GWG [tw2113]: Have you ever done a post to post relationship?

#
[tw2113_Slack_] not actively from scratch, but i’ve worked on sites that have used it
#
[tw2113_Slack_] I believe we were using https://wordpress.org/plugins/posts-to-posts/

Loqi [scribu] Description This plugin allows you to create many-to-many relationships between posts of any type: post, page, custom etc. A few example use cases: manually curated lists of related posts post series products connected to retailers etc. Additionally...

GWG [tw2113_Slack_]: I don't really want to do a new table....I might just use a meta field to store the relationship as it is 1:1

#
[tw2113_Slack_] definitely one way to go
#
GWG This is venue to post relationships...so each post can only be associated with one venue
#
GWG I was setting up for a taxonomy... but it got a bit too complex for that
#
GWG And what would be another way to go?
#
[tw2113_Slack_] dunno offhand
#
GWG I'll have to sleep on it
#
RasAlGhoul how do you feel about plugins for wp that dont use gnu gpl code
#
RasAlGhoul rather, make it appear to the end user that their product is in no way licensed under gnu gpl
#
GWG Neutral... but I get annoyed with plugins that are too aggressive in their upselling
#
RasAlGhoul that too, when basic functionalities are paywalled
#
RasAlGhoul such as the basic ability to revoke a license from a site
#
RasAlGhoul "sorry bro we gotta do it manually or you gotta upgrade to an unlimited license"
#
RasAlGhoul "this functionality is in development"
#
RasAlGhoul *checks roadmap* in development for 1 year
#
GWG Everything I write is free and open
