Add Custom Post Type Parent-Child Relationship Like "Page" Post Type
/**
* Source: http://justintadlock.com/archives/2013/10/07/post-relationships-parent-to-child
* Improved by Kharis Sulistiono
* Improvements:
* - Add "Select Relation" option
* - Add else conditional when no post created.
*
* To make that code works, make sure your post type supports custom meta box by adding 'register_meta_box_cb'
*
* From the code above, the CPT has to able to call a metabox callback function 'my_add_meta_boxes':
*
* 'register_meta_box_cb' => 'my_add_meta_boxes'
*
