Is it possible to associate existing terms with existing nodes?
Like a cck node reference?

Hi more details to my suggestion.

It would be cool to associate existing terms with existing nodes.
So I had the idea for an NAT association manager.

1) Admin > Site Config. > NAT

(Please have a look at the first image)

There all Terms are listed, grouped by their Vocabulary.
Each term has a input field to associate a node.
It is empty if no association.
To make one, enter the title of the node.

2) Admin > Site Config. > Taxonomy > Term

(Please have a look at the second image)

It would be handy to see the association on the "term" page as well.
Functionality is the same as in the "association manager" on the NAT page.

Please let me know what you think.

I think this would improve the user-friendliness,
and allow people to re-associate terms and nodes.

Or, if they install the NAT module on an existing site,
they don't have to recreate all taxonomy terms to get the NAT relations.

I think it is wonderful idea.

Only problem can be with Manage Association tab when taxonomy has too many terms, so page can get really big.

Do you have it working or it is only picture now?

I will be definitely interested to commit it to NAT-ng module as it is very useful feature.

Hi anantagati,
At the moment, it's only a picture, as I don't have the proper coding skills.

Yes, if there are many terms, probably it would be a heavy page load...
Maybe it could be done like (or with) views, with exposed filters to limit the list to one vocabulary at once.

Or maybe you have also an idea?

NAT is a great module. And it I would be great if we can bring a little more transparency to the node relation structure.

I think for beginning will be enough to make it like in picture nat_term-admin_0.png. And maybe add similar field to node edit form.
