Get values from a relationship field in an extended post type

Hi @pixelshrink

Pods field should always return the same format.
Are you sure this field isn’t empty? And if not, what is it returning? You can check usign print_r() for example.

Cheers, Jory

Can you clarify whether this is a single file or multiple file field?

Thanks very much, it’s multiple.

Here’s a comparison of the var_dump($related) for the CPT that does work, and the extended post type where the code mentioned above doesn’t show the download field:

var_dump( $related )

Pods CPT where documents are displayed:

array(1) { [0]=> array(24) { ["ID"]=> string(3) "293" ["post_author"]=> string(1) "1" ["post_date"]=> string(19) "2021-07-29 08:23:23" ["post_date_gmt"]=> string(19) "2021-07-29 08:23:23" ["post_content"]=> string(0) "" ["post_title"]=> string(67) "Meeting name" ["post_excerpt"]=> string(0) "" ["post_status"]=> string(7) "inherit" ["comment_status"]=> string(6) "closed" ["ping_status"]=> string(6) "closed" ["post_password"]=> string(0) "" ["post_name"]=> string(63) "Download title" ["to_ping"]=> string(0) "" ["pinged"]=> string(0) "" ["post_modified"]=> string(19) "2021-07-29 10:17:26" ["post_modified_gmt"]=> string(19) "2021-07-29 10:17:26" ["post_content_filtered"]=> string(0) "" ["post_parent"]=> string(3) "257" ["guid"]=> string(136) "download.doc" ["menu_order"]=> string(1) "0" ["post_type"]=> string(10) "attachment" ["post_mime_type"]=> string(71) "application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document" ["comment_count"]=> string(1) "0" ["pod_item_id"]=> string(3) "293" } } 293

PODS extended post type where Illegal string offset 'ID' in $id = $rel[ 'ID' ];:
array(24) { ["ID"]=> string(3) "392" ["post_author"]=> string(1) "1" ["post_date"]=> string(19) "2021-08-06 15:00:53" ["post_date_gmt"]=> string(19) "2021-08-06 15:00:53" ["post_content"]=> string(0) "" ["post_title"]=> string(37) "Event name" ["post_excerpt"]=> string(0) "" ["post_status"]=> string(7) "inherit" ["comment_status"]=> string(6) "closed" ["ping_status"]=> string(6) "closed" ["post_password"]=> string(0) "" ["post_name"]=> string(39) "Download title" ["to_ping"]=> string(0) "" ["pinged"]=> string(0) "" ["post_modified"]=> string(19) "2021-09-15 15:48:54" ["post_modified_gmt"]=> string(19) "2021-09-15 15:48:54" ["post_content_filtered"]=> string(0) "" ["post_parent"]=> string(3) "390" ["guid"]=> string(109) "download.pdf" ["menu_order"]=> string(1) "0" ["post_type"]=> string(10) "attachment" ["post_mime_type"]=> string(15) "application/pdf" ["comment_count"]=> string(1) "0" ["pod_item_id"]=> string(3) "392" }

Thanks for your patience here, I just really want to confirm that both fields are set as file fields and both fields are set to multiple files, not single, and not set to limit 1.

Can you confirm?

Thanks for your help Scott, the one that wasn’t working was indeed set to single files, now it’s set to multiple it works. Thanks very much for your help. Glad it was a simple one!

Great news! Glad it was easy, that’s why I wanted to double check because it seemed like it could just be that.
