Hi!

I just installed Nodereferrer Create and got it to work:
You have to add the Node Referrers field to your content type. There you can set the title for the tab, the content types that can be created and node references you want to use.

In your node there should be a third tab now for adding related nodes. So, basically its a shortcut to the create content menu link. The node reference does not seem to work right for me, though.

Hi!
It works also fine for me, and, as you say, it creates a fine link to content creation form.
But, when we use this third create tab and display the related node form, can't we have the nodereference Autocomplete Text Field already filled?
-> No, you have to use a "select" control for this nodereference field

I must be blind. I cannot see the Node Referrers field to my content type. I can only see the Node Reference field.

The node referrer field appears when you "add field" to a content type. I made a screenshot. It is at the bottom of the list. Can you see that when you try to add a field to a content type?

(NB: I got this far with this module, but I can't figure out to get the "referees" to display on the referenced node. If you have any advice eggthing, i'd like to hear!)

Any idea on how to get this to work?

I can't get this thing to work in any way shape or form. I have two content types:

Donor

Furniture

Donor has a node referrer field set on it, with an allowable node type of Furniture.

I have nodereferrer and nodereferrer_create enabled but nothing happens when I go to create content->Donor. All I see is the donor content, no tabs, no nothing.

Any clues would be appreciated.

Best,

Dick Munroe

For your Donor:
Add a Node Referrers field.
Label: Furniture
Field_donor_ref
Type of Data to Store: Node Referrers

For your Furniture:
Add a Node reference
Label: Reference
field_furniture_ref
Type of Data Node Reference
Widget Type: Select List

create and go into the configuration settings and under content type that can be referenced chose Donor.

Now go back to your Donor Content Type and in the configuration for the field Furniture (node referrers) check off furniture (under referring Node Types) and Field_furniture_ref (under Referring Fields)

Then it should work. You should have a "create related content" tab on your Donors and when you click the tab it should say Furniture. It's confusing because you have to go back and forth editing your 2 content types a few times. Hope this helps,

Also - just in case that wasn't the issue, you have to create a Donor and save it. Once you have a Donor node the tab will appear on that node. Hope this makes sense. You have to crate the Donor node and then you can create the Furniture node from it.
