   Hi Matt
   Field Relationship

   I have a "suite" for posts, and if I choose there a page => field relationship type:page

   it returns no ID

   but if I choose a post => (type:posts) it returns the ID of the choosen post or posts

   I'm using this code to return the ID

   Hey, just so I'm understanding correctly:

   You're editing a post. Within the post edit screen, there's a relationship field. In the relationship filter box, you've entered "type:page" -- but no items appear in the box below to select from.

   Does that sound about right?

   no the items are there, I can choose "pages" -
   backend is fine ;)

   but I see no page ID at frontend

   but if I choose a "post" in backend I'll see the ID at frontend

   (at frontend or on frontend or ??... english is sometimes confusing me ;))

   Monika,

   I've done some more testing and wasn't able to reproduce the issue you're experiencing.

   Here's a screencast with more info: http://screencast.com/t/FZiCuQkZ

   hi Matt

   after your screencast I'm testing this relationship field with all possibilities ...

   if I choose only 1 page or only 1 post => there is no ID on frontend,

   if I choose 2posts or 2pages, or 1 post and 1 page=> it works

   there is an absolut simple "screen" about this

   so I don't know: have I missundertood this field?

   Monika,

   It was in fact a bug. Great find!

   The fix will be incorporated into 1.0.3. In the meantime, if you wanted to try it out, it involves changing 1 line:

   custom-field-suite/core/fields/relationship.php (line 213):

   Old:
   $return = array($v[0]);

   New:
   $return = array($value[0]);

   I'll like to write an article about your plugin
   and I test all plugins bevor I'm writing about them,
   because my "little" texto.de is one of the german "planet" Domains and so I would like promote working plugins ;)

   I have time - time enough ;)

   I change this line and try to test more => but there are also customers with "deadlines" ;);)

   thanks Matt

   I still don't understand what "field relationship" does and in what cases it can be used. I did visit the author's website, I still don't have a grasp. Please give me an example, thanks.

    A basic example uses 2 post types: "team" and "player".

    If you want to associate players with a team, you'd use a relationship field.

    For each team (post item), you'd use the relationship field to select all related players.
