Hey everyone,

I've loved this module in Drupal 6 and was just wondering if any work has begun on a Drupal 7 port....

Thanks,
Ben

Not yet, no.

I'm not sure there's any point doing much until nodereference appears for D7 -- I don't even know if it's going to be part of a slimmed-down CCK for D7, or a standalone project.

Hi joachim,

Thanks for the note and the update. Here's a link to some more information on Node Reference in Drupal 7 CCK:

http://drupal.org/node/658150

Good news... It looks like nodereference has just been committed (a couple of days ago) to the 7.x-2.x-dev branch of CCK.

Cheers,
Ben

Aha! Thanks for digging that up.

I note this though: #690478: Maintainer needed for D7 versions of nodereference / userreference.

And see also the patch in this module's issue queue for userref support. I am still in two minds whether to turn this module into *any*referenceviews -- but what CCK does will affect this decision, as if the *ref modules go into separate projects then similarly, userrefviews should be its own module.

I for one will wait for the dust to settle a bit... if you want to forge ahead and write a patch, I'll start a tentative 7--1 branch, but I'll hold off releasing anything until there's something fixed on the CCK front.

Well it looks like the way forward is http://drupal.org/project/references, but also http://drupal.org/project/relation.

I'm afraid I don't have time to work on this, as I'm still using D7 for projects I work on :(

Perhaps the subscribers to this issue can get the ball rolling?

Subscribing. If a get a chance to sit down and learn the ins and outs of porting a module to D7, I'd give this a crack.

joachim’s picture

I'm working on a new version of the D6; might want to hold off on a D7 port till you see this, as there are a number of improvements :)

joachim’s picture

Moving this issue to the new version of the module. Note the new project page: http://drupal.org/project/reference_views

All my changes are in so if anyone wants a crack at the D7 version, go for it! :)

Title: Drupal 7 port » Drupal 7 port of Reference Views

Updating title for tracker... hopefully this is okay with joachim :)

joachim’s picture

Yup, that does make it easier in the general tracker.

I sooo look forward to this module in D7. Being able to output the referenced node in a View table is so much better than the current default of just showing the node-title link. Happy to test, but can't code for toffee, sorry.

any update on this? thanks

@joachim et all, I am going to talk this on for Drupal 7 unless someone is already working on it. I basically was doing this in custom code in Drupal 7 b/c I had not found this module.

My plan is make it work with the References module: http://drupal.org/project/references

Hopefully it will be able to support other modules later.

joachim’s picture

Hi tedbow. That's great news!

If you're at DrupalCon London next week, look me up and we can maybe do a bit of work on this :)

bib_boy’s picture

Hi tedbow

any news on this module for Drupal 7? Happy to test as very keen to see it out there.

thanks

joachim’s picture

I spotted this http://drupal.org/project/node_reference_view_formatter but haven't had time to properly look at it and see if it's a duplicate module.

If anyone has time, please add your findings to #1295090: Duplicate module?. Thanks!

bib_boy’s picture

Yes, this appears to work in a similar (if not the same) way to 'reference views'. Also I don't think though you need to make the view the same name as the node-reference field which is a bonus.

That's already changed in the new version of this module :)

Note: I tried out Node Reference View Formatter, hoping to find a solution for D7 (as I really like using Reference Views in D6) -- but I haven't been able yet to get NRVF to give me a View of just the nodes that are referenced; instead, it gives me a View of all the nodes, just as if it's a View Reference.

So a D7 port of Reference Views would be greatly welcomed.

I'm working on this.

Encountered a fun issue with field info / view info. Leaving a note to myself to draw inspiration from #1438278: Latest dev crashes Drupal to fix this.

subscribe, i hope this module will be ported soon

FWIW, we switched to the http://drupal.org/project/node_reference_view_formatter module and it works for node references.

joachim’s picture

Anyone interested in this on D7, do feel free to lend a hand. Drupal code only moves forward when people contribute :)

Ok, I am going to unassign this from myself as I have other contrib projects that are taking up my time. sorry I had forgotten about this one

This 2 modules are my recommended solution: https://drupal.org/project/entityreference (66402 sites currently report using this module, already in D8 core) and https://drupal.org/project/entityreference_views_formatter for "Reference Views" module feature.

Here is how to set up a "entityreference_views_formatter" view:
