Hi,
I have 3 content types Album, Artist, Audio (from audio module) I have
added node reference in the following order:
Artist is referenced from Album and Audio
Audio is referenced from Album
When I try to retrieve a list of all albums in the sytem with Album and
Artist info as I have artist referenced from Album, its straight forward.
Where as When I wish to list Albums per Artist on view of artists, I dont
get anything back as artist is referred by album and not vice versa. The
above reference map lets me have everything linked up and I could prolly add
redundant references from every type to every other type (ugly) if it was
not a CMS hell to provide all linkages on each node edit.
Its a pretty straightforward use case and I am looking at views helper
modules, untill then I thought I would bump this to mailing list to get some
suggestions.
Cheers
Dipen

Hi,
I think this is what you need, but I'm curious to hear other suggestions as
well:

Hi Shai,
Thanks for the module but even after adding back referencing relationship in
artist content type to include album info as field, I dont see the field
available in "Add fields" Though on node view it does retrieve a list of all
albums from a default view called noderelationships_backref.
Here in I am trying to prepare a view for all artist in the sytem and show
up their album info beside each artist, I see that upon adding backref
settings to conten type it has added a autogenerated field to the manage
field section but that field is not accessible in views because that field
in itself is output of view.

Re: [support] Views 2 and Reverse node reference
Dipen,
I'm answering in a very rushed way and don't have time to fully take in your
requirements...
But off the top of my head, I think you might find your answer via Panels'
"Contexts" functionality. (http://drupal.org/project/panels). Note: Sounds
like you are definitely an advanced user, but sometimes it takes a while to
wrap you head around Panels advanced functionalities.
Again, I'm hoping that others jump in as well.
best,
Shai

Dipen,
One more thing... do leave a support request over at the noderelationships
queue. Even if noderelationships doesn't meet your requirements, certainly
the developers there have spent a lot of time thinking about the same things
that you are thinking about and could have some helpful suggestions.
