Hello,
I would like to display a child post custom field in the parent's taxonomy archive table, how would I set this up?
The situation:
I currently have 3 Parent CPT's belonging to one Taxonomy. I would like to setup a new Child CPT under these Parents and use a field table to organize the data, and then relate it to the taxonomy the parents belong to.
So the ChildCPT could belong to the parents and the Taxonomy.
The Taxonomy is Location, the ChildCPT is Distance.
Each ParentCPT can belong to different Sub-Taxonomies or more than one Location.
I.E.
ParentCPT
London
France
Each of these Locations has their own Archive-page displaying the posts that belong to them, but all of them draw on one template.
The ChildCPT would then be setup to correspond with each of those by selecting the same ParentCPT Taxonomy and input a Distance in a Custom Field
I.E.
ChildCPT
Title -> Distance -> Taxonomy
ChildCPT Title -> 5 Miles -> London
The Taxonomy Archive is currently setup to display the parents within a FooTable, I would like to take the Distance Custom Field from the ChildCPT and add it to this Taxonomy Archive Table, how would I set this up?
My Ideas:
1. In the WPV-Loop section evaluate if the post-type equals one of the parents for each table-row-cell, then for one table-row-cell evaluate if ParentCPT is true, display ChildCPT Custom Field. The problem with this is that I don't know how to make sure the ChildCPT is in the corresponding Parent's Row of data.
2. Use A View to replace the archive via this method and use a similar method to the one above.

3. Create a custom WP-Query and tie it to a shortcode, then input this into the existing Archive-View Template.
4. Other more simple options?
Thank you for your time,
Shelby
