ACF Relationship Field & TEC Events Post Type

Same issue here. Since there hasn’t been a reply yet, a temp solution that worked for me is also select another post type in your ACF field.

Seems to only happen when only tribe_events is used as post type lookup. Adding another post type to select from (even though you don’t need it) fixed the problem for me anyway. Not a solution, but a workaround for now.

Good luck you ya.

Thanks @scotttrsar , this worked for displaying the selected events in the ACF Relationship box, however I’m still unable to query for the selected posts using Beaver Builder or a basic ACF function (code below). I believe this is the main issue that ACF mentioned needs to be fixed on TEC’s side. Were you able to display the selected posts?

// Display Featured Events ACF Relationship
function ecob_featured_events_relationship(){
	$featured_events = get_field('featured_events');
	if( $featured_events ): ?>
		<ul>
		<?php foreach( $featured_events as $featured_event ): 
			$permalink = get_permalink( $featured_event->ID );
			$title = get_the_title( $featured_event->ID );
			?>
			<li>
				<a href="<?php echo esc_url( $permalink ); ?>"><?php echo esc_html( $title ); ?></a>
			</li>
		<?php endforeach; ?>
		</ul>
	<?php endif;
}
add_shortcode( 'featured-events', 'ecob_featured_events_relationship' );

I haven’t run into this issue, though I’m not using beaver builder. The only issue I noticed was getting the field value to display in the admin after save.

However, looking at your shortcode example, you don’t seem to be returning anything. Could be why nothing is displaying for you.

Give this a shot:

function ecob_featured_events_relationship(){
	$featured_events = get_field('featured_events');
	if( $featured_events ): ?>
	  <?php ob_start(); ?>
		<ul>
		<?php foreach( $featured_events as $featured_event ): 
			$permalink = get_permalink( $featured_event->ID );
			$title = get_the_title( $featured_event->ID );
			?>
			<li>
				<a href="<?php echo esc_url( $permalink ); ?>"><?php echo esc_html( $title ); ?></a>
			</li>
		<?php endforeach; ?>
		</ul>
		<?php return ob_get_clean(); ?>
	<?php endif;
}
add_shortcode( 'featured-events', 'ecob_featured_events_relationship' );

Both before and after adding <?php return ob_get_clean(); ?> my shortcode successfully returns an unordered list, but unfortunately the permalink and title displayed match the page (not the selected posts). It looks like this with the homepage permalink on each:

• Home
• Home
• Home

I also find it interesting that the query recognizes I have selected three posts, yet it does not grab the posts information. It still looks like The Events Calendar modifies the database queries when ACF tries to load events using the Relationship field. @scotttrsar How are you displaying your relationship successfully?

This is no longer on topic with the admin field and ACF, but you’re most likely only pulling in the post id’s then in your field settings. If this is the case, you don’t need $featured_event->ID. I’d just be $featured_event.

If you want to troubleshoot a bit easier I would recommend learning about some debugging tactics and using php functions such as print_r or var_dump.

// See the field data before you start looping it.
print_r($featured_events); exit;

This doesn’t appear to be any issue with the actual plugin code.

However, the issue of ACF and TEC still exists when a post object or relationship field is set to post type tribe_events only.

Hi @scotttrsar and @laurenturkois,

We do appreciate the feedback and comments on how to troubleshoot the issue here, it is noteworthy — thanks for sharing. Please do update the plugins to the latest version.

It seems like this thread gone quiet, and there are no further activities. We assume that this is already fixed or no longer applicable. I would mark this as resolved for now.

If that is not the case, please let me know, and I will gladly remove the “Resolved” tag and try to help you further. Or you can create a new topic with the issue if you prefer.

Best,
Abz
