I am pretty new to Drupal, using 4.7 - I am tring to do the following, it may be totally off, or there may be a significantly easier way to do it.
I am trying to use a bit of social networking fun with a site. I am using CCK and nodeprofile to build userprofiles. I have nodereference installed also.
I have a profile CCK node built. Part of social networking is to allow only specific text to be entered into fields that you want to use to link people together.
My userprofile CCK node has a field which asks for the school the person graduated from, i wanted only specific school names to be used, fortunately there are only 20 or so for the people i am doing this for. So I created a taxonomy (catagory) of schools, really with no other fields yet. I created a bunch of nodes within the taxonomy, and then in my CCK userprofile node, created a Node Reference text field with autocomplete to reference the taxonomy. Now when people start to type in the name of the school, it gives them the limited choice.
That all works fine and dandy, but what i need it the following; when you view the new cck userprofile node, the school name is hypertexted and links you to the schools node...which basically contains nothing. What i am wondering, is if a person choses the school node in the CCK userprofile, can i have it add his/her name to the school node, so that when someone clicks on the school node, they see the school name, and a list of all of the people that are on the site who attended that school (then ideally be able to click on that, get sent to the user node and add them to the buddy list)
