Use Rules to create new content and fill the corresponding node_reference field

Question

I want to use a button to create a new article.

I write two rules to do the following work

snapshot 2

snapshot 3

The snapshot 2 creates a new content; the snapshot 3 fills the field of the content just created.

I can't fill the node reference field; how can i do that?

The button I put is on a different kind of content type.

I hope some body can help me fix this article.

Answer 1

I found how to fix my own problem

$node->field_YOURFIELD[LANGUAGE_NONE][0]['uid']=$userid;
$node->field_YOURFIELD[LANGUAGE_NONE][0]['nid']=$nid;

Answer 2

Perhaps you could have a PHP action like this:

$nid = arg(1); //Gets the nid from the url
$node = node_load($nid);
$node->field_YOURFIELD['und'][0]['target_id'] = 10; //nid of referenced node
node_save($node);

This works with the Entity References module. I don't know about the node reference module. It might be 'value' instead of 'target id'. You can use the Devel module to find out.

You'll need to enable the PHP module.
