Support node reference

Isn't that already handled by the nodereference module itself?

Node reference does not automatically display the content or fields of a referenced node, so there is a lot of room for other modules to make node reference fields display in more usable ways. Just my two cents.

. . .and, I was just sent over here from the CCK issue queue at http://drupal.org/node/540504 . I have a need for the following feature for nodereference.module:

Ability to hide the title and byline in the Display Fields. A drop down option for "Node Body Only" and "Node Teaser Body Only" would accomplish this for me. Control over other CCK fields would also be helpful.

On my nodereference, I get a "Full Node" and "Teaser" formatter out of the box. I don't see what the issue is here.

I don't want the full node or the teaser. I want the body only.

Thanks scottrigby, your clarification explains what I am looking for. In my immediate case, Full node (no title) and Teaser (no title) would do exactly what I want. However, more flexibility may be helpful in the future like selecting or omitting different CCK fields, as you have inferred.

Configuration is sadly not really available, due in part to the complete and utter lack of per-formatter-usage configuration in CCK. I don't believe that's solved in Drupal 7, either. Any other configuration would be out of band and site-wide, which makes it not very useful.

scottrigby's suggestion of using viewreference and nodereference together is a reasonable one at this point. I'm not against a nodereference mirror to all of the textformatter formatters, but that's probably large enough to warrant its own module.

Using viewfield and nodereferenced nid as an argument is a good thought, but that won't work for me in this particular case. Is it possible to have a token, like [field_nodereference-body]? That might accomplish what I need.

Ignore my last comment. #9-10 above helped me solve my problem afterall. I tried using a "view reference field" pointing to a view I created with a node body field. The argument was set up to be the Node Reference "node link." This didn't yield anything in my node display. I also tried using a relationship for Node Reference node link but still no luck there.

I'm not sure if I had something set up incorrectly. In any case, I stumbled upon the module http://drupal.org/project/nodereference_views This immediately worked for displaying what I wanted to see. I cloned the supplied view from the module and included a single field for Node:body and made it an Style:Unformatted display. Then, using AutoNodetitle I inserted the token [field_node_link-title] for the title. When creating the node, I used a different menu location.

Now I'm happy! Everything came out perfect with this. The breadcrumbs show the new location, yet the content is all from a different node. What I have is a phantom node (i.e. mirror or symlink node). The reason this is important to me, is so I can use the exact same content in 2 or more places in the menu structure. One serves as the anchor that can be edited, and the other a mirror.

Coincidentally, I also added a note that is only visible to admins or other roles (through permissions) that links to the original field when viewing the phantom node. I did this in the form of cck field link (http://drupal.org/project/link ) with a default value of [field_node_link-url] for the link and "This is a mirror of Node [field_node_link-nid]" as a static title (requires token module).

I know there is already a NodeSymlinks module still in development ( http://drupal.org/project/nodesymlinks ), that I had originally considered to accomplish this task. The approach I've listed may be a better approach because it is more flexible. . .or maybe not. I haven't tried out the other module. My approach does require several modules though, but fortunately I already had most of these installed already. Anyway, this is an alternative that may have some upsides compared to dealing with a single module to accomplish the task.

There is also another development module http://drupal.org/project/multiple_node_menu , but this currently lacks breadcrumb and pathauto distinctions.

Thanks for the help, especially scottrigby

It is very important for me!
