I'm looking to group (possibly not best term) a story and poll node together. I want to have a poll node attached to a specific story node and have the ability to go forward/back through the stories (webcomic style) and have the appropriate poll appear along with it.

I'm pretty new at Drupal, so any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Doesn't a poll node allow a body to describe it?

Otherwise, if it has to be all stories with the descriptions, you could use a nodereference CCK field to attach a poll to a story.

Using the CCK module, I'm able to link a poll with the appropriate story, but I'm not seeing a way to automatically get them to load together. As it is, CCK lets me do something like this:

Story

You can click on the link and it will load a page that has the look I want. It looks like this:

Poll

The two are tied together appropriately, but I would like them to load together on one page, not two.

Ideas?

P.S. There's not really a big body to describe a poll with. There's only the title, which cuts off after X characters (though that could probably be expanded).

Look in the display settings for the CCK field -- you can set it to show the full node IIRC.

That'll do it, thanks. I still have some other problems to work out, but that gets me a big step forward.

See ya around, Joachim.
