Hi everyone,

I'm looking for a specific tagging solution that must have come up before, yet I can't find a solution for it.

Let me describe what I'm looking for. Let's say you have a site about music. You definde Band-Profiles with a lot of infos on the Bands you like.

Later you blog about them. How do you tag those posts with the Profiles you created earlier on?

example:

Profile for the Band OASIS is Node 123
Blogpost on their upcoming Tour is Node 234 and that Post should be tagged with the Tag OASIS (Node 123)

In return, I'd like to be able to list all posts tagged with OASIS (Node 123) on that Profile-Page (Node 123)

Confusing, but I hope you get what I'm aiming for.

You say you're defining band profiles (I assume in advance), so why not create a vocabulary with the band names as terms? You can then make the vocabulary apply to stories, blogs, etc. so that who ever creates the content can assign it. Then you can create a View (or your own module) to pull everything together. The Panels and Node Queue modules might also be useful for you.

I'm feeling extra lazy so I won't search the links, but just look in the modules section. You can not use tabs and just use a cck reference field that works just like tags and would link to the node. Or you can use a combo by using the NAT (Nodes as Terms) module and a term will be created for each band profile if it is a custom CCK node type.

Could you (or somebody else) explain this to me, please? I don't get it.
I can use nodes as terms, that work just like "real" terms? Might my dreams become true? How's that possible?
