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: http://denver2012.drupal.org/program/sessions/drupalize-your-data-use-entities and http://denver2012.drupal.org/program/sessions/alice-wonderland-world-fields-and-entities. Maybe you can find some help in either of them. Good luck.

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.

I hope that helps some.

Subject: [support] Taxonomy in views reference

I have Name, Last Name, Phone number fields in a taxonomy Vocabulary named Contacts.

I have a Views Reference named Contacts which displays Name and Lastname fields.
All works as expected.

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
'Views- Nodes That Can Be Referenced' = No eligible view was found.

The idea is to provide a drop down list in Events form that provides first and last name from the taxonomy view.

I'm completely stuck on how to do this

Are there any Views experts who can help me please?
thanks
Roger
