    I need to create something for a magazine that has a download PDF for every single post and also has “per post” 10 child posts associated to the main post with also PDFs in each one of them.

    See it as issues of a magazine, for example:

    Issue 01 (main post)
    – Post Text
    – Download PDF

    Child Posts (topic 1)
    – Child Post 1 (title and excerpt linking to post)
    – Child Post 2 (title and excerpt linking to post)
    – Child Post 3 (title and excerpt linking to post)
    – Child Post 4 (title and excerpt linking to post)
    – Child Post 5 (title and excerpt linking to post)

    Child Posts (topic 2)
    – Child Post 1 (title and excerpt linking to post)
    – Child Post 2 (title and excerpt linking to post)
    – Child Post 3 (title and excerpt linking to post)
    – Child Post 4 (title and excerpt linking to post)
    – Child Post 5 (title and excerpt linking to post)

    Each child post has text and a PDF download as well (as the main post).

    So when you click on a Issue, you see a main post text with a PDF link to download AND 10 child post (title, author category) linking to those 10 child posts in 2 different topics. Those 10 child posts only appear inside the main post.

    Something like “related posts”, but those are specific to that main post, not random, they are directly associated and written to complement the main post.

    How would you recommend to do this in Enfold?

    Thanks.

    Hey peterolle,

    Thank you for the inquiry.

    You could set a special category for the child posts, e.g “topic-1-child-posts” for the child posts of topic 1 and select that category in a posts element (blog posts, magazine, posts slider etc). The PDF link can be added manually using a text block or by adding a custom field. You will then have to modify the posts template to reflect the value of the custom field and use it as the post link.

    Unfortunately, you cannot assign a parent post or have a post with child posts. This is only possible for pages.

    Best regards,
