How to easily append bookpages to eachother
Hello, i'm trying to build a news portal with drupal. What i'm doing is import different news articles from the internet and i publish them on the homepage.
What i would like to do is to easily append related newsarticles to one main article; for example: if their are 4 articles talking about the samen thing i would append it to another article using books.
Books is very good when you don't have a lot of items. In my "book", i have put all the newsarticles together and i'm using a view to see different articles. The problem of this method is when i have 200 articles in the book, it's very difficult to take an existing node and append it to that article because i would lose a lot of time scrolling in that list.
Can anybody help me? Is there a possibility to append a node directely to another node using its node number?
Node reference, perhaps
You can try to see if node reference (part of http://drupal.org/project/cck) fits your needs. You can't (as far as I know) refer to nodes by number, but you can use an autocomplete field (or a drop down meny, but that just gives you the same problem as the book, I suppose).
Thank you for the reply. I
Thank you for the reply. I have thought about that too but i came back to the same problem then.
Isn't possible to append a node to a (futur) parent node just by outlining it just using the node number? Or is it easy to modify the "outline" part of books so that i'm able to enter the parent node number? In each node when seeing it, i see now the option "outline" where i can chose a parent book..
