I am a little confused here. Referring to the Piklist Documentation it has me setting up a post relate in this fashion:

/**
 * Title: Chapters
 * Post Type: book
 * Context: normal
 * Priority: high
 */

piklist('field', array(
  'type' => 'select'
  ,'title' => 'Chapters'
  ,'choices' => piklist(get_posts(array(
    'numberposts' => -1
    ,'post_type' => 'chapters'
  )), array('ID', 'post_title'))
  ,'relate' => array( 'scope' => 'post' )
  ,'attributes' => array( 'class' => 'multiple' )
));

First it wasn’t saving the value till I added this little tidbit that wasn’t in the docs:

,'field' => '_' . piklist::$prefix . 'relate_post'

When I ran this query as presented in the docs:

$chapters = get_posts(array(
  'post_type' => 'chapter'
  ,'numberposts' => -1
  ,'suppress_filters' => false
  ,'relate_query' => array(
    array(
      'id' => $book_id
      ,'relate' => 'belongs'
    )
  )
));

I noticed that running piklist::pre($chapters) yielded all of the chapter post types. Again I had to revert to your code above:

// Displaying your related posts is as simple as using WP_Query with one extra parameter, post_belongs
  $related = get_posts(array(
    'post_type' => 'post'
    ,'posts_per_page' => -1
    ,'post_belongs' => $post->ID
    ,'post_status' => 'publish'
    ,'suppress_filters' => false
  ));

I got it working which is great but was just curious as to why there is a disparity between the docs and what I find in these forums. Just want to assure I am not losing my mind here. Thank you for your continued support and for producing such a powerful plugin. I use this plugin EVERYWHERE.

I did something similar but using field groups inside my settings page such as:

  piklist('field', array(
    'type' => 'group'
    ,'columns' => 4
    ,'field' => 'social_identities'
    ,'label' => __('Connected Accounts', 'piklist-demo')
    ,'list' => false
    ,'description' => __('Please include your account or usernames for any social identity or platform you utilize.', 'piklist-demo')
    ,'fields' => array( 

array(
  'type' => 'text'
  ,'field' => 'setting_facebook_user_id'
   ,'columns' => 6
 ,'label' => 'Facebook® User ID'
 // ,'description' => 'Field Description'
 // ,'help' => 'This is help text.'
 // ,'value' => 'Default text'
  ,'attributes' => array(
  'class' => 'text'
  )
 ) 
 
 
, array(
  'type' => 'text'
  ,'field' => 'setting_facebook_id'
   ,'columns' => 6
 ,'label' => 'Facebook® ID'
 // ,'description' => 'Field Description'
 // ,'help' => 'This is help text.'
 // ,'value' => 'Default text'
  ,'attributes' => array(
  'class' => 'text'
  )
 )
	    

…

However when I tried to retrieve it using it on the frontend such as:

<?php 
		
	$theme_options = get_option('my_theme_settings');

  $text_field = $theme_options['setting_facebook_user_id'];

  echo $text_field ;
		
	?>

It doesn’t retrieve the a value. This is not an exact example of what I am trying to do which is to get images from a field group.

  piklist('field', array(
    'type' => 'group'
    ,'field' => 'sitewide_defaults'
    ,'label' => __('Home Page Banner', 'piklist-demo')
    ,'list' => false
    ,'description' => __('Select the images you want appearing on your frontpage banner. Please use images that are at least 1600 x 700', 'piklist-demo')
    ,'fields' => array( 
	    

array(
    'type' => 'file'
    ,'field' => 'homepage_banner_images'
     ,'columns' => 6
    ,'label' => __('Select Primary Images', 'piklist-demo')
     ,'description' => __('Try to limit your images to 4 to assure prompt page loads. More images will slow down homepage load which is bad for SEO', 'piklist-demo')
    ,'options' => array(
      'modal_title' => __('Add File(s)', 'piklist-demo')
      ,'button' => __('Add', 'piklist-demo')
    )
  )

I don’t know how to retrieve its values. I don’t see examples where field groups are used in the settings page. I use it to keep track of a variety of different site wide settings. I hope this is possible.

I was able to temporarily fix it by adding this just prior to the if (have_posts)

query_posts(array('post_type' => array('sponsor')));

Not sure this is ideal but it can do for right now. The issue is ultimately that though its set have_archive it doesn’t have anything in the $post object by default. Not sure why …

Same issues and I tried everything you stated in REPLY #1260

I setup my CPT using:

add_filter('piklist_post_types', 'sponsor_post_type');
 function sponsor_post_type($post_types)
 {
  $post_types['sponsor'] = array(
    'labels' => piklist('post_type_labels', 'Sponsor')
    ,'title' => __('Enter Sponsor Name')
    ,'public' => true
    ,'has_archive' => true
    ,'rewrite' => array(
      'slug' => 'sponsor'
    )
	    ,'supports' => array(
	      'author'
	      ,'revisions'
	      ,'title'
	      ,'editor'
	      ,'excerpt'
	      ,'thumbnail'
	      
	    )
    ,'hide_meta_box' => array(
      'revisions'
      ,'comments'
      ,'commentstatus'
    )
  );
return $post_types;
}

I have saved and re-saved the permalink setup for it to rewrite its .htaccess rules but I am still loading the index.php file with a “nothing found.” message.

Plugins have all been disabled *save for Piklist. Thanks again in advance for the help!

@Jason: I will have to test again, it didn’t work for me. Do you have a quick snippet to build off from? Perhaps link to another thread where this has been demonstrated?

Is it possible to use the new WP Query to achieve the same as the get_posts() function? Like:

 $paged = ( get_query_var('page') ) ? get_query_var('page') : 1;
  $query_args = array(
    'post_type' => 'post',
    'paged' => $paged,
    'post_has' => $post->ID,
    'suppress_filters' => false     
  );
  // create a new instance of WP_Query
  $the_query = new WP_Query( $query_args );

if ( $the_query->have_posts() ) :
while ( $the_query->have_posts() ) : $the_query->the_post();

Would prefer to use this kind of loop instead of a for_each
