 * Great plugin, I bought the premium version. Question about something I’m trying
   to pull off but can’t figure out how to do:
 * I have a custom post type “Contact”, that is linked to another custom post type“
   Ticket”. Each ticket has a meta field called “ticket_type”, which can be things
   like “Order” or “To-Do” (whatever ticket types we feel like creating).
 * I’d like to be able to associate each “ticket_type” with a “Contact” and have
   it appear the same way as when I associate Contact<–>Ticket. So for example, 
   in the admin area, when I’m viewing a Contact, the p2p box would show a heading
   each ticket type, “Orders”, “To-Dos”, etc…does that make sense? Is it possible?

 * haha, sorry I was thinking of a different plugin 🙂 Your is just as great though…
   between just the two I already converted WP into a working CRM app.
 * Any thoughts about how to achieve what I’m trying to do?

 * So, basically, to have a separate p2p box for each ticket type, right?

 * A ‘Contact’ is a new custom post type created with ‘register_post_type’. A ‘ticket’
   is also a custom post type.

 * I know; I meant what does it represent. Is it a person’s contact information 
   or what?

 * Not necessarily a user, basically stores form submission contact info. For example,
   a visitor on our site wants fills out an inquiry form for our services, they 
   get stored as a ‘contact’.

 * Ok, thanks.
 * It’s not currently possible to do this easily, but I can see how it would be 
   useful in many cases.
 * Will let you know when I have something workable.
