PLEASE NOTE: THIS IS THE LAST VERSION. WE ARE RETIRING THIS PLUGIN.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Allows you to link post types (including custom post types) and posts to each other and attach data directly to the links. ZigConnect was inspired by the plugin \"Posts 2 Posts\" but has been written from scratch.<\/p>\n\n

Minimum versions required: WordPress 4.5, PHP 5.3 and MySQL 5.5.3.<\/p>\n\n

Compatible with ClassicPress.<\/p>\n\n

For further information and support, please visit the ZigConnect home page<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Unzip the installer and upload the resulting 'zigconnect' folder to the \/wp-content\/plugins\/<\/code> directory. Alternatively, go to Admin > Plugins > Add New and enter ZigConnect in the search box.<\/li>\n
  2. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress.<\/li>\n
  3. Go to the plugin's main admin page and start creating connections between content types.<\/li>\n
  4. Edit a post of a connected type and look for the ZigConnect panels below the main content edit panel.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n

    If updating manually, always deactivate before uploading and then reactivate. This will trigger any required database structure updates.<\/p>\n\n\n

    \n
    How do I use the template tags?<\/dt>\n

    Try the following example. It should be inserted into single.php, inside the loop. It will show a list of posts of type 'my_type' which are linked to the current post via a connection.<\/p>\n\n

    $connectedposts = zc_get_linked_posts('my_type');\nif ($connectedposts) {\n    echo '<ul>';\n    foreach ($connectedposts as $otherpostid) {\n        $otherpost = get_post($otherpostid);\n        echo '<li>';\n        echo '<a href=\"' . get_bloginfo('url') . '\/my_type\/' . $otherpost->post_name . '\">' . $otherpost->post_title . '<\/a>';\n        echo '<\/li>';\n    }\n    echo '<\/ul>';\n}\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n
    If you have a connection between types that carries one or more data fields, you can also show the content of these data fields for each link in the list, like this enlarged example.<\/p>\n\n
    $connectedposts = zc_get_linked_posts('my_type');\nif ($connectedposts) {\n    echo '<ul>';\n    foreach ($connectedposts as $otherpostid) {\n        $otherpost = get_post($otherpostid);\n        $linkdata = zc_get_linkdata($otherpostid);\n        echo '<li>';\n        echo '<a href=\"' . get_bloginfo('url') . '\/my_type\/' . $otherpost->post_name . '\">' . $otherpost->post_title . '<\/a>';\n        if ($linkdata) {\n            echo ' ( ';\n            foreach ($linkdata as $linkdatakey=>$linkdatavalue) {\n                echo $linkdatakey . '=' . $linkdatavalue . ' ';\n            }\n            echo ' ) ';\n        }\n        echo '<\/li>';\n    }\n    echo '<\/ul>';\n}\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n
    If you have more than one connection between the same two content types, you can use the new template tags zc_get_connection_by_name or zc_get_connection_by_slug to get the ID of the right connection. You can then pass this ID as a second parameter to the zc_get_linked_posts template tag.<\/p><\/dd>\n
    I have a question not shown here!<\/dt>\n
