Insert cross-references between posts or pages and get all back references automatically.

== Description ==
With this plugin you can easily set a reference to another post or page in posts und pages and you get all back references automatically listed for every post and page.

* Forward links. When writing your posts, you can refer to other posts or pages by their slug, like so: [cref hello-world]. This is shown at the blog as the title of post hello-world with a link to it. (You can also use post numerical ID instead of post slugs.)
  
* Back links. You get automatically a list of all the posts and pages that link to the current post or page at the end of each entry. (For a greater control over this list you can optionally customize your templates).

== Installation ==
1. Download the crossreferences.zip file and entpack it.
1. Upload the 'cross-references-plugin' directory as '/wp-content/plugins/cross-references-plugin'.
1. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress.
1. Optionally, go to the dashboard / Options / Cross-references page in order to adjust some settings.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Are references automatically updated whenever the refered/referer post title changes? =

Yes, since the title of the post is read dynamically when it is shown.

= What happens if I delete a post to which there are references? =

All links will be removed from the referer posts, but their text (possibly the title of the removed post) will remain unchanged.

= What happens if I set a references to a draft/pending/private post? =

No links will be shown on the referer posts (just possibly the title of the hidden post) until it is made public. The hidden post will also not appear at the back links list from other posts. The same happens if you set a reference to a published post and then you hide it. 

== Change Log ==
1.3-beta1 3/26/2008
Support for post slugs additionally to post ids for referring to posts. (This can be changed on a blog with already existing references.)
Support for related post list automatically shown at the end of each post/page without changing any templates.
New utility "rebuild" repairs all errors at the crossreferences table (needed for example if the plugin was some time inactive).
New options page to adjust settings and run utilities.
XML export can be now configured to show up references unchanged (as [cref ...]), as html links or as mere titles.
Known bugs: After a page slug change the references to it break (because of unexpected WP behavior, internal plugin redesign needed)
