How to create relationship between post types

Hi everybody and Zac Gordon, I'm trying to create a Complex Custom Post Type, when I say complex it's because, I need connect multiple Custom Post Types in just One. Could anybody give any advice to create this CPT in WordPress?

What kind of relationship? More context here would be helpful for me.

Hi Kevin, well, I need create a relationship between two CPT, for example, I have a CPT named Products and other CPT named Type Product, I need to relate Products with Type Product, to specify what type of product is my product. I hope be clear, thank you.

You could create a Relationship Custom Post Type, add metas to post which contain the IDs of the other Custom Post Posts. So you will have all the Relationship posts with the different other Custom Posts references and you could get back these Ids with a get_post_meta.

Hope this will help ;)

cheers
