Getting started

The Entity Reference Module is used to relate entities (nodes, terms, users, etc.) within an entity.

Why Use Entity Reference

Entity Reference is a fantastic module to build relationships between entities in Drupal. An example of a relationship would be:

• A taxonomy term associated with a user account.
• A parent content that references a child content element.

It is also less-taxing on Views (see https://www.drupal.org/node/1156822 for more information).

Installation & Usage

1. Download the recommended release at http://drupal.org/project/entityreference and install. You will also need to download and install Entity API http://drupal.org/project/entity and Chaos Tool Suite http://drupal.org/project/ctools.
2. Enable all three modules.
3. Create new content types with entity reference fields.
