RESOLVED: Linking a CiviCRM record in a Drupal Content type
June 20, 2014, 08:50:58 pm
For my website, there are two types of content: Meetings and Sponsor. Currently, both are Drupal content types. Within the Meeting Content Type,  there is a field of type Node Reference. With this field, I can create a link from a specific Meeting to the specific Sponsor for that meeting.

I have now improved my site - Sponsor information is now stored in CiviCRM. I have figured out how to use both the CiviCRM-Views module to display CiviCRM information and the CiviCRM-Webform module for capturing information. My question for today is this: How do I create the equivalent of the Node Reference in order to associate a specific Sponsor (in CiviCRM) to a specific Meeting?

I found this: https://civicrm.org/blogs/jackrabbithanna/drupalcivicrm-integration-civicrm-entity-and-webform-civicrm, but this seems far more complex/detailed than that which I am trying to accomplish. I also found this, https://www.drupal.org/project/civicrm_entity, and it seems to be relevant, but I did not find any simple examples of how this module is used.

Would someone please point me in the right direction. Thank you.
