Hey, I have 3 custom post types – Resorts, Apartments, Specials.
‘Apartments’ have a ‘Resort’ post object field – to load resort data onto each relevant apartment page.
‘Specials’ have a ‘Resort’ post object field – To link to each resort where a special is available.
Is there any way I can query ‘Specials’ from within ‘Apartments’ to display a list of specials on each apartment page?
I can’t add ‘Specials’ within ‘Apartments’ as a post object because there are far too many apartments for the client to manage this effectively.
Any ideas on how I can accomplish this would be much appreciated.
Cheers,
Klaye
Never mind, we’ve decided to select apartments from within the specials post type.
For anyone looking for something similar in the future, this is one way to do this
<?php
// displaying apartment(s)
while(have_posts()) {
the_post();
// display other information about the apartment
// get post ID of resort from apartment page
// assumes post object field does not allow multiple
$resort = get_field('resort', false, false);
// query specials post type for same resort
// again, assumes post object field does not allow multiple
$args = array(
'post_type' => 'special',
'posts_per_page' => -1,
'meta_query' => array(
'key' => 'resort',
'value' => $resort
)
);
$resort_query = WP_Query($args);
if ($resort_query->have_posts()) {
while($resort->have_posts()) {
$resort_query->the_post();
// display information about special
} // end while
wp_reset_post_data();
} // end if have_posts
// possibly show more info about apartment after special query
} // while have posts
?>
