I am in the process of making a social networking web site with Drupal7. Most of the tasks are done. However, i am stuck at this issue big time. I have created custom content type, Challenge. Using the flag module, i have placed a flag, Accept Challenge, on the nodes of this content type. Users click on this flag and accept the challenge. Now to complete the challenge users, have to post a blog about their challenge. So is there any way that when the user goes to node/add/blog and begins blogging, in the title field he or she has a drop down to pick from the nodes he has flagged. The name of the title should be same as that of node which was flagged. Please advice. I hope i am clear. If not, please tell me and i would try my best to be as clear as i can

As a workaround you could show a list of accepted challenges for each user and link them to node/add/blog with the title prefilled using the prepopulate module.
You could also create a node reference from blog to challenge, use a "select" widget and narrow the option with a view (that's a cool feature of the node reference module). In that view you limit the records to the current user and only the challenges they have flagged.

For Drupal 7, the node reference module itself suggests to use the new References module. I am looking into that. And, the prepopulate module is still in dev version. Will keep you posted. Thanks– whyFeb 27, 2013 at 18:34
