    I'm making some relationships between several CPTs and custom Taxonomies. When we make these relationships - we see the box on the right side of the screen and it says 'Connected From' or 'Connected To'. See here: https://snipboard.io/vxMdPb.jpg

    I would like to change these titles. Is that possible? and if so, can I assign unique titles to different boxes so they don't all read the same?

    thanks for your help.

    Hi,

    Yes, it is possible. You can add the setting meta box title to the from or to array. For example:

    'from'  => [
    'object_type'   => 'post',
    'post_type'     => 'post',
    'meta_box'      => [
        'title' => 'Custom connected'
    ]
],
'to'    => 'page',

    Read more on the documentation https://docs.metabox.io/extensions/mb-relationships/#syntax

    If you use the builder, you can click on the tab Meta Box, screenshot https://share.getcloudapp.com/P8u5qJYl.

    Your code example isolates the type of relationship (posts to posts, terms to posts, etc). But what if I wanted to isolate by specific relationship?

    Example, I have many 'post to post' relationships, but I need the 'Connect to/from' box to have a different title for each relationship.

    Like this -

    (post to post relationship #1) Events to Venues => from 'Connected to' to 'Linked Venues'
    (post to post relationship #2) Venues to Work Zones => from 'Connected to' to 'Assigned Work Zones'

    Hi,

    You can create many relationships between objects as you want: post types, users, terms.
    For post object, specific by post_type setting.
    For term object, specific by taxonomy setting.

    add_action( 'mb_relationships_init', function() {
    MB_Relationships_API::register( [
        'id'    => 'events_to_venues',
        'from'  => [
            'object_type'   => 'post',
            'post_type'     => 'event',
            'meta_box'      => [
                'title' => 'Link to Venues'
            ]
        ],
        'to'    => [
            'object_type'   => 'post',
            'post_type'     => 'venue',
            'meta_box'      => [
                'title' => 'Assigned Events'
            ]
        ],
    ] );
} );
    add_action( 'mb_relationships_init', function() {
    MB_Relationships_API::register( [
        'id'    => 'venues_to_workzone',
        'from'  => [
            'object_type'   => 'post',
            'post_type'     => 'venue',
            'meta_box'      => [
                'title' => 'Link to Work Zones'
            ]
        ],
        'to'    => [
            'object_type'   => 'post',
            'post_type'     => 'workzone',
            'meta_box'      => [
                'title' => 'Link to Venues'
            ]
        ],
    ] );
} );
    add_action( 'mb_relationships_init', function () {
    MB_Relationships_API::register( [
        'id'   => 'categories_to_workzone',
        'from' => [
            'object_type' => 'term',
            'taxonomy'    => 'category',
            'meta_box'      => [
                'title' => 'Assigned Work Zones'
            ]
        ],
        'to'    => [
            'object_type'   => 'post',
            'post_type'     => 'workzone',
            'meta_box'      => [
                'title' => 'Link to Categories'
            ]
        ],
    ] );
} );
