Post navigation using relationship field

Just now I’m using the relationship field to link artwork to an artist, when viewing the artwork I want there to be navigation, which cycles through the artwork under the same artist.

Just now I have to create a category for the artist and add each piece of artwork to the specific artist category.

Is there a way to use the relationship field to navigate between each artwork under a certain artist?

Just now my code looks like this:

<div class="navigation-prev">
	<?php  previous_post_link('%link', '<img src="/images/left.png">', TRUE); ?>
	</div><!-- End navigation prev -->

	<div class="navigation-next">
	<?php next_post_link('%link', '<img src="/images/right.png">', TRUE); ?>
	</div><!-- End navigation next -->

Hi @stevenharris

Currently, your data setup is showing 1 artwork per page. Another way to do this would be to use the repeater field to add multiple images to 1 artist page.

Hopefully, ‘artist’ is a post type and you can then create 1 artist called ‘John’ and his images to his post through the repeater field.

Then on the template, you could render out these images however you want. Perhaps a gallery, slider, lightbox?

Does this help?

Thanks
