a gamechanger

Really interesting stuff, especially the picker.

Awesome work! Powerful! Definitely a game-changer!

Yes yes yes. When it matures, when the full potential of integration with views, contexts & rules is reached and when the already interesting UI becomes smooth and intuitive, I can see Relation being up there with Views etc as a major reason behind decisions to choose Drupal for major projects.

When it matures, people are going to come up with really interesting stuff using Relation. There's definitely potential for innovations in publishing and e-commerce, and potential for nifty little features based on applying lessons learnt in social and CRM to broader uses.

There are already little things I see people doing with Relation that make me laugh out loud that something so simple and sensible was never standard in CMSes and required cumbersome workarounds or hard-writing into content... like the issue about including the same image or file but with different captions on different pages... or my own one about saying why a piece of recommended content recommended on page X is recommended on page X... But little things like this barely scratch the surface.

yeah, it would be an excellent solution in a variety of situations. i enjoyed trying it out and hope i can help contribute more in the future.

Relation has the capacity to significantly influence content management as we know it, and will be a catalyst for great things. Big things.

awsome module!

Awesome awesome awesome. Thank you!

rafamd’s picture

chx, seems you were not mistaken when naming the module 'awesome relatinoships' remember ?? jeje

(yes, that was the original module name before sanitization, je)

timofey’s picture

so far, loving the logic behind it!

chalkboard’s picture

this is obviously a great module, lots of ideas and possibilities behind it.
Relation+Views should be a successful tandem in the near future.
Thanks a lot for your work!

Potentially awesome, indeed :)

Thanks to the Relation authors. I can certainly see how this will be a big shift in the way we have content connect. It seems like an important part of any Content Management system.

I hope to follow along in the issue queues and help out where I can.

Thank you for creating this module, i really enjoy using it, since it gives some warmth to the normally cold administrative tasks, since what is more fun than defining relations? I like this more than Facebook! And it has a huge potential to crush CiviCRM, if you ask me.

Thank you to the Relation maintainers! I think this is going to be very useful for a site I am hoping to create.

I am very excited by the possibilities this module creates. The rules integration opens up a lot of possibilities and I like what is being developing with the views integration. Great work!!!

Yorgg’s picture

I think it may be the new way to do social networking in Drupal.
I have been looking for this functionality in organic groups.
It looks like the facebook relationship features.
Great work and good luck, I would love to see this in Drupal8 core.

I bow down to you as web gods. Relations really strengthen Drupal as a framework.

deryck.henson’s picture

Probably saved my entire project with this one module.

I just need to upgrade ctools now so I can continue to utilize it (been using it directly from views).

Thank you all :)

I am told everything Relation does can be can also be done with Entity Construction Kit and Entity Reference. Or if not yet, it could be done. So, this party is over.

There is definitely overlap between Entity Reference and Relation, especially if you create a new relation entity type with ECK. But that doesn't stop Relation being an awesome module, nor the work on Relation being appreciated. (So there.)

I'll add my praise too because I fell in love with Relation. Looking forward to see this mature more and more.

We are aiming at our company to start using it in several projects. I love it.

lukus’s picture

Just starting to learn about relation - looks pretty good. Thanks to maintainers!

kelvinleehk’s picture

Thank you so much for the great work!

pauleb’s picture

I just started to watch Johan Falks screencast series about relations and as I watch on I can't remember how I lived without it! So many ideas and usecases are building up in my brain.

Thank you so much!!

carajito’s picture

This is what I was looking for.
The awesome solution to make better and more ease sistems

Thanks so much

vanvemden’s picture

Hallelujah! Great job on the module! And I would not know how to use it without Johan's screencast. Thank you all!

santam’s picture

Relations, Views, Panels and Rules + Drupal allows even a novice like me to build a complete professional site from the scratch. And thanks to you too Itangalo for the professional screencast series at Nodeone

adellefrank’s picture

I can't tell you how long I've been looking for something JUST LIKE THIS for complicated content type interrelations. Thanks, y'all!

And, yes, a big thanks also to Itangalo for the screencast series at Nodeone.

Great work!

Yeah, great work!
I found here the same thickness relations-wise as is there in Social Network Analysis and RDF linked data stuff.
This is really great!
Thank you very much!
