Reference views

This module allows views to be used as formatters for CCK node and user reference fields. This means that instead of just a title, teaser, or full node, you can show nodes using any fields that are available to Views, in any sort order, in any view style, with any views theming.

This module is version 2 of Node reference views, reworked to provide multiple formatters, and for user references as well as node references (hence the change in name).

There are instructions and examples on the documentation page.

What this module is not

This module does nothing to node edit forms. It is a field formatter: that is, it provides a new way to display reference fields on node display.

This module is fundamentally different from modules such as Viewfield, View Reference. These give you a field where you pick a different view for each node. Contrast with this module, where the same view is shown on all nodes: what differs is the list of nodes within the view, which are those you picked in the CCK node reference field.
