[support] Adjust Node Reference Display Link

[Andy Fowlston]

Hi Fred,

If I understand you correctly, this should work.

1. Use pathauto so that all your author nodes' paths are author/[name].
2. Modify your view so that the argument is the author's nid.
3. Set the default value of the argument to be pulled from URL.
4. Make the view visible on author pages by using a block with visibility author/*.

I think that would work; dunno if it's the best way.

A.

Subject: [support] Adjust Node Reference Display Link

On a Drupal 6 news site, each article has a CCK field called author
which is a node reference. On an article page it says:

Author: Fred

and then links to my author node, i.e. node/6 or whatever. We now made
a very nice View called author/% so author/Fred shows a list of all my
articles. I would like that link on the author page to go to my new
author/Fred page not my node/6 page.

My ideas were:

1. Setup a forward (stupid idea)
2. Parse the content of articles and find that link and change it (not so great)
3. I saw once a module that lets you (I think) embed a view inside of
a CCK field. Maybe do that on author/Fred
4. Maybe just make a custom node tpl for authors and embed the view in there.

Any better ideas?

Thanks!
