Additional feedback: It’s not possible for me to have repeated events working properly unless I have recurring events. If I remove recurring events the drop down for the event type diseappers off the screen front end, so there’s no way to pick single or repeat. If I have both recurring and repeat, there it is again back in place.

I won’t want recurring events and repeated events as it’s overkill and confusing in my use case, so to keep things how they were, I need only repeated events. For now I will have to have both active and then just try to hide the option in the front end submission form.

Kind regards

It’s smooth scroll in the performance section I think, turning it off seems to have fixed it….

Hi again, I tried to upload this version, unfortunately it says plugin couldn’t be activated as it triggered a fatal error

This seems to be resolved now! Here’s what worked for me 🙂
Thank you!

$pods = pods( 'product', $product->ID );
// Specify which fields to show.
$params = array( 'fields_only' => true, 'fields' => array('whats_onz') );
// Output the form.
echo $pods->form( $params );

I”m also now trying to add the form by using do_shortcode, like this:

echo do_shortcode( ‘ [pods template=”form”] ‘ );?>

– in my php template for the dashboard that my users use to edit products, calling a pods template, in which I have a form shortcode:

[pods form=”1″ name=”product” fields=”whats_onz” not_found=”Nothing saved here yet…”]

But unfortunately I’m still getting the same result, the form is appearing as I would expect to see it, and I can choose from users, but there is a perpetual spinning loader and error message which comes up from the start (ie before I submit anything, in this case) above the form, to say: “Content, title, and excerpt are empty.”

I can select options but they do not save. It works fine in the back end though.

Can you think of anything that could be causing this? I’d love to get it working!

Kind regards

Hi, I apologise in advance, but unfortunately I think I’m making more of a mess the longer I look at this, because I’m coming up with some strange behaviours!

I’m thinking I should try to explain from the start, and then you might spot something I’ve missed or that I’m doing wrong 🙂

I will also show my settings in the product field in pods admin, in case I’ve done something obvious incorrectly!

So here goes: the aim is to make it possible for user role ‘vendor’ to choose in a form, from other users, and select them to appear on the product page.

I have my CPT ‘product’ (thanks to woocommerce) and then I’ve extended this in pods admin with some fields, i’ve got this working fine for date fields, and an image field, but not for this relationship field.

My relationship field is called whats_onz and I am trying to use it to relate products to users. Using this field, the idea is that my front end user can enter their front end ‘edit product’ form, and I will have added to that form, the facility to select from a multi-select form, some users to display on their product page. I am trying to achieve this with pods’ own forms.

So I’ve got two jobs –
Job 1 – To add a form to my edit product page via which the vendor can choose from any user to display (I know I can limit the roles in the field GUI in pods admin). The form should save selections from Add New and future Edits, and display those as selected options in the multi select field

Job 2 – To display selections on the front end of the product single page as links to the chosen author pages with the name and avatar.

Job 1, adding the form…. I’ve done this with the following code (below) and the form appears exactly as I would expect, as a multi select box, and the user roles I want vendors to choose from can be selected, by their user_nicename as I have set in product pods admin for the field. However, there is a loading spinner that starts as soon as the page renders, before you’ve touched into the multi select to select something. The spinner appears and just stays on. You can select your users, and they appear in the form with the little cross next to them as chosen options in the multi select, but then after saving, it’s all gone again front end, the multi select form is blank again. Although not back end, the changes always appear fine there. I thought of a workaround to just list the existing chosen options below the form if I couldn’t get the form to open in ‘edit’ as populated, but I realise that would of course be a bit clumsy, I couldn’t get it working anyway (see below).

Also, after saving, an error message appears at the bottom of the page to say “Content, title, and excerpt are empty.”

          <?php

$pod = pods( 'product', $id );


$fields = array( 'whats_onz');

echo $pod->form( $fields );

    ?>

I wonder if I have something wrong in my settings because even a basic code to display just linked avatars (Job 2 above) isn’t working, as follows: (The result I get for this code on the page is just two bullet points).

$terms = wp_get_post_terms( $post->ID, 'whats_onz', array( 'fields' => 'all' ) );
$count = count( $terms );

if ( $count > 0 ) {
    echo '<h3>What\'s On:</h3><ul>';

    foreach ( $terms as $term ) {
        printf(
            '<li><a href="%s" title="%s" alt="%s">%s</a></li>',
            esc_url( get_term_link( $term ) ),
            esc_attr( sprintf( __( 'View all listings with the category %s', 'use_a_real_domain_or_dont_localize' ), $term->name ) ),
            esc_attr( sprintf( __( 'View all listings with the category %s', 'use_a_real_domain_or_dont_localize' ), $term->name ) ),
            esc_html( $term->name )
        );
    }

    echo '</ul><br/>';
}

In my settings for the whats_onz field in product pods admin I’ve got:

FIELD DETAILS
Name = whats_onz
Field Type = relationship
Related Type = users
Bi Directional field = whats_on1 [pod: user]

RELATIONSHIP OPTIONS
Selection Type = Multiple Select
Input Type = Auto Complete
Display Format = Item 1, Item 2 and Item 3
Allow Add New = Yes
Taggable = Yes
Show Edit Links = Yes
Show View Links = Yes
Selection Limits = 0
Display Field In Selection List = {@user_nicename}
Limit List By Roles = Yes I’ve selected some roles
The rest is empty …

ADVANCED
All left empty

CONDITIONAL LOGIC
All left empty

REST API
All left empty

Thanks
