[Plugin: Posts 2 Posts] How to add Admin Columns?

    I am putting together a site for the small library my office has, and I am utilizing your wonderful plugin as a way to do check-in/check-out of materials (ordinary post type) linked to Patrons (a custom post type). I have also been trying to figure out how to get the linked info to show up in custom columns on the manage posts screen, without success. So after the Posts 2 Posts update yesterday, I was very exited to see the new screenshot (3rd one down) that shows the titles of connected posts displayed in the Admin Columns on the Manage Posts page.

    I can’t quite see what I need to do to take advantage of the new column.php and column-factory.php and activate this new functionality. Is it also possible to use this to display information from other fields I created for the P2P metabox?

    Thank you for your time.

    You just need to add this to your p2p_register_connection_type() call:

    'admin_column' => 'any'

    It is not currently possible to display other connection fields.

    Excellent! Thank you so much – it works perfectly!

    I’m trying to use the admin_column param in multiple calls to register_connection_type to display columns for more than one connection, but it seems like only one column will show, namely the last one registered.

    Is it possible to get multiple columns to show for multiple connections?

    I’ve also tried adding the columns with my own code and ended up with some post id weirdness. It sort of worked but some posts would blank or with incorrect connections in 2nd and 3rd columns. Again, I’m trying to create 3 columns to show 3 different connections.

    Thanks for your help.

    OK, I’m looking at column.php and it looks like the add_column function will overwrite attempts to create multiple columns with the same column name of ‘connected.’

    Also, I just noticed that all the post_type connections are showing up in the column, not just what would make the CPT named in the column name.

    And, the connected items are wrapped in li’s but there’s no ul or ol enclosing them.

    @daxitude: Should be fixed in the development version (1.2-alpha).

    Sweet! Many thanks.
