Support for Drupal 7 is ending on 5 January 2025—it’s time to migrate to Drupal 10! Learn about the many benefits of Drupal 10 and find migration tools in our resource center.
This will be quite an epic change to port to d7 compared to most other modules. Modal Frame api is in core now(and up to date jquery) so it should make it simpler than 6.x was.
Node Relationships extends Node References (or References as it is named in D7, partly because it combines user and node). In other words, the features this module provides are not available in References
This is the node relationships issues forum, not node references (which is part of cck in drupal 6). You are correct that node references is now available in drupal 7 as References, but that is not what we are talking about here.
If you're just trying to get a list of backreferences to display on a node (say, nodes referring to that node) or a user, check out the new views capability for building 'backreferences' that was introduced here: #1083902: Backreferencing (listing nodes that reference the target node). I'm using it to get lists of nodes referring to other nodes, and it's simple and fast (and negates the need for yet another module).
I hope that Relation will have some of those Node Relationship perks such as being able to create a referenced node while filling out a node form; that feature has been indispensable for my end users. If nothing happens with this module for D7, I'll definitely ask for a Relation feature request.
amagdy: please do not post "+1" comments or "subscribe" comments any more. There is now a "Follow" button at the top of all issues so that you can keep tabs of an issue without cluttering it up.
FWIW, we are actively researching a D7 upgrade and the http://drupal.org/project/references_dialog module looks like a viable upgrade path. At least for the node_relationship features that we are/were using.
Back references are in D7 core
Within the node edit dialogue, the following are supported:
- Search (using a view to format dialog)
- Edit
- Create & References
Unfortunately, the references_dialog module is in alpha...here is documentation to get you started: http://drupal.org/node/1309792
I don't know if it helps, but in D7 I reached the required solution with References module and Views. I made a Node Reference field in content type A to B ("products" content type to "technologies"), and in Views I used contextual filter to this field, with validation B (content validator to "technologies" content type). I created block with referenced contents A ("products" content: image, title, etc) then I put to a block into appropiate region and restrict to the necessery path (technologies/*).
So I made only one reference, and with views I made a simple backref. I hope it helps to somebody.
