I am in need of a custom function that will format a node reference ID that groups a list of DS nodes (I am sorting successfully using this reference node.) I need to be able to take the node ID, which is what is currently being pulled, and pull the title of the node being referenced instead.

Is this possible, and if so, as I'm not a programmer, is there a simple function that can accomplish this task?

Thanks.

Put in 'print_reference_title' as the function and declare this function in a module. (or maybe in template.php, I think that one should be picked up as well).

function print_reference_title($nid, $object) {
  $title = db_query("SELECT title FROM {node} WHERE nid = :nid", array(':nid' => $nid))->fetchField();
  return check_plain($title);
}

Completely untested, but I think it should work.

Hello,
I've got the same problem and I can't find any help on this.
Did you manage to do it?
I don't know in what file I should declare the function.

Thanks
