 * hi,
 * great plugin, really enjoying using it. however I’ve found ‘show’ => ‘from’ does
   not work as expected. if I create the following connection the to admin box still
   shows up on all of the CPT’s. It’s not the end of the world it would just help
   save confusion to be able to remove the admin box….
 *     ```
       p2p_register_connection_type(
          array(
                    'name' => 'stuff_to_stuff',
                    'from' => array('holidays' , 'courses' , 'accommodation',
                                    'gear','companies','experiences'),
                      'to' => array('holidays' , 'courses' , 'accommodation' ,
                                    'gear' , 'companies' , 'experiences'),
                   'title' => array('to'   => 'test',
                                    'from' => 'products that are related'),
          'admin_dropdown' => 'any',
          'show'           => 'from'
          )
       );
       ```
   
 * cheers

 * Just to say I encountered the same problem (3.5.1)
 * Additionally,
    ‘show’ => ‘false’, ‘context’ => ‘advanced’ … also have no visible
   either on my setup.
 * I guess the quickfix is to set the css to display:none
    The id used to identify
   the admin box is unique depending on what posttype you are editing. So easy! #
   p2p-to-Session_to_Abstract #p2p-from-Session_to_Abstract
 * This filter works but removes all admin boxes which isnt quite what I want.
    
   e.g. function restrict_p2p_box_display( $show, $ctype, $post ) { if ( ‘ConnectionName’
   == $ctype->name && ‘to’ == $ctype->get_direction() ) { return 1; }
 *  return 0;
    }

 * It doesn’t work because that’s not the correct syntax.

 * ditto, my bad… must have been having a moment of blindness for the nested arrays,
   thank you for replying 🙂
