I need the inverse of "node reference views"
Long ago I implemented the technique listed here for "Displaying related nodes using Views and Contemplate"
http://drupal.org/node/134320
It worked well but was large and cumbersome and I have now moved on to drupal 6.
I am trying to display a node, with all of it's fields as usual. Additionally, it should display all of the nodes (full or teaser) which have referenced it.
So I have towns, and I have movie theaters. Inside of the movie theater node I select the town, and then when I view the town it shows the theater node as well.
Fairly simple to explain, but I would love to find a better way to solve than I have previously used. Node reference views seems to allow me to select the movie theater from with the town node, but I am looking for the opposite.
No, my site is not about towns and movie theaters... I think that was done already.
Thanks for your help.
Try the nodereferrer
Try the nodereferrer module
http://drupal.org/project/nodereferrer
http://drupal.org/node/431308 (documentation)
Since nodereferred is a dev version, you may need to keep an eye on its issues queue. I see in its stats that that several people have been using it.
Check also http://drupal.org/project/nodereferrer_create in case you find it useful.
Or, if you have installed Views in Drupal 6, notice the "backlinks" view in admin/build/views. It does not rely on a nodereference field but on Drupal search (which should includes nodereference's ouput).
Mr. Rusty, Nodereferrer is
Mr. Rusty,
Nodereferrer is precisely the missing link that I was looking for. No matter how many times I page through the modules list, I always seem to miss the one I am looking for.
Thank you for this.
Mr. Pyle.
In case you haven't settled
In case you haven't settled on nodereferrer yet, just today I noticed this module with an example in its project page which seems relevant:
