[development] Node referencing

[Earl Dunovant]

Assuming /node/add/B?mainnode=5, something like this should work.

function B_form(&$node, &$params) {
$mainnode = $_GET['mainnode'];
// make sure it's a valid node for the purpose
if (nid_passes_the_test($mainnode) {
$node->mainnode = $mainnode;
}
else {
// yell at them for making an error
}
...
}
