In looking at the videos on this module by Lullabot and Mustardseed Media, I notice that the nodereference field is on the listed node type pointing back to the primary node type (i.e. image pointing back to gallery). Can this be used the other way around? For instance, I have a Contest node, and I have a nodereference field that points to the Entry nodes that are entered in that contest. If I was doing it in the method of the videos, the nodereference field would be on the Entry nodes instead. Can this work doing it the way I have it set up, or will it only work the other way around?

Thanks.

If you're doing it that way, you're probably better off just using a formatter on the nodereference field itself.

If you really want to use this module, you can have an Argument field of Node:nid, which gets you the node you're on. Then from there have a Relationship on the Noderef to the nodes being pointed to. Then add fields based on that relationship.

i thought one advantage to this (i.e. what poster is looking for and what Crell explains how to do with related fields) would be that you could get the attached view to auto update on the node edit form after submitting the referenced node form (as per http://vimeo.com/7908830) but i don't think this works.. or at least haven't sorted out how it is supposed to yet.

another limitation is that this can't be placed in a field group - which for my app i would have worked around had the auto refresh worked.

sorry.. just re-opened as sort of asking if the things above that i mentioned are true.. i understand the field group limitation.. so mostly asking about the ahah refresh.

AHAH refresh is totally unrelated to what's being discussed here. There's currently no AHAH integration in views_attach beyond what the style plugin you use may support.

Please don't reopen closed issues.
