Drupal Node reference by a CiviCRM entity ?

[Jul]

Hi there,

I have been looking for a generic solution in order to solve the following problem:

I have a content type, let's say "Gallery" for example, on the Drupal side, and I want to link a gallery to a CiviCRM event.
I want to link a gallery to an event, for example.
Now, if both content types where on the drupal side, the way this would be solved would be by adding node references to one of the content types.

I am looking for a similar solution which could link a drupal object to a civicrm one. How can I tell CiviCRM where to look for an event gallery, when said gallery exists out of CiviCrm ?

Could you please give me some hints - or even modules, who knows - which would help me solve this problem?


Many thanks in advance,
Julien

There is a field that does this - a civicrm contact reference field - module - doesn't it come as default now?

Yes thank you, it does come by default by as the name says, only references contacts, nothing else.

However, I've found this in the meantime:
drupal.org/project/civicrm_reference_fields

I think it's even more fitting. It allows referecing with events and other things. Solves part of my problem, hope it's useful for others too

Interesting - I had been using civicrm entity module for this purposed (alongside standard entity reference fields)
