Pods Relationship Fields

Anonymous

#243589

Hi guys,

I did a search on this and noticed the question asked a few times before, with the general advice being ‘we don’t support that yet but we’re hoping to include this in V3.’ BUT I thought I would ask it again, in case you a) have an updated timeline and/or b) have any suggestions for a manual (e.g. PHP & Jquery) solution!

In short – we have two post types with a relationship field, using Pods. We are not in a position to switch to ACF on this post type as it doesn’t do some other stuff we need (Pods relationship fields really are better). We would like to have a dropdown with the labels, but it only shows the ID’s. Both post types are constantly being updated so a static list isn’t viable. Any options?

The earlier answer still stands, but V3 is coming in June (we hope, but that may flex a bit). What you need will require an extension plugin (most likely), so that may be further off, maybe not until V3.1.

Hi Jo

This is actually possible using one of our filters – are you comfortable tweaking a little PHP to put in your themes functions.php file?

Thanks

Hi Sunny

You can replace the ID’s, by post title, by adding this to functions.php:

function filter_input_object($input_object, $sfid) {
	
	if(($input_object['name'] == '_sfm_podsrelationship')) {
		
		foreach($input_object['options'] as $option) {
			$option->label = get_the_title($option->value);
		}
		
		return $input_object;
	}
	else {
		
		return $input_object;
	}
}
add_filter('sf_input_object_pre', 'filter_input_object', 10, 2);

Make sure to change the name of the field to match yours:
_sfm_podsrelationship

To find your field name, just check the URL when you do a search:

Let me know how you get on.

Thanks
