I've got 2 CPTs called 'Members' and 'Committees'. I add members to the committees using a Relationship ACF field and I can query and reverse query on their respective pages.
My issue is when I try to use FacetWP filters to try and sort Members by their Committees. Since the committees are not added to the members this filtering is not possible as of yet.
What I'm trying to do now is to add rows/update rows of a repeater field in the Members CPT which will add the committee name when the committee is saved.
The basic idea is this:
User creates/edits a Committee and chooses its Members using the relationship field.
On Committee post save/update, using acf/save_post action the committee name is captured and a repeater field in the Members post type gets added with a new row using the add_row function.
Would someone have an idea about how to do this? Thank you.

I have two tables in my database..one is candidates_details and another one is users..in the users table i have two types of users one is vendor and another one is user..they both have same user_id column...and i have that user_id column in my candidates_details table..
So what i want to do is when vendor post candidate_details by using form ..i want to store that user_id
(where user_type_id=1)
in candidates_details table automatically..
Can anyone help me..Thanks in advance..
Let me help you out by giving a pictorial example. Assume you have two tables users and candidate_details. In users you are keeping record of all the registered users along with their types. In Candidate Details you are keeping their profile data. You create another table where you keep user types Be it vendor, contractor, supplier etc.
Now when you create your form to post data in your admin panel or which ever interface you have. Just create a dropdown for user_types, get the type id and add the user. With the type id in your users table you can easily query which type of user that is.
Now for saving that user's profile information in candidate_details table you only have to provide user_id. So creating one more table will normalize your db schema and saves a lot of hustle in your query building.
I need help. I am designing a library DB in Access and I am having some trouble with the book reservation and loan forms.
I have the following tables:
librarymember (LibraryMemberNumber is auto generate number PK)
BookReservation (ReservationNumber is autogenerate, datetime stamp and librarymember as FK to librarymember PK)
BookReservationDetail (ReservationNumber, ISBN, NOtified, cancelled and completed check box fields)
Books (ISBN as PK, Title etc)
My query is as per image below:
main query image
I can generate new records in the table but I want to generate new records in the form. I have set the data entry property to yes but when I select the field box and try to enter in a library member ID it throws an error letting me know that it cannot be edited as it is bound to the expression librarymembernumber. I just want the form to show only a new record, type the library number in, and the form to generate the next reservation number. Is this possible?
Here you have 3 entities, all one-to-many: Library Member, Book Reservation Header and Book Reservation Details. You are trying to create two entities at the same time in the same line of form, it's impossible for one-to-many relations.
You have at least two ways for resolution:
Keep existing Book Reservation form, remove Library Member from base query, Library Member FK convert to combobox and select Member using this combobox. For creating/editing of Library Members create a separate form
Create editing form for Library Member, as subform use form for editing Book Reservation, which has Reservation Details as a subform, so, you will have 3 tier form.
I would use variant #1, it's easier to implement and use. For Members editing add a command button.
From another question of mine:
What I need to achieve is this: Create multiple categories with their
own designated information fields (ie. Cars have different fields from
Pets) and once such a category is created, the commands I need will be
invoked and a new table for each category will be made. I know I could
store all fields as some sort of string and then process it to display
it properly, but I need a advanced search function for my web app and
creating separate tables for each category seems the best way to
achieve it. I would really like to hear alternatives for this
So I have this situation where I need categories to hold all input fields needed for that certain category. So in administration I'd have this form where I'd be able to add the category name, some other relevant information to the category itself, and then these fields that would collect information on what HTML fields to present to the user when making an entry to this certain category.
For example this would be a Dog category:
Category name: Dog
Category enabled: 1
Category parent: Pets
Fields:
Title - text field (will be auto added to each category)
Breed - select field
Age - number field
Color - text field
Price - number field (will be auto added to each category)
Description - text area field (will be auto added to each category)
So now at this stage when the user created all these certain fields for the Dog category, Im having trouble figuring what would happen when the user hits the submit button to save this category. I thought of these two solutions:
Create a new model/table for each new category (Read linked question above) with all the HTML fields as columns and also store a row on the categories table with some basic info about this category
Store everything in the categories table and have a fields_json column which will store all HTML field information (I wont be actually storing HTML, but basic info what the fields are about then create the HTML form fields dynamically in a controller) as a JSON string. I would be able to present the fields nicely on create, but on update it would be a hassle to populate those fields (maybe) and a search function would not be very efficient with this alternative.
