Hello,
I'm looking to achieve cross-linking two different content-types with one another and was wondering if it's possible. I know by using taxonomy, I can add tags and such to perform a similar function, but I would like to keep tags separates from this function.
My site consists of news, album reviews, and anything else pertaining to music in general. What I basically want to do is to link these news posts to an artist. In addition though, I want the artists to have their own independent profiles that will be published via a content-type.
I was wondering if there is anyway to achieve this function of linking an article to an existing artist page while the node is being created? I've noticed that taxonomy includes an Ajax search function that searches existing tags. This would be of specifying content and making things more organized and relevant.
An example of what I'm looking to achieve:
Title: Name of Article
Artist: Name of Artist that article relates to (e.g., No Doubt, Mariah Carey, etc.)
Body: Description of Article
Tags: Tags regarding article (e.g., gossip, news, rumors)
Comments
Can this be done with CCK w/ Connect.module?
I was looking into CCK and was wondering if the Connect.module (http://drupal.org/project/connect) would be able to achieve this somehow? It seems like it can connect "Parent" nodes to "Participant" nodes, so this sounds like it may work.
Would I be able to assign any Content-Type as a "Parent" node and somehow cross-linking them together? Furthermore, is there a better method to achieve this than with Connect.module?
Quite new to the
Quite new to the architecture of Drupal. Does anybody know of any modules out there that can achieve this the most efficiently and effectively as possible?
Is the best way to do this
Is the best way to do this just to add a custom field and a node reference?
