Description

Hello,
I really like the module, but was wondering if there was an easy way of adding a field of the character played by the actor that was linked to the actors name.

Eg.
Die Hard

Bruce Willis as John McClane

Both 'Bruce Willis' and 'John McClane' would be clickable ('Willis' takes you to Bruce Willis's filmography, 'McClane' takes you to a page which lists all of the actors who have played the character 'John McClane' with the film title as well).

I understand the basic principle, I'd need to replicate the relationship between the character and actor and the movie, but feel a bit intimidated by this! As a relative newcome to Drupal, I will attempt this, but if any one has done something like this and wants to give me any pointers, I'd be very grateful!!

My major concerns are how to create the link between the character and the actor (and film), the rest should be surely relatively straightforward.

Many thanks,

Ian

I was having the same kind of datamodeling problem until I found the splendid flexifield module. http://drupal.org/project/flexifield
