@steve – Thanks for the quick fix/update. Updated, re-tested and Sucuri no longer reports the malware/security issue. I think it’s safe to say it’s a problem with their algorithm most likely when detecting a 500 error.

Redirect working as expected now too, thanks!!

@Steve – Ahh ok thank you, for now ill use the meta field to do queries against to get the relationships. Keep up the good work, piklist is awesome! 🙂

@Steve (and hi)

I already have the following at the top of my form:

// Where to save this form
piklist('field', array(
		'type' => 'hidden',
		'scope' => 'post',
		'field' => 'post_type',
		'value' => 'properties'
	)
);

Here is an example of my property relation on a tenant. Current the tenant is set to Jon Snow for the 1 Castle Black property. See: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/g5ko68xmlovvpuu/2016-06-08%20at%2019.44.jpg

Now when I edit the property on the frontend, and I set the tenant to Daenerys, the relation still does not get updated. However it updates from the backend just fine, but as you say that’s because the admin environment knows how to deal with it. See: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/apx87aorwe57vc9/2016-06-08%20at%2019.46.jpg

If it helps, I attached the full form php file. I can’t get the relation to update from the frontend 🙁

<?php
/*
Title: Properties
Method: post
Message: Property Saved.
Logged in: true
*/

// Get page edit value
$getEdit = $_GET['_post'];
$postID = $getEdit['ID'];

// Where to save this form
piklist('field', array(
		'type' => 'hidden',
		'scope' => 'post',
		'field' => 'post_type',
		'value' => 'properties'
	)
);
// post_status
piklist(
	'field', array(
		'scope' => 'post',
		'type'  => 'hidden',
		'field' => 'post_status',
		'value' => 'publish'
	)
);
if($postID == '') {
	// Property Owner
	piklist(
		'field', array(
			'scope' => 'post_meta',
			'type'  => 'hidden',
			'field' => '__property_owner',
			'value' => get_current_user_id()
		)
	);
}

/*************************/

	$meta_query = array(

		'meta_query'  => array(
			array(

}
piklist(

		'field'   => '_' . piklist::$prefix . 'property_tenant',
		'label'   => 'Tenant',
		'choices' => piklist(
			get_posts(

		),

	)
);

/*************************/

		'value' => $submit_label,

		)
	)
);

On the frontend form, the relation “saving” doesnt seem to work. I added a scope with post_meta as the value so that it gets saved. The relation however is not working. It only works when I save it from the backend. Is there anything special to add for relationships on a frontend form?

piklist(
	'field', array(
		'scope'      => 'post_meta',
		'type'  => 'select',
		'field' => '_' . piklist::$prefix . 'property_tenant',
		'label' => 'Tenant',
		'choices' => piklist(
			get_posts(
				array(
					'post_type'   => 'tenants',
					'numberposts' => -1,
					'meta_query'  => array(
						array(
							'key'     => '__tenant_landlord',
							'value'   => get_current_user_id(),
							'compare' => '=',
						),
					),
				)
			),
			array('ID', 'tenant_firstname')
		),
		'relate' => array(
			'scope' => 'post'
		)
	)
);

Ahh ok cool, got it now, thanks!

So then instead of __property_owner for the ‘field’, I should be using something like __relate_tenants, __relate_properties etc? Or will this always still be __relate_post?

Hi Steve, I think you misunderstood what I’m trying to do.

I have a select list like the following: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/cubjkioi629s2h3/2015-12-14%20at%2021.33.jpg

I want to make certain <options> disabled but not sure how you set an attribute per choice? The code that you’ve given above would make a whole field or select disabled.

I managed to build a workaround as per in my screenshot for getting custom taxonomies saved from the front end. But it’s a long way around to something potentially simple.

Appreciate your feedback and thoughts as always, thank you.
