Description
The super_nodereference module provides a very flexible method of using a
field that links to another node. This module is based on the CCK
nodereference module and integrates with CCK, but adds some significant
flexibility.

Improvements compared to CCK nodereference

  • super_nodereference fields can be configured to link to any field (“primary
    field”) on the referenced node. The CCK nodereference field is hard coded
    to the node title.
  • super_nodereference fields offer very flexible autocomplete options. The
    referenced node can be looked up using (1) a standard sql query on the
    “primary field”, (2) a preconfigured view filtered by the “primary field”,
    or (3) a preconfigured view with an exposed filter. The CCK nodereference
    field doesn’t recognize exposed filters.
  • super_nodereference fields offer the option to store plain text if a
    matching node is not found. CCK nodereference does not offer this option.

Limitations compared to CCK nodereference
super_nodereference currently only offers the autocomplete widget.
