Anyone have any advice here? I’d love to get that selected option back but am not sure just how to do so.

Thanks steve, I should have been clearer. I am trying to get access to what was selected in the view as the option.

For this part:

'type' => 'select'
    ,'field' => 'update_multiple'
    ,'label' => __('Update Multiple Fields', 'piklist-demo')
     ,'choices' => piklist(
                             get_posts(array(
                                'post_type' => 'event'
                                ,'numberposts' => -1
                                ,'orderby' => 'title'
                                ,'order' => 'ASC'
                            ))
                            ,array('ID', 'post_title')
                        )

How do I get the post that was selected? Do I need to use jquery or does piklist return it somehow?

I’m actually storing urls, not ids. However, your second post makes sense. Let me play with that and get back to you.

Thanks for the response.

Bump. Any suggestions on this?

Hey Steve, sorry to drudge up this post but took some time off and just getting back to this.

How would I go about getting a list of posts related to the user on the frontend?

I’ve tried this (some code excluded for brevity):

  

    $user_id = get_current_user_id();
    $key = '__relate_post';
    $single = false;

  $user_posts = get_user_meta($user_id, $key, $single );

$related_proposals = get_posts(array(
      'post_type' => 'proposal' // Set post type you are relating to.
      ,'posts_per_page' => -1
      ,'post_belongs' => $user_id
      ,'post_status' => 'publish'
      ,'suppress_filters' => false // This must be set to false
  ));
  

  $output = '';

  if (!empty($related_proposals) ) { 
 
      $output .= '<ul>';

      foreach($related_proposals as $related_proposal) {
        $output .= '<li><a href="'.get_post_permalink($related_proposal->ID).'">'.$related_proposal->post_title.'</a></li>';
      }
      
      $output .= '</ul>';
  }

return $output

The above returns absolutely nothing.

and then I tried this:

  

    $user_id = get_current_user_id();
    $key = '__relate_post';
    $single = false;

  $user_posts = get_user_meta($user_id, $key, $single );

$related_proposals = get_posts(array(
      'post_type' => 'proposal' // Set post type you are relating to.
      ,'posts_per_page' => -1
      ,'post_belongs' => $user_posts
      ,'post_status' => 'publish'
      ,'suppress_filters' => false // This must be set to false
  ));
  

  $output = '';

  if (!empty($related_proposals) ) { 
 
      $output .= '<ul>';

      foreach($related_proposals as $related_proposal) {
        $output .= '<li><a href="'.get_post_permalink($related_proposal->ID).'">'.$related_proposal->post_title.'</a></li>';
      }
      
      $output .= '</ul>';
  }

return $output

This returns all posts for the type- not just the ones associated.

And then tried this:

  

    $user_id = get_current_user_id();
    $key = '__relate_post';
    $single = false;

  $user_posts = get_user_meta($user_id, $key, $single );

$related_proposals = get_posts(array(
      'post_type' => 'proposal' // Set post type you are relating to.
      ,'posts_per_page' => -1
      ,'include' => $user_posts
      ,'post_status' => 'publish'
      ,'suppress_filters' => false // This must be set to false
  ));
  

  $output = '';

  if (!empty($related_proposals) ) { 
 
      $output .= '<ul>';

      foreach($related_proposals as $related_proposal) {
        $output .= '<li><a href="'.get_post_permalink($related_proposal->ID).'">'.$related_proposal->post_title.'</a></li>';
      }
      
      $output .= '</ul>';
  }

return $output

and using “include” rather than post_belongs works but if there’s no ids in the array from the user meta, then all posts show up.

None of these do what I intend. I just want to show only the posts that we’ve related to the user.

You really need better docs on this relate stuff! 😉
