Hello,
I'm setting up 3 different post-types:
SHOWS:
With Subcategories for Plays, Music, Comedy, etc and fields for location, price, dates, etc.
REVIEWS:
Also with Subcategories for genre.
WHOSWHO
A database of entertainers.
The relationships have to accommodate for the following situations:
THE MOST BASIC NEEDS:
A:
A user looks up a SHOW, and inside the view template is called up both the SHOW and REVIEW info.
B:
A user looks up a REVIEW, and inside the view template is called up both the SHOW and REVIEW info.
ULTIMATELY I'D LIKE:
A:
A user looks up a SHOW, and inside the view template is called up both the SHOW and REVIEW info — plus related WHOSWHO data.
B & C are the same, calling up REVIEWS or a PERSON/WHOSWHO will bring in related data.
THE QUESTION:
I'm not sure if this is easier to set up and a many-to-many relationship, or if it's better to have a field in any one of them that hard-links it to the others? I'm also not sure how I would go about setting up a many-to-many since all of these are of equal importance?
I hope I'm being clear, happy to share more info.
