   Reciprocal relationships are not being created, even when set to "true". I am using version 0.4.

   Perhaps I'm just not understanding how the plugin is meant to work, but if reciprocal = true, should I not be seeing a connection automatically filled in the Edit Post screen?

   Here is the code I have placed in my functions.php:

   /** Many to Many Post relationships (Post 2 Post plugin)
    */
   function my_connection_types() {
       if ( !function_exists('p2p_register_connection_type') )
           return;
   
       p2p_register_connection_type( 'film', 'film', true );
   }
   add_action('init', 'my_connection_types', 100);

   (Apart from that - thank you so much for this plugin! I could kiss the ground you walk on for this!)

   I'm looking into it.

   Should be fixed in the development version (0.4.1-alpha).

   In alpha I now see the reciprocal connection, but I can't see the metabox in the orignal/ancestor (?) post.
   

   p2p_register_connection_type('game', 'team', false);

   Shows a metabox to link a team for each game. The team content isn't aware of a link with different games.

   p2p_register_connection_type('game', 'team', true);

   Metabox to link a team isn't showing anymore. The team content is however showing linked games.

   Yeah, there was a logic error. Should work now. Development version is 0.5-alpha.

   Hi Scribu

   I'm having some issues with reciprocal links and I'm not sure if its a WordPress 3.2 thing or if I've done something wrong, or perhaps I'm just not understanding something. I'm using version 0.7 with WordPress 3.2.

   In my functions file, I have the following:
   

   function my_connection_types() {
   	if ( !function_exists( 'p2p_register_connection_type' ) )
   		return;
   	p2p_register_connection_type( array(
   		'from' => 'film',
   		'to' => 'film',
   		'reciprocal' => true
   	) );
   }
   add_action( 'init', 'my_connection_types', 100 );

   In my single-film.php file, I have:

   $screenswith = "";
   $connected = new WP_Query( array(
     'post_type' => 'film',
     'connected_to' => get_queried_object_id()
     ) );
   
   if( $connected->have_posts() ) {
     $screenswith = '<div class="screenswith arrow_list"><h6>Screens with:</h6>';
   $screenswith .= '<ul>';
   while( $connected->have_posts() ) : $connected->the_post();
   $screenswith .= '<li><a href="'.get_permalink().'" title="'.get_the_title().'" target="_blank">'.get_the_title().'</a></li>';
   endwhile;
   $screenswith .= '</ul>';
   $screenswith .= '</div>';
   }
   wp_reset_postdata();
   echo $screenswith;

   The reciprocal relationship is being created in the admin backend, but on the front end, only one post shows the $screenswith data - the other post is "blank". If I change the request from connected_to to connected_from, then they switch - the previously blank post now shows the connected post, and the other is then blank.

   Perhaps I've just missed something in the wiki, but I thought reciprocal would create a from/to relationship in both directions on the front end as well?

   Just replace 'connected_to' with 'connected'.

   Awesome, thanks so much for your swift response. Was that in the documentation (did I just miss it)?

   No, it wasn't. I have to sit down one day an post a detailed explanation.
