Description
hi,
I'm trying to construct a carousel block that will display the latest nodes from a particular nodereference field. But views cariousel does not work here because it seems to regard all the nodereference items as a single field, rather than a compilation of nodes.
This is either a bug, in which case I'm kindly requesting that you add support for nodereferences as being separate items,
or
I'm not doing something right in terms of relationship, arguments and fields (which is unlikely because I've just done another similar non-carousel block)
Many thanks
#1
Views Carousel is just a way to present a view. It doesn't decide what shows up in your view. This is a views support question.
#2
And Views does not implement the nodereference handler :)
#3
Multiple value fields also expose the delta key to views, so you could use it to filter by delta, but... you can only filter by an arbitrary number, not latest deltas in a multiple value field. So I'm afraid what you want is not possible without some kind of coding magic.

There is not enough information to help you here.
You should carefully explain precisely what it is you're trying to accomplish, what it is you're actually getting, and paste an export of the view you're using. Perhaps then someone can help.
From my guess, what you want to start with is a node reference relationship (listed under content) and a node: nid argument, though. Most of the fields you will then display attached to the relationship, and the argument will be the node that you're getting other nodes related to.
