custom taxonomy relationship

Question

I'm customizing wordpress by creating several taxonomies for a website.

Actually, I created 'Services' custom post type with several taxonomy in it. Then, I'm going to create 'Case History' custom post type where I'd like to re-use 'Service' posts.

I can show them on the backend (Case History add new item) by using WP_Query, but I had problems in saving them. So i've this doubt: is it possible to create a relationship between two different taxonomies? Is it possible to do that? Maybe I'm wrong somewhere ...

update: maybe it would be better if I explain this question this way. Can i use a custom post type ('Service') as a taxonomy inside another custom post type ('Custom post type') ?

update2: thx guys. I did solve my problem by using this plugin (cpt onomies)

Answer 1

Taxonomies can be shared among multiple post types, but if you're looking for post types relationships, you can try using the Types plugin (free) with the Views plugin (premium) or code the functionality from Types. I've just started playing around with this and it enables easy creation of relationships between post types.

Their example: you can have post types Cars and People and use post type Rental Agreement to link the two in many-to-many or one-to-many relationships.

This plugin might fit your needs if you're willing to simply relate 1 post type's post(s) to another post type's post(s). I'm not sure if it is exactly what you need, but it has been immensely helpful to me. There's a lot of power here: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/posts-to-posts/
