I am looking for a way to list nodes in a different node. Not sure how to explain this, so I will do it with an example.

Let's say I'm for example making a website for a Tennis tournament, this is not the real purpose, so if you have a different solution for this, it's probably not what I need, I want to achieve what I'll say in this example:

I have the following nodes:

  • Player
  • Match

In player I have:

  • Player name
  • Player age
  • Player ranking
  • etc...

In the node match, I have a few settings, including:

  • Player 1
  • Player 2

What I want to achieve is that in the node "match" I can choose 2 players from the node "player". In the list it shows the player name, however, I should be able to get the extra information as well when rendering the match node.

Any ideas if a certain module excists that could help me out?

Thank you very much!

Edit 22/07/2014:

As an addition, I would also like a different list to inherit his items depending on a previous selected item.

So for example I have 3 nodes:

  • Car
  • Brand
  • Model

The first thing that I would do is: I make different brands as "Brand" nodes content:

  • BMW
  • Mercedes
  • Volvo
  • ...

Afterwards I make a Model. In model I make the models - 'Z4' => And in the list I choose "Brand: BMW" - 'S60' => And in the list I choose "Brand: Volvo" - 'V70' => And in the list I choose "Brand: Volvo" - ...

Now I want my third node "car" to be for example for a seller of cars. So the seller sells a car. He makes a car node and enters the following information:

  • Buyer: Person A
  • Address: Address X
  • Age: 99
  • Licenseplate: 1 XXX 999
  • Brand: ....
  • Model: ....

So what I'm trying to achieve is that the seller has a list of all brands. If he chooses brand "Volvo" for example, then the Model list should appear and show all models for the chosen brand.

I think what you're wanting can be accomplished with views. You may need to add some fields to make the context work for your needs.

  • I don't think a view is what I need. It's not the result that is viewable that I want to change, what I need is a list when creating the node So, with the example of the cars: 1.I make brands of cars. 2. I make models where I pick a brand from a selection list (based on the brands made in brand node) 3. I make a new car & choose a brand from a selection list, then when I pick that brand, the selection list for models should be filled up. I doubt that this would be possible with views, as it's the backend I want to have like this, not the forend. And I expect I need ajax to fill second list.

  • If I'm correct, then your idea was to make the nodes by typing in the model name in the input field twice, and then having a view that combines the 2. That's not a problem, I already have a complete setup which shows the result correctly to the site visitors. What I want however, is that content providers do not have to type it, but choose it from a list, therefor they can't misstype it. That I can do by making the field a list, and adding possible input's in the list, however, I want to make this list dynamic, by making it load the names of another nodetype.

  • Maybe Taxonomy with hierarchy is more in line with what you're looking for. drupal.org/project/hierarchical_select

  • I already use that, however that isn't what I'm looking for. It's really something with AJAX that I need, but I suppose there's no module available yet, so I'll have to check to make it myself I'm afraid. Taxonomy would be great, if I only needed 1 level. But I need multiple levels, where 1 list box inherits it's data depending on the earlier chosen data from another list. Imagine a database with all tennis players in the world, that would be a way too long list. would be better if you first choose the country, then get only players from that country to choose from.
