[Plugin: Posts 2 Posts] Metabox search not respecting connection

Resolved

(@sstasio)

Hi all,

I’ve got my posts connected to a custom post type called destination. When a post is written, I’d like the author to assign it to a destination. The problem is that the search brings up all slugs, regardless of the connection set, that match the term while listing the connected ‘posts’ respects the connection. Have I set up my connection incorrectly, or is this a known issue when using the search? Any help is greatly appreciated. Here is my connection code:

//Posts 2 Post Connections
function my_connection_types() {
	// Make sure the Posts 2 Posts plugin is active.
	if (!function_exists('p2p_register_connection_type'))
		return;

	//events

		p2p_register_connection_type( array(
			'id' => 'event_destination',
			'from' => 'event',
			'to' => 'destination',
			'sortable' => 'any'));		

		p2p_register_connection_type( array(
			'id' => 'event_recprogram',
			'from' => 'event',
			'to' => 'recprogram',
			'sortable' => 'any'));

		p2p_register_connection_type( array(
			'id' => 'event_project',
			'from' => 'event',
			'to' => 'project',
			'sortable' => 'any'));

	//posts

		p2p_register_connection_type( array(
			'id' => 'post_destination',
			'from' => 'destination',
			'to' => 'post',
			'sortable' => 'any'));	

		p2p_register_connection_type( array(
			'id' => 'post_recprogram',
			'from' => 'post',
			'to' => 'recprogram',
			'sortable' => 'any'));

		p2p_register_connection_type( array(
			'id' => 'post_project',
			'from' => 'post',
			'to' => 'project',
			'sortable' => 'any'));	

	//people

		p2p_register_connection_type( array(
			'id' => 'employee_manager',
			'from' => 'employee',
			'to' => 'employee',
			'cardinality' => 'one-to-many',
			'sortable' => 'any',
			'title' => array( 'from' => 'Manages', 'to' => 'Managed by' )));

	//managed

		p2p_register_connection_type( array(
			'id' => 'recprogram_managers',
			'from' => 'employee',
			'to' => 'recprogram',
			'sortable' => 'any'));

		p2p_register_connection_type( array(
			'id' => 'project_manager',
			'from' => 'project',
			'to' => 'employee',
			'cardinality' => 'many-to-many',
			'sortable' => 'any',
			'title' => array( 'from' => 'Project Manager', 'to' => 'Projects Managed')));

		p2p_register_connection_type( array(
			'id' => 'destination_manager',
			'from' => 'destination',
			'to' => 'employee',
			'cardinality' => 'many-to-many',
			'sortable' => 'any',
			'title' => array( 'from' => 'Destination Manager', 'to' => 'Destinations Managed')));

			}

add_action( 'init', 'my_connection_types', 100 );

So what you’re saying is that, in the ‘event_destination’ metabox, when you search for a destination, you get posts that are not destinations at all.

And this happens for all the P2P metaboxes?

Yes, that is correct. I haven’t tested all of the connections that I made, but will do so now. I’ll post the results shortly. Thanx for your awesome plugin!

Scribu,

Yes, all metaboxes produce the same behavoir.

Can’t reproduce using the latest version (1.1.2).

Try switching to the default theme. Then, try disabling all other plugins.

I figured it out, I used the following code to add my custom post types to search:
```
//Add Custom Post Types to Search
//function filter_search($query) {
//    if ($query->is_search) {
//	$query->set('post_type', array('post', 'employee', 'project', 'recprogram', 'partner', 'destination', 'event'));
//    };
//    return $query;
//};
//add_filter('pre_get_posts', 'filter_search');
```
oops…

I had the same problem and solved by adding a ! is_admin conditional to the if statement.
