Node referencing: How do you display a node with all its references?

Question

Ingredients:

• Drupal7 + References + Views module installed

• 2 content types: magazine issue + magazine articles (for each issue)

• Article c-type has a reference field: issue_no which displays the issue it belongs

• I made a Views to display me a plain list of issues only.

Requirements

1. When I click on the issue in the issue list I want to see all its references nodes(=articles) attached

2. I need to highlight the latest issue in the list by creating a separate page VIEW on the frontpage that contains articles of the latest view.

I would appreciate any help.

Here is a prinscreen on my content type > manage display

Answer 1

Install views and have it manage your home page, then add a content type filter so that it only shows issues on your home page. This will stop your home page being a mix of articles and issues.

Then, go to each content type and go to "manage display", in there you can specify the format, by default this is set to title (link). You also have an option for "full rendered node" which will display the whole referenced content inline.

Alternatively you could use views and create a block with the nid as a argument so it displays references content in a way you can choose fields to display etc

Answer 2

There several ways (at least) to do it. The solution we've discussed here is relevant only for one node reference. I found no way to display multiple node references

• A. Using taxonomy. Create taxonomy terms: issue1, issue2 and display an articles under one of this

• B. Duplicate BackLinks View ( a preset of Views )

• C. In issue custom type create a field for each article. The type of the field must pe node reference. (autosuggestions).After
  adding articles , the editor will create a new issue and type the
  article to be displayed in those article fields.

• D.Create A view and add a footer. In the footer add a new view (the
  articles).
