I think entities is the way to go but I'm not familiar enough yet with how they work to offer detailed help. However, I was at DrupalCon Denver and went to two presentations on entities:<a href="http://denver2012.drupal.org/program/sessions/drupalize-your-data-use-entities"> http://denver2012.drupal.org/program/sessions/drupalize-your-data-use-entities</a> and <a href="http://denver2012.drupal.org/program/sessions/alice-wonderland-world-fields-and-entities">http://denver2012.drupal.org/program/sessions/alice-wonderland-world-fields-and-entities</a>. Maybe you can find some help in either of them. Good luck.<div>

I could be wrong, but I don't think you can do this with Taxonomy, you need nodes. I might be wrong with the whole new 'entities' deal, but in D6, if I recall correctly, only Node Views worked.<br>
<br>
I hope that helps some.<br>

Subject: [support] Taxonomy in views reference<br>
<br>
I have Name, Last Name, Phone number fields in a taxonomy Vocabulary named Contacts.<br>
<br>
I have a Views Reference named Contacts which displays Name and Lastname fields.<br>
All works as expected.<br>
<br>
When I set up a Contacts field in my events table form set to Node Reference I want to select the Reference View but get error message from<br>
'Views- Nodes That Can Be Referenced' = No eligible view was found.<br>
<br>
The idea is to provide a drop down list in Events form that provides first and last name from the taxonomy view.<br>
<br>
I'm completely stuck on how to do this<br>
<br>
Are there any Views experts who can help me please?<br>
thanks<br>
Roger<br>
