Display Relationship value in GenerateBlocks dynamic data

Hello,

If you use the relationship shortcode on a page, not in the content of the post type event, please pass the ID of the post to the shortcode to the attribute items. For example:

[mb_relationships id="licensee-events" items="12,34,56" direction="from" mode="ul"]

where 12,34,56 are post IDs of the post type event.

>> Is there any way to output the relationship value into a custom field?
You can try to add the shortcode to the field WYSIWYG and get the field value in the block/builder. But I think it is not necessary if you can add the shortcode to the page content or a block shortcode.

Hello,

As I said before, you need to have a basic knowledge of PHP and WordPress coding to control the output data. Meta Box is not a tool with just a few clicks to set up anything on your site.
Hope that makes sense.

Hi Olivier, I had the same problem. GeneratePress Pro and GenerateBlocks Pro don't seem to be the best combination to deal with Meta Box relationships.

I wrote this code for one case where I wanted to add with the dynamic data option by GP and GB a 'person' related to a 'course' on the course single page (that person is in the course context a 'mentor'). This code generates a custom field (my_new_field_name) with a comma separated list of all mentors.

add_action( 'save_post_kurs', 'update_my_new_field_name', 10, 2 );
function update_my_new_field_name( $post_id, $post ) {
if ( defined('DOING_AUTOSAVE') && DOING_AUTOSAVE ) {
return;
}

$related_persons = MB_Relationships_API::get_connected([
'id' => 'kurs-person',
'from' => $post_id
]);

$mentor_names = [];
foreach ( $related_persons as $person ) {
$mentor_names[] = get_post_meta($person->ID, 'person_name', true);
}

update_post_meta( $post_id, 'my_new_field_name', implode( ', ', $mentor_names ) );
}
