Drupal 7: Help me to wrap my head around EVA/reverse node reference

Question

What I wanna do shoult be quite easy but but till now I've been without luck. I've read different approaches but none of them worked for me.

Setting: Drupal7/Views 3.6/References/EVA

We have 2 node types: "article" (e. g. "How to sleep better" and "What your dreams mean") "theme week" (e. g. "Sleep")

"theme week" has a node relationship field which points to the "article" node type (i. e. theme week "Sleep" has references to "How to sleep better" and "What your dreams mean").

Now I want to show that referenced articles in my "theme week" node which reffers them. I use EVA to attach a view to my "theme week" node.

Problem: I can't get to set up the view properly; my guess is that I'd use a reverse relationship to my reffering node "theme week", but till now I haven't been lucky with that.

Any advices (step-by-step) would be highly appreciated! Do I have to set up a contextual filter as well? Which fields/filters must use the relationship?

Thanks in advance to everyone sp

Answer 1

OK, i did it. Here's how:

Node types: I've set up 2 node types "article" and "theme week". "theme week" has a node reference field where nodes of the type "article" can be choosen.

View: - I've set up one "EVA" view (requires EVA) Under "advanced", I've selected the relationship to my "article" node type. - I did NOT set "require relationship". - Unter "contextual filter" I've set "Content: Nid", "Provide default value -> Content ID from URL". - I've set all my fields and filter criteria to use that relationship

Display Suite/EVA: - I've attached my View as a field in my "theme week" node type (requires Display Suite/DS).

Now when a "theme week" node is viewed, it shows the "article" nodes which have been referenced by "theme week".

I hope this might be useful to someone!
