Relationship Post Object Filtering Issue

You need to check the post type of for where the field is being shown, using $post (second argument)

For example at the top of your filter

if ($post->post_type == 'post-type-1') {
  // set value for this post type
} else {
  // set title for other post type
}

Thank you for the help! Would this be correct syntax???…

add_filter('acf/fields/relationship/result/name=show_as_community_model', function($title, $post, $field, $post_id) {
  if ($post->post_type == 'home_listing') {

$lot = get_field('lot', $post->ID);
  $sqft = get_field('sq_ft', $post->ID);
  $mls = get_field('mls', $post->ID);
  $price = get_field('price',$post->ID);

  $title .= ' ?  Lot:  ' . $lot . '  ?  SqFt:  ' . $sqft . ' ?  MLS: ' . $mls . ' ?  Price:  ' . $price . '';
	
	return $title;
}, 10, 4);

} else {

$title .= '';

}

looks right to me

I just pasted it into functions and something is broken with the syntax?

What does the 10 and 4 code do? I think my syntax organization is off somehow but I’m not sure what I did wrong ??

}, 10, 4);

@hube2 I came up with code that worked see below but the $community variable I call in the following script is a Post Object. For some reason it makes the entire custom field in the admin empty and doesn’t shot anything. the second I remove the $community post object custom field code from the following block it displays just fine. Do you know how to display the title of a Post Object in a filter like this? I just want to include the community name in the filter along with those other fields but it refuses to work because $community is a post object ACF field and I don’t know how to write the code so that the community title shows up along with the rest of the fields (which are all standard ACF text fields)…..

add_filter('acf/fields/relationship/result/name=show_as_community_model', 'my_acf_fields_relationship_result', 10, 4);
function my_acf_fields_relationship_result( $text, $post, $field, $post_id ) {
	
  $community = get_field ('community', $post->ID);
  $sqft = get_field('sq_ft', $post->ID);
  $mls = get_field('mls', $post->ID);
  $price = get_field('price',$post->ID);
	
    if ($post->post_type == 'home_listings') {
        $text .= '  ?  ' . $community . '  ?  Lot:  ' . $lot . '  ?  SqFt:  ' . $sqft . ' ?  MLS: ' . $mls . ' ?  Price:  ' . $price . '';
    }
    return $text;
}

}, 10, 4);

Priority, Number of args passed

if the field “community” is a post object (an object of the class WP_Post). This is causing an error when you try to concatenate it into the string, likely causing an “to string” conversion error.

If you want the title of the post then you should be using $community->post_title

Still won’t work…I adding post_title…..can you tell me where I’m not typing it correctly?

add_filter('acf/fields/relationship/result/name=show_as_community_model', 'my_acf_fields_relationship_result', 10, 4);
function my_acf_fields_relationship_result( $text, $post, $field, $post_id ) {
  $community = get_field('community', $community->post_title);
  $sqft = get_field('sq_ft', $post->ID);
  $mls = get_field('mls', $post->ID);
  $price = get_field('price',$post->ID);
	
    if ($post->post_type == 'home_listings') {
        $text .= '  ?  ' . $community . '  ?  Lot:  ' . $lot . '  ?  SqFt:  ' . $sqft . ' ?  MLS: ' . $mls . ' ?  Price:  ' . $price . '';
    }
    return $text;
}

@hube2 I figured this out and will mark it as resolved!!!!! Here’s the final working code for anyone else who might want this same functionality. You’re welcome ya’ll! AND big thank you to Mr. John Huebner for your awesome help!

add_filter('acf/fields/relationship/result/name=show_as_community_model', 'my_acf_fields_relationship_result', 10, 5);
function my_acf_fields_relationship_result( $text, $post, $field, $post_id ) {

  $community = get_field ('community', $post->ID);
  $sqft = get_field('sq_ft', $post->ID);
  $mls = get_field('mls', $post->ID);
  $price = get_field('price',$post->ID);
  $lot = get_field('lot', $post->ID);
	
    if ($post->post_type == 'home_listings') {
		
        $text .= ' ?  ' . $community->post_title .  ' ?  Lot:  ' . $lot . '  ?  SqFt:  ' . $sqft . ' ?  MLS: ' . $mls . ' ?  Price:  ' . $price . '';
    }
    return $text;
}

@hube2 Would you be able to help me enable searching by more than the post title? I’d love to allow the user to be able to search the show_as_community_model post object field by more than the home listing post title but rather by the Lot, price, mls, sq ft and community. I’m sure there is a filter out there somewhere but I’m new to this and it would make browsing for a home listing to associate as a model home so much quicker and easier for the user.

these questions are really not about the use of this plugin. If you need help with ACF then you should be using the ACF forum.

Gotcha, I’ll go ahead and submit my question about the search aspect of the post object on the ACF forum. Thank you again.
