Node Reference Create is an enhancement to the nodereference autocomplete widget that allows users to reference non-existent nodes.
When no matching node is selected, the new nodes are automatically created allowing for a seamless and intuitive user experience that is similar to free tagging.
Usage
Field configuration
Once the module is activated, a new widget will appear in the manage fields page. Select the nodereference field, and then choose 'nodereference autocomplete with create' from the widgets list.
Known bugs and incompatibilities
- There is no way to select which node type will be automatically created if more than one are selected. see http://drupal.org/node/584316
- Nodes are created on node preview (see Avoiding duplicate entries when form is submitted twice for a solution.
- If the list of nodes that can be referenced is created by a view rather than a node type, view filters may prevent this from working.
