ParticipantThere is still in March 2025 MB_Relationships_API::each_connected everywhere in the Metabox documentation. What is true?
ParticipantI bought Metabox because it seemed quite thorougly developed. But the relationship module is really not properly designed in my opinion. I can set everything up and I can choose even m-n relationships. But accessing and displaying it, is a nightmare.
Especially when I want to use the relationship field as a rich snippet field, it's impossible as the relationship field is somehow only "virtually" available. I can't match the relationship field to a schema field because the relationship is just not available.
July 21, 2023 at 4:48 AM in reply to: Relationship setup (following schema.org and Google rich snippets) #42706ParticipantHello Peter,
thanks for your quick reply. I realize that I couldn't express my issue correctly. My custom field and taxonomy setup is fine. The "activity" taxonomy has more items than those two described and is shared between several CPT.
I want to display on an event single page at least one performer and one organizer. And the issue I had in my mind was the mixture of the different sources. E.g. the 'organizer' can be coming from a person (related CPT) and/or an organization (related CPT). And as I don't want to set up all upcoming persons and organizations as posts in the CPT (usually that's the case because they only organize an event once), I thought about adding a text field where I can enter their name.
And for this I will write me a query where all those values from different fields are combined and outputed.
Another issue occured that I can't access relationships properly with GeneratePress and GenerateBlocks. I have really simple relationships like in your tutorials (e.g. instructor for courses, https://docs.metabox.io/tutorials/create-relationships-with-bricks/)
While I can at least get the field value of a relationship with PHP and MB Views on single pages, I can't get anything accessed on archive pages. Although I read the documentation about this point: https://docs.metabox.io/extensions/mb-relationships/#post-archive.
Do you have a tutorial or code example how that works with GenerateBlocks Query Loop or with PHP code on a page-custom.php?
July 18, 2023 at 9:50 PM in reply to: Display Relationship value in GenerateBlocks dynamic data #42636ParticipantHi Olivier, I tested the code a little but it seems that when a relationship changes this is not updated in the field. The code would need a specific Meta Box hook to allow to run when a relationship is updated. So, unfortuntately not a real dynamic solution.
July 18, 2023 at 9:43 PM in reply to: Display Relationship value in GenerateBlocks dynamic data #42635ParticipantHi 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 ) );
