I have pages with a dropdown list containing 3 choices.
These 3 choices defines the type of the page, and I’m listing out the different types each in their own relationship field.
The pages have a parent – child relationship in the page structure, like this:
type1
|--type2
| |--type3
|--type2
|--type2
|--type2
| |--type3
type1
|--type2
...
Basically, in the page structure, type 1 is the grandparent, type 2 the parent, and type 3 is the child.
This is what I am doing now on the acf/fields/relationship/query/name= event:
function filter( $args, $field, $post_id ) {
$args['post_type'] = 'myposttype';
$args['meta_query'] = array(
array(
'key' => '_type', // The name of the dropdown with the types
'value' => 'type2', // The value selected in the dropdown
'compare' => '='
)
);
return $args;
}
// filter for every field
add_filter('acf/fields/relationship/query/name=relationship_field', 'filter', 10, 3);
Here I want to get all pages with the _type dropdown set to type2.
And it works, sort of.
The problem is when a page is in the grandparent place in the hierarchy, but its type is set to type2, in stead of type1.
Like this:
|-type1
| |--type2
| | |--type3
| |--type2
| |--type2
| |--type2
| | |--type3
|-type2
|-type1
|--type2
...
Here the type2 towards the bottom is in the grandparent place.
What happens then is that the relationship fields which gets all pages with the _type dropdown set to type2 only returns the grandparent type2, and leaves out all the rest.
It is like the acf/fields/relationship/query/name filter only returns the hits on the outmost level in the page hierarchy.
If I changed the grandparent type2 to type1, it would correctly return all the type2 pages from the parent position in the structure.
Can anyone help?
I just want all the pages where _type is set to type2 to be listed out in a relationship field. I’ve tried to create my own WP_Query like this:
$a = new \WP_Query([
'post_type' => 'myposttype',
'meta_query' => array(
array(
'key' => '_type',
'value' => 'type2',
'compare' => '='
)
)
]);
var_dump($a->posts);
This returns correctly, so it seems like ACF is doing something to alter the results.
