Alternative module [#2870582]

Hello

I discover today that I can no longer use the module (security risk). I want to use an alternative solution but if I have to go through all my "nodes" that call for another "node" I will spend an eternity there.

Could we have a detailed user manual to migrate to "Entity reference"?

Thanks in advance.

There's a helper module for migration, which is pretty straight forward:

https://www.drupal.org/project/entityreference_migration

You will need these two new modules:
https://www.drupal.org/project/entityreference
https://www.drupal.org/project/entity

The documentation is here: https://www.drupal.org/node/2032389

If you are using references (node and/or user) in any views, you will have to update these views after migration.

You can find all fields in an admin overview in your Drupal: /admin/reports/fields
And the fields used in views (if any): /admin/reports/fields/views-fields

Migration might be easy or complex, depending on how you are using references.
It's not necessary to migrate taxonomy references, by the way.
Be sure to have a recent backup of your files and database before you start.

If migrating is too complicated in your installation, there are good news: it seems, a new maintainer has started to work on an update: https://www.drupal.org/node/2869138
