Use pods to link to a related custom post type

Hi there,

I followed several of the tutorials about dynamic content within Brizy, but I can't figure out how to link between dynamic content.

For example, you want to list all the books that are written by an author, and you want them to have a url towards them (so not an external url, but an url to the custom book type).

I already added the field type "Relationship" but the related fiel of the other content type don't show up in my Brizy template.

How do I manage this within Brizy? Is there a tutorial available?

  Well, I figured out with the help of the Pods author, Jim True.

  Since those relation ship fields don't show up in Brizy via #..., you need to add a shortcode and try to style it as good and as bad as possible, since that is small pitfall of Brizy.

  Also, one single pod item within a direct shortcode doesn't work in Brizy, so you should add a shortcode to pull in a single pod widget, where you can pull in the related books in this example.

  In the pod template, you can add this:

  [each related field name]<a href="{@field you want to call.permalink}">{@field you want to call.post_title}</a>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;[/each]

  Hope this can be of some help to other people.
