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
- 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.
- Enable all three modules.
- Create new content types with entity reference fields.
