Hello, please try to keep all suggestions in the thread online. So we have a good thread that shows the progress and ideas all toghether. But about the body and title: No. IMO that really dos not belong in th relationships. You are free to add your own module and table, like node_wrapper.module, that makes new nodes, yet uses (parts of) the content of other nodes. That is, IMO the way to go with this. You can use the relation mappings for that ;) and the pictures can already take different weights in each gallery where hey appear, in shazamgallery. with the current table.

please have a look at http://drupal.org/node/28480#comment-42850. Its a revised proposal for the relation mapping. I came with this after developing my second relation module.
+1 for Bèr proposal
Since we're discussing the relation mapping fields, I'd like to invite you to think of 2 other fields: title and description. Although each node has its own title and body, when it comes to relations, each relationship may have a new title and new description which can be different from those of the nodes.
Examples:
1 - If you're making a list of books (like Amazon's listmania). Each book (from bookreview module) has its own title and body, but when you create your list of favorite books, you can make annotations regarding what's important in each book, why you recommend them, etc.
2 - If you're creating a virtual tour using pictures, although each picture has its own title and body, since a picture can take different weights for several tours, you can have a different title and description for each picture in each relationship. (Bèr, think about it for shazam)
There are many other situations... when you add a buddy you may want to describe who he/she is, when you bookmark a node you can write a description, etc... Regards, Bèr -- [ Bèr Kessels | Drupal services www.webschuur.com ]
