Few Examples of Program Post like

Maths

Biology ---Cats

English------>PoetryDay

Create a Relationship between Certain Program with Certain Events


in a Homepage we made Custom Post PoetryDay and we associate English Program
Sci Cats Events realte with the Biology Program

Once we Established a relationships Between Once Post with another

then its piece of Cake to Create Html Links


visitoras can hop back and forth all of the related between the Content

Before Creating Relation First we Will


Create Brand New Custom Post type Program

in ur text instead of Theme Folder Go to mu folder


their we create php file
you will see register our Event Post Type
so it very easy for us to now create anothe Custom Post type

e can literally copy and paste this code except function header line
select from register from very beginning to ending semi colon
copy drop new line

php comment

//program type

paste ur code after two close braces semicolon and before last curly braces

type this line ans change some key Values


register_post_type(event

//Program Post Type

register_post_type('program', array(
'rewrite' => array('slug' => 'programs'),
'has_archive' => true,
'public' => true,
'labels' => array(
'name' => 'Programs',
'add_new_item' => 'Add New Program',
'edit_item' => 'Edit Event',
'all_items' => 'All Programs',
'singular_name' => 'Program'
),
'menu_icon' => 'dashicons-awards',
'supports' => array('title', 'editor', /*'excerpt',*/ /*'custom-fields'*/),
));

Create Dammy 3 or 4 Sample Program

Math English Biology

clck permalonk to preview the newly create program posts

we didnt see any Content and if you see on the tab its Apge not Found

The Problem Here is We Just Register a New Post type in our mu folder

thats uses new url or permalink structure

so all we need to is to fix is tell the wordpress to


updates is permalink
in the admin so go to settings click Permalink and simply click Save Changes
and it will force wordpress to regenerate all of its permalink for urls
and as soon as we did that refresh the biology posts
we have a screen with English post and its main content view

at the moment this post is using Generic Blog Post Template


because we can see the link here back to the BLog Home
and the screen is powerd by single.php

but we will created ad edicated Template File

just for Individual Program Post

Go to Theme Folder and Createa FIle named single-program.php


copy all the code from single-event.php as a guide or starting point to this newly
created some File and do some tweak

customize meta div

however

our all program isusing genric listing Style


this style best soothed for Blog Post but
we dont care in the progra who the post creator and its data

and so as we know that this all program url is powere by genric archive.php

so we will create a new file is only responsible for program


archive
relationship

event post have custom field with relate program option

and in front end its show related program biology and if you tick that it will tske
you biology program

and in each section says upcoming biology events

the key here is we need to create custom field

thats help you to pick which post you have to relate with the current post u
areeditibg

click create custom fields icon in the sidebar


create a new field named Related Program
click add field
named it
s for add more programs
Related Program(s)

required no
field tye relationship

post type option choose program

set everthing else default

scroll down further to location box whic is super important

show this field group if

post type = event


click publiush

how we use custom field value of our front end of our websites

Displaying Relation ship on to the FrontEnd Of Our Webistes


for Example if we go to our Homepage we see The SCi of Cats event post

an di f click on it and then i used edit event button at the Top Menu Bar
you will new Custom Field Option Relation Program Option appaear
you make raltion with Biology Program
so our next task is how do we display our Relation ship on Front End

so if we go back to Sci of Cats Detailed Screen


how could we out put with the Content Down here
reads Related Programs
then have a link to Biology Program

go to the theme folder


singleevent.php file

go to the bottom insert this code within the DIv of Generic Content

drop down the php tag


make a new use a dollar sighn variable named relatedPrograms
equal to result get field function
then give custom field name we want to retreive
which u get from the field group having field which have a name

saving avalue of the field in the variable

now what object we decide to resides inside the variable


string array
down on the next line

//print_r($relatedPrograms): give output the data type

array all sortof values contains


loop through the array do something once for each item

<?php

$relatedPrograms = get_field('related_programs');

if ($relatedPrograms) {
echo '<hr class="section-break">';
echo '<h2 class="headline headline--medium">Related Program(s)</h2>';
echo '<ul class="link-list min-list">';
foreach($relatedPrograms as $program) { ?>
<li><a href="<?php echo get_the_permalink($program); ?>"><?php echo
get_the_title($program); ?></a></li>
<?php }
echo '</ul>';
}

?>
