sire',true);
			?>
            
            <ul>
            <li> <a href=" <?php echo $sire_permalink; ?>" <?php echo $sire_name; ?></a></li>
            </ul>

      Both nothing shows up on the second page… I am missing something…

      Have been reading this post select-box-for-displaying-posts but can not figure it out…

      @irene– I’m not sure I understand the questions. Can you post screenshots of the pages you want to show this data on?
