[Plugin: Posts 2 Posts] combining the admin UI of related posts

Continuing on my project where I have 2 post_types, (movies, actors).

Your code snippets are properly allowing me to relate the two post types as expected.

Here is what I am trying to fix:
1. I create 2 post_types (movies, actors)

This gives me 2 separate admin top level input areas, so I have top level movies and actors.

What I am trying to do, is change the layout of the admin UI, so that I have one top level button, movies, and actors becomes a sub of movies.

example admin layout right now:
Movies
— edit movies
— add movies
Actors
— edit Actors
— add Actors

What I am trying to get to is as follows:
Movies
— edit movies
— add movies
— edit actors
— add actors

That way when the user is on the wp admin page, there is only one post_type ‘movies’ in the dropdown.

With only 2 post_types, it’s not to bad, but when I start adding in others, I can see where my wp admin UI is going to get really cluttered very fast. Movies alone could have post_types, actors, directors, genres, many more…

I know if I used taxonomies, then everything would automatically appear below the ‘Movies’ admin UI button, but that is not possible for this project.

For example, if I were just adding in an actors name, then taxonomy would be perfect. However I want to allow the user to add actors name, image, description, etc.. which I believe is better suited to it’s own custom post_type.

Is there a workaround to reorder my admin UI for post_types, to relate the management of one post_type to another?

thnx
