Hello there,

i wanted to propose a couple of features that could make this already great module even more useful.

I am using the Node Reference Create module within the context of a database of persons.

The module successfully creates new or references existing nodes. If it creates the entry, it is empty and published by default.

It would be great

- either not to immediately publish the still empty nodes that are referenced,

- or to list the nodes that were created by noderefcreate.

Like this one could have an overview over nodes that are still empty.

Eventually it would be even better to create a reference for content to be created as possible with the freelinking module.

I had this ideas in the context of my drupal wiki that i am running with wikitools and freelinking. With the freelinking module i can designate a key words in the text body with double brackets as content that needs to be created. These references can be seen in a list and in a block in order to know which content still needs to be created. When somebody clicks on the link he can choose amongst different content types with which he wants to create his content which would be another very useful feature.

Hope somebody shares these considerations.

Best Regards

sdk

This can be set in the cck settings under 'workflow options' or if you would like to use more complex controls, the rules module would be ideal.

This is basically what view is for.
I think what would work well here is some links to the views documentation on setting up complex views with nodereferences. I'll put that on the project page or in a README.

-- Freelinking
The main difference between parsing the text body and entering text into predifined fields is that they are separated. I understand your interest in putting nodereferences inside the text body, but I'm not sure how to do that.
