[support] view from different content types (views3)

[Joel Willers]

It sounds like you can use a relationship to do that. If you don't have Node References, you might have to set one up. You could always use arguments, too, if the fields are the same. Finally, if all else fails, you could use php and the Views API to accomplish it. Relationships should work for you, if you tinker a bit.

Subject: [support] view from different content types (views3)

I was trying to create a view from two different content types, joining on a certain field. 
Both of the content types have a database id, which is unique in one of them (sequences), and not unique in the other one (clusters). 
I want to create a views of all nodes with certain search criteria from the clusters content type, but include another field from the sequences content type (annotation). 

It didn't look like I could do that in a standard views3 way, and would probably require a custom module. 
However, I am time pressed (no time for anything custom here), and would like to also use the exposed search capabilities in views. 
Anything I overlooked? 

Thanks, Ursula
