Description
I'm confused about the usage of this module. When i try to write a contestant name, autocomplete adds ":[nodeid]" at the end of the name. For example it becomes:
Heroes:[150]
Lost:[83]
I thought that it just works this way, but it didn't. Then i deleted the auto-added parts leaving only "Heroes" and "Lost", but again it didn't work. At the end i just wrote those ids and it worked. I think, using numbers is not a user-friendly and intuitive way. And therefore, i wonder if this is the way it supposed to work. I mean, if it can find those ids, it can also use them at the back-end letting the user just work with node names. Am i wrong?
#1
It should just work with the appended :[#]
This is similar to how node reference fields work in cck, except the format there is [nid:#]
An ideal solution would definatly be to just use node titles, except how do you deal with this when you have two nodes with the same title?
#2
Thanks for response. In my case, module works when only node-id is entered. "Note-title:[node-id]" doesn't work. Is it possible that clean-urls interfere with the module? I don't know what else may cause this. I may provide you a test account, if you need to check it yourself.
When it comes to deal with identical node-titles, Note-title:[node-id] is ok for me. But as i mentioned above, it didn't work that way. Anyway, i think using concatenated node-ids doesn't solve this problem for users since users can't learn node-ids when the cleanurls are enabled (i'm not sure this one). Perhaps adding author names may be a better option.

Clean urls would not interfere. If you'd like to provide me a test account to check this out, please contact me through my contact form (http://drupal.org/user/59025/contact)
And FYI, node id's can still access node ids with clean urls enabled by going to /node/# ;)
Author names would still not solve the problem as the same author could still create two different nodes with the same title of the same type.
#4
I've pm'ed you a test account.
You're right about the author name. I just thought it would be a small probability for someone to write posts with identical titles. What about node creation date? :)
#5
the fix in #207459 should fix this
#6
Thanks to your fixes, all the filtering, content body, human readable names are ok. But node-title:[node-id] still doesn't work for me. I reopen this issue.
You might have seen the error reports at my site, but i'll copy them here:
