[Plugin: Posts 2 Posts] shortcodes example for connected post of connected post

Hi Scribu,

I’ve got a similar case of that entry :

http://ww.wp.xz.cn/support/topic/plugin-posts-2-posts-get-connected-posts-of-connected-posts?replies=7

Let’s say that I got :

– A Training module
— linked to Chapters
— linked to Courses

Sometimes I need to use it in a Widget Sidebar (as a menu for that Training module), and sometimes in a display of page.

But I’m interested to manipulate it through shortcodes.

And for the display of the page, as I work with the WP-VIEWS templating system, I need to paste shortcodes.

Question: if you’re available for that kind of works, I could pay you of course. I could give you my email address if you want to.

Regards,

François

Sorry, I am not interested in freelance work at this time.

Note that there already is a P2P widget and that you can manipulate both the widget and the shortcode output through a filter:

(Make sure you’re on the latest dev version – 1.3-alpha3)

Hi Scribu,

I’m maybe stupid, but I can’t figure out how to use your code in the link above.

I’ve made a page : p2p-list-contacts_to_companies.php

Your fonction to add the filter is inserted in the functions.php template just below the connexion description to register the relationship.

And when I try to display the shortcode, this is always the default view that is displayed and the not the filter.

<h2>P2P Connected</h2>
[p2p_connected type=contacts_to_companies]

<h2>P2P related (OL)</h2>
[p2p_related type=contacts_to_companies mode=ol]

Do I miss something, or place the code on the wrong templates?

Thank you for your help.

After this line:
```
$template = locate_template( 'p2p-list-' . $ctype->name . '.php' );
```
add
```
var_dump( $template );
```
Also, are you sure you have the latest dev version?

Thank you for your answer.

yes for the latest dev version => Version 1.3-alpha2

With WP-DUBUG, I’ve got those messages:

Warning: Can’t determine direction for ‘contacts_to_societes’ type. in /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/prospection/wp-content/plugins/posts-to-posts/core/type.php on line 99

Fatal error: Call to a member function render() on a non-object in /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/prospection/wp-content/plugins/posts-to-posts/core/shortcodes.php on line 48

Here is my code in functions.php : http://pastebin.com/NqkFep9x

And the template filter (p2p-list-contacts_to_societes.php) contains your sample:
```
<div>
  <?php the_post_thumbnail(); ?>
  <a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a>
</div
```
Thank you for your time.

There’s one more piece of the puzzle: where are you inserting the shortcode?

It uses the $post global to get the list of connected items.

Also, the latest dev version is 1.3-alpha3.

Ok things are different with the latest 1.3-alpha3 🙂 but there’s still a warning … string(111)

Place where shortcode was inserted

On Template for Custom Post linked ( contact, societe ), it always displays the “standard” view of the shortcode (with 1.3-alpha2). It changes now with 1.3-alpha3

I got something like this (1.3-alpha2)

https://skitch.com/francoislamotte/8i23e/post2post-shortcode-filter-problem

And it was my fault (for the errors above) to insert the shortcode in a POST. As I was searching why the FILTER was not loading, I’ve tried this without thinking about the logic of the code (which object was loaded, …) 😛

NOW WITH THE 1.3-alpha3

The filter template is well loaded/parsed but I get a warning (WP-Debug) and an HTML tag is missing.

The alert message

string(111) “/…/wp-content/themes/wpbootstrap-lessified/p2p-list-contacts_to_societes.php” string(111) “/Applications/MAMP/htdocs/prospection/wp-content/themes/wpbootstrap-lessified/p2p-list-contacts_to_societes.php”

And the template (shortcodes) looks like :

<h2>Profil Contact</h2>
1. Nom: [types field=”nom”][/types]
2. Prénom: [types field=”prenom”][/types]
3. Titre: [types field=”titre”][/types]
<h2>P2P Connected</h2>

[p2p_connected type=contacts_to_societes]

<h2>P2P related (OL)</h2>

[p2p_related type=contacts_to_societes mode=ol]

https://skitch.com/francoislamotte/8i3d6/shortcode-template

The second shortcode has a h2 header that is missing in the display.

The display looks like :

https://skitch.com/francoislamotte/8i3rx/shortcode-display

The Filter code :
```
<br />
<div><br />
   <h3>This comes from the <strong>FILTER</strong></h3><br />
  <?php the_title(); ?><br /> # with links
</div</p>
<p>
```

Ok, so it works. The “warning” is from the var_dump(), which you can remove now.
