Storing node's cross references using CCK

vineet156,

There is a D6 version now. 8-)

What would you do to tell Discuss This! to put the info in the CCK field? I don't think Discuss This! should assume that a specific field should be used, not try to determine the name from the existing fields...

Thank you.

I second this option.
I'll explain what my idea is.

I am building a website for a pop-podium. When a member of the site is watching a event-node, I want them to be able to discuss the event, basically they would be able to say "I am also going to this event!", or "it was a great night", you get the idea.

Discuss this does exactly that. BUT, what would be very handy is that the forum topic would be entered into a cck node reference field at the event, so that I can use views to show the reactions on the event on the event-node's page. To my knowledge this is not possible with discuss-this.

Okay, I will add a field in the Content type forms so one can add the name of a CCK field in the originating type. That field will receive the node number of the node created in the forum.

Then, in the main settings, I will add another name of a CCK field which will be used in the forum as a reference back to the originating node.

The CCK field will need to be a valid node type or a text field. I guess I could look into getting you a drop down with the list of existing and compatible fields...

If anyone has pointers and/or a patch I'd be happy too! 8-)

Thank you.
Alexis
