Maybe I'm missing something obvious or thinking about it all wrong, or maybe
the functionality doesn't exist and I'll have to do something different, but
I'm trying to create a view that has links to another view thats list is
filled from and argument of some type.
I have two custom content types: a sermon and a series of related sermons.
What I want is to have three listings (via Views): 1) a list of the X most
recent sermons, 2) a list of all the series, and 3) a list of sermons within
a specified series. Also, I want to be able to click on the series name in
Views listing 1 and 2 and have it bring up the related listing 3. I have 1
and 2 done easily enough, but I'm having a bit of difficulty coming up with
an acceptable solution for 3.
What I have thought of and/or tried so far: I have in the sermon's content
type a node reference field to the series it belongs to. However, that field
is unavailable in the Views UI. I have tried using arguments and specifying a
view as the target, but that's not even an option from with Views. I have
tried taxonomy, but the user input is not as clean as I would like for
potential computer neophyte and/or illiterate users.
Is what I'm trying to accomplish possible? If so, how?
What I'm looking at doing short term is creating individual views for each
series, but that is really not what I want to be doing long term, nor do I
want to have that as part of the process for a new person to learn.
Thanks for your time and feedback.
