How do I use information from Entity Reference Field?

By jag1500 on 26 Jul 2016 at 20:31 UTC

I have 2 nodes. Shows and Venues. You can have multiple shows at a venue. I am having the address, city, state, and zip entered for venue only. however when someone is viewing a show node. I want to be able to display the venue name with a link (which i already have suing entity reference) and also the address, city, state, and zipcode. How do i get rest of the information from the venue entity to display on the show node?

Thanks for the suggestion. However i want to display an entity reference field on a node not a view. Will this module create a field in the content type from another content type that i can add to the node in manage display?
