Hi,
as I am more of a "php & mysql do it yourself"-guy I would like to ask a quite general question: how do I implement N:N relations with drupal nodes?
Just imagine three entities: "organisation", "Article" and "Theme" (this are NOT drupaö Terminology, just generic names).
Normaly, to connect these three entities I would create a table that contains Org-ID, Article-ID and Thema-ID, that would enable me to create "Organisation X writes an Article on Theme X" Relations.
How would one do this with drupal?
Thank you very much for your attention!

search for node relationship
search for node relationship here and you'll find all sorts of stuff. Modules like clipper.module, playlist.module, and node relativity basically use the same principles. A new coordinated relationship API is being built so if you are a coder that would be the best help you could give.
