Hi,

I have an existing content type called company. From the company I want to be able to create and refer to a new content type - sheetnode.
i.e. when I click on create new sheet, it should show the new sheet node in a new page and when I save it, the control should come back to the company page.

I looked at a few different modules including Popups: Add and Reference. The problem with Popups is that the sheetnode content type does not show up there. Moreover, I do not want this as a popup functionality. I want a simple solution where I can create a new node from within a node and it gets referenced from the existing node.

This looks like a basic requirement and after spending several hours I am not able to find a straight forward way to do this. Any help, suggestions would be appreciated.

thanks
Manish

Hi Manish,

This is something I need as well. Thanks for pointing me to http://drupal.org/project/popups_reference, that looks like a possible alternative.

$text = t('Add sheet');
$path = 'node/add/sheet';
$options = array(
  'query' => array(
    'destination' => $_GET['q']
  )
);
l($text, $path, $options);

doing that on say, http://www.example.com/node/27, that link will go to http://www.example.com/node/add/sheet?destination=node/27, which should present u with the sheet content type form, and after submitting that, it should bring u back where u came from
