    Is it possible to make a new listing in a CPT have a requirement that it be linked to a listing in another CPT?

    For example, businesses would list in the Places CPT and then I would have a People CPT, so a business can have a tab that lists their employees with links to that employee’s page where they can list their specific expertise/specialties/bio? I don’t want people to be able create a listing in the People CPT that’s not associated with a location.

    Thanks!

    Hello,

    I’m sorry that would require a customization.

    there is not a setting for that, to require that a place be linked, and linking is an optional field.

    Can you say more about the use case? Maybe there is another way to accomplish this. Who will be adding the listings, the employees?

    I think it would be the business listing the employees. Right now all I can think is adding wording to the pricing package saying that listings added without a link to a business will not be approved, but I see the possibility people adding them anyway.

    On that note, what happens if you don’t approve a listing, do you have to go and manually refund their payment?

    Maybe I could remove the Add People option from the dashboard and just provide a direct link to that package in the welcome email?

    You’ll probably need to modify this script slightly to adapt it to your situation, but this topic treated the same argument: https://wpgeodirectory.com/support/topic/geodirectory-linked-listings/#post-430525

    Thanks

    Great thank you, that script worked for making the CPT require a business link. It doesn’t do the same for the events though which is kinda confusing since it seems the events call the same “propertyform” ID. But CPTs were my main concern so awesome.
