Liniing one database to another
Hello, I'm trying to implement a database of Belgian beers. Therefore, I created 2 different nodes with CCK: 1 for the brewer, 1 for the beer. Now I need a link between the node of the beer and the node of the brewer. The purpose is that, when I enter a beer, I can link it to a brewer, without typing in all the data of the brewer. And when the beer is visible, a simple link to the brewer must be shown. And if you click on that link, the node of the brewer opens with all the data and the beers that the brewer is brewing. I've already looked at Node Family, but I do not understand it very good. Can some-one help ? Kind regards, Steven Vermoere

You might start with node reference. There are snippets available to "discover" the reverse links, I believe, in the handbooks. Laura
You also might want to take a look at http://drupal.org/project/nodereferrer_baby and http://drupal.org/project/nodereferrer_create These two modules work together to simplify the process of referencing one node from another, and, re: "when the beer is visible, a simple link to the brewer must be shown" -- this happens automatically.

These look great. Do you know the plans for these? I see they're just a week old. Laura
Yup, it is working. Thanks. But some-one told me to use Node Family. Must I use that to obtain this result ? And I have another question. If I want a list of all the beers under a brewer, do I need this to do in my template with some PHP-code of View, or is it possible to do this with a CCK-field like Viewfield ? And what is the best method ? Steven Bill Fitzgerald said:

Did you look at the cck nodereference module? Cheers, Gerhard -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFG4cfbfg6TFvELooQRAu7/AJ4yqkanHQu9dcJCGmkRIhv9kF6NagCdE5ta zuLWhCYq4e61Ckwswu6SxVI= =r1IW -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
