 * Hi,
 * Thanks for another great plugin, the possibilities of P2P are great. But I’m 
   having some trouble making it work.
 * I did the following, on a blank WP (3.1.1) and P2P (0.7), my PHP version is 5.3.3:
 * Created a custom post type named : publications
 * Then in functions.php :
 *     ```
       function my_connection_types() {
       	if ( !function_exists( 'p2p_register_connection_type' ) )
       		return;
   
       	p2p_register_connection_type( array(
       		'from' => 'publications',
       		'to' => 'page'
       	) );
       }
       add_action( 'init', 'my_connection_types', 100 );
       ```
   
 * and in page.php :
 *     ```
       $connected = new WP_Query( array(
       	'post_type' => 'publications',
       	'connected_from' => get_queried_object_id()
       ) );
   
       echo '<p>Related posts:</p>';
       echo '<ul>';
       	while( $connected->have_posts() ) : $connected->the_post();
       		echo '<li>';
       		the_title();
       		echo '</li>';
       	endwhile;
       echo '</ul>';
   
       wp_reset_postdata();
       ```
   
 * This is exactly the examples from the wiki, I just adapted it to a custom post
   type. But it doesn’t work, all it shows is : “Related posts:”
 * Am I missing something ?

 * Ok I got the answer [here](http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/15456/ho-does-scribus-posts-2-posts-work/).
 * It turns out you need to write :
 * `connected' => get_queried_object_id()`
 * instead of :
 * `connected_from' => get_queried_object_id()`
 * Now I’m very excited to play with P2P, as Scribu says the possibilities are endless!