So what I'm looking for is a third alternative so I can fix my problem. What would be an efficient way to solve this problem and be able to have categories with different input fields and also be able to efficiently perform searches on these categories?
The project I'm working on is being created in Ruby on Rails 4 and the database is in MySQL.
For given scenario I would:
create table categories to store each category
create table category_fields to store each category field
create table collected_categories to store all collected data from category fields in serialized hash
Collected data can be easily (de)serialized into text column (no matter of db engine you will use).

I have a question on databases and how information is displayed in regards to Primary and Foreign keys.
For example, there are three tables; Employees, Employee_tickets and Employee_comments.
Each employeecan have multiple tickets and also multiple comments. A foreign key is placed in the Employee tickets and Employee Comments table. My application is built in vb.net with Visual Studio and it is a desktop application. How can I query say.. Employee Name ('Jon Doe') and display all of his tickets in a grid as well as all of the comments people have made on him over time? I have created a View on the sql database which returns all of the information I require but for each ticket listed under ('Jon Doe') the View displays and Employee Name for every single ticket. Is there a way to display the employee name only once and then every ticket listed under that particular individual without displaying the Employee Name again or do I have to make Separate windows to segregate all of this?
This seems like a really dumb question and I cannot for the life of me figure out how to correctly display what is required in this situation.
Here is an example of what I am trying to explain:
So for troy there is one employee name entered in the Employee Names table, There is one CWB ticket entered in the CWB table but there are TWO PQ Cards entered in the PQR Ticket table. How Can I Display only one row for Troy and one Row for his CWB because there are only one of each entered in the tables then the two rows for the PQR Cards under his name?
I have created a view which gathers this information all into the one single view itself then bound the datagridview's to this View.
Your problem has nothing to do with databases. Rather, the issue is that you have an entity (the employee) that has two separate collections associated with it (tickets and comments) and you want to show the contents of both collections.
Doing this in a datagrid is difficult because in its simplest incarnation it's intended to show one collection of like items.
I can think of a number of possibilities:
In your code, convert each collection to a single string value and display that single string value on the row with the employee's name. This conversion could be to comma-separate a stringified version of each item in the collection (as suggested by BS123 in the comments) or could simply be a summary (eg "5 Tickets").
Put the basic employee information in one data grid and then have two additional data grids below it, one bound to the Tickets collection and one to the Comments collection.
Embed data grids directly in the main data grid, one in the Tickets column and one in the Comments column, and bind each one to the appropriate collection in the employee.
Your database structure is correct so don't change that, you simply need to solve the issue of presentation.
What you're missing here is a controller between your view and your model. Your view is presenting exactly what it was given to present - it's up to you to format it.
There are several possible solutions to this, and the correct one partially depends on needs and infrastructure.
If you infrastructure is solid and your needs are near real time, consider dropping separately querying to fill your second and third tables based on what is picked in the first. This will increase the load on the database, but your data will almost always be correct, and the data will come from the database the way you want to see it.
If the database-centered solution is not good for you, LINQ provides some good ways to filter your data into typed collections that would present exactly what you want the user to see.
To get the users:
Dim users = From l In data.lines
Group By FirstName = l.firstName, LastName = l.lastName
Into Tickets = Group, Count()
You can then present this object to your grid. While dynamic typing works here, I think it would be easier to manage view interactions with defined classes. I'll leave that part up to you. Do some searching on LINQ to fill in the rest of the blanks. It's pretty neat stuff.
I am new to symfony and PHP.
I have a problem that I hope someone can help:
supose we have 3 entities.
Groups, specialities, works; works belong to a speciality, speciality belong to a group.
Supose that I want to have a form to create a "work". I want to filter my specialities according to a select with the list of groups ( much like on a travel site where we get the destinations filtered by the origin).
So my form will only have 2 fields. The speciality and a name for the work. But in my view i must have 3 fields, 1 for groups that will filter the specialities and the fields belonging to the form.
Much like a booking flights site I must see the fields from the begining.
This as to be so simple, but I'm really stuck on it.
Thank you
At this moment I can come up with 2 solutions:
1) Use ajax.
On the request populate a selectbox with the groups. when you select one of the groups, all the specialities come into a different selectbox of that group.
2)
Use uri segments. Let the user first choose group, then go to a next page and let them choose a speciality. After that the user gets a form where he fills in the data.
