   Loving your plugin Scribu.

   I need to create a drop down of posts that have not been connected with any users. How do I add that to my get_posts() arguments?

   Noddy (expensive) example:

   function get_unconnected_suppliers(){
     $available = array();
       $suppliers = get_posts( array(
         'post_type'      => 'supplier',
         'post_status'    => 'publish',
         'numberposts'    => -1,
         'posts_per_page' => -1,
         'orderby'        => 'title',
         'order'          => 'ASC',
       ) );
       foreach( $suppliers as $supplier ) :
         $users = get_users( array(
           'connected_type'  => 'user_supplier',
           'connected_items' => $supplier
         ) );
         if( $users ):
           continue;
         endif;
   
       $available[] = $supplier;
     endforeach;
   
     return $available;
   }

   You could use

   $posts = p2p_type( 'YOUR_CONNECTION_TYPE' )
     ->set_direction( 'from' )
     ->get_connectable( 'any' );

   Replace 'from' with 'to', if necessary.

   Thanks. Is that for the complete list of posts, or to be called inside the loop to check for connections?

   ALL THE POSTS! :)

   Gotacha, like so?

   $suppliers = p2p_type( 'user_supplier' )->set_direction( 'to' )->get_connectable( 'any' );
   foreach( $suppliers->items as $supplier ):
     $available[] = $supplier;
   endforeach;

   This is not any quicker. My sample size is ~1500 posts and it is just as slow as my first example.

   Perhaps I should identify all existing connections instead?

   Well, get_connetable() actually uses get_connected() internally, so I'm not sure if you'll gain much.
