Hi there,
I currently have a relationship field called “film_filmreview” which is related to the “Post” type and has a Return Format of Post ID. I’ve currently got the selected Post ID pulling through correctly but I can’t find a way of getting the permalink from the post – is this even possible? Unfortunately, using “the_permalink” on the ID of the $selected variable just returns the URL of the page you’re on.
Below is what I have so far, put together from another Relationship-related post I found.
<?php
$selected = get_field('film_filmreview');
$selected = array_pop($selected); ?>
<?php echo $selected;
$permalink = the_permalink($selected->ID); ?>
Thanks in advance!
Sorry, I realised I must have posted that up in haste… here is the complete version with the permalink echo:
<?php
$selected = get_field('film_filmreview');
$selected = array_pop($selected); ?>
<?php echo $selected;
$permalink = the_permalink($selected->ID); ?>
</div>
<h1 style="word-break: break-word;"><?php echo $selected ?>
<?php $permalink = the_permalink($selected->ID); ?></h1>
the_permalink() cannot be used for the permalink of an arbitrary post, even though it allows you to specify a post ID.
Also, if it did it would echo the permalink, not return it.
See get_permalink()
The Relationship field provides a double-column component to select one or more posts, pages for custom post type items.
