[support] HELP! with Views and relational data

[KOBA | Hans Rossel]

Hi,
If you are using views 2 you can use nodereference or userreference in cck
and then use views relationships to make a join between the content types
and have all data available. The book Using Drupal has a case study how to
build an attendance tracking system with Drupal (and with the flag module
instead of signup module) which is allmost exactly the one you want (I
think).

If the data you calculate on with a computed field changes, you have to
resubmit the node to recalculate. Computed field does not automatically
updates its value, which is for me a big disadvantage of the field.

Good luck,

Hans
