First off, great job on this module. This is exactly what we've needed for these large node references. The basket is a good idea but the real power behind this is the views extensions.

Do you happen to know if this will work with views bulk operations? (VBO)? I'm just trying to come up with a way of adding many nodes to a basket at once.

This is a great feature request, will be committing this in the next couple of days and update this issue when it's committed to dev.

This does look impressive. Thanks for the screencast.
Are there other related/similar modules we should know about?

Thinking about this there are some downsides to a pure VBO method. While this may be a nice feature, I think many more developers would prefer a built in mass-add option rather than replying on an external module. I'm just thinking from a UI standpoint, would a simple ajax submitted check box be very difficult to integrate instead of the VBO? I don't mean to hijack this thread this is spesifically about VBO support,

Sorry, life and other large projects got in the way of my issue.

Just committed to Dev Views Bulk Operations support. I don't think that this module should work at adds to VBO by supplying some bulk method besides VBO, so if you need ajax support I suggest filing that with the VBO folks. That being said, there are some accessibility issues with an AJAXified method of doing this.

Please download the dev version of Nodereference Basket and let me know here if there are any outstanding issues. Otherwise, I'll commit this as version 1.2.

Now that I have re-read this issue, I can see doing this in a clean, ajaxified interface a-la the flag link mechanim. I can build an option in the view field to say "render as normal link" or "render as javascript link" and the second option would make the links operate very much like flag's javascript links.

Would that be close to what you're thinking of, timefor?

This is your module so I don't want to say one way or another would be best for my individual needs. Actually VBO is exactly want I need at this point and will check out your latest build this afternoon. I was thinking of this from a standard UI point of view and what would be easiest for non-tech savvy content providers. My thinking was just that a built in feature for multiple uploads may be a better long term method and more accessible in more cases. I can think of times where I don't want to give VBO permissions to low level users or not have any reason to install except for a case like this. In that sense, a built in Javascript solution seems like the way to go. This this thread is specifically about VBO, I'll continue in the other thread and not hijack this one.
