    What is “Link Posts: Event” all about? I mean, it’s a new field so I’m not really sure how this works. I know in the past V1 could link events to posts, is this a reverse of that? I’m curious how you imagine this being used, the why and how…

    That is covered here:
    https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs-v2/addons/custom-post-types/#link

    The docs start here: https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs-v2/

    Might help to give them a click-through

    cool, thanks. There’s so much all over this site/forum it’s hard to know if I’m ever in the right place. Thanks again!

    Ok, so I don’t really see “Link Posts: Event” but I see where it discusses linking CPT’s. I guess i’m seeing Link Posts: Event because that’s a default CPT and displaying in the “predefined fields”. I’m assuming that if I create more CPT’s they will also appear in the Predefined fields?

    I remember now actually going to the document you referred to earlier today before I posted this, not sure it was for this though. It doesn’t mention the predefined fields or the words “Link Posts” so I must have looked right past it. This idea of Linking Posts, I guess initially I was thinking it would be found somewhere else, not under CPT. But, now it makes sense. It’s new, maybe the word “New” would help older users like me zone in on things like this because I’m not sure much else is different about CPT’s… 🙂 And, I may have overlooked this too, but if I’m correct, it would be great if the documentation explained that new CPT’s will be added to the predefined fields.

    This reminds me of when verbiage changes between things how confusing it can get. Either the documentation ideally would say “Link Posts:” or the predefined field would say “Linked CPT”. Kind of like plugins ideally would be named the same way as they appear in the download area of the site (something I’m reminded of every time I have to deal with the plugins). Sometimes the little things that help a lot 🙂

    This Linked Posts seems like a super awesome feature!!! I look forward to the possibilities with it. I can see using this in some powerful ways! Thanks for your patience!

    I just familiarized myself with the documentation better. I was coming to it from google searches or links via the forum. This made it seem like the documentation was all over the place. But it actually is organized very well. It could be more elaborate or detailed at least and maybe have videos throughout but I imagine it may evolve over time.

    MY LESSON LEARNED
    I had forgotten about the “help” drop down under the GD Dashboard. But, even still, that initial page is rather intimidating at first. But if anyone in the future is reading this I could have potentially found this by clicking on that Help drop down at the top right corner of the GD dash and then clicking the link inside of the sentence “Should you need help understanding, using, or extending GeoDirectory, please read our documentation”. There is a search field at the top of that says “search GeoDirectory V2 Documentation” and putting in “Link Posts” as it appears could have got me to the CPT’s documentation. 🙂 I’ll have to try that more often!
