Q:

Drupal 7: Collection of nodes field

Which is the best way to attach a collection of nodes to another node?
I'm creating a meal and ingredients nodes. I want to assign multiple ingredients to a meal and I'd like to do it programatically via modules ( content types )
Which is the best way to achieve this? Can you point me to the right direction ( links, etc...)
Thanks

A:

What about a taxonomy vocabulary for the ingredients list, and then just reference those taxonomy terms in your meal node?
You could try the Insert View module, create a view with whatever other nodes you want, and then display it at the right place in your node
If you want something a bit more complex, you could relate the meal node with the ingredient nodes, and collect them with a view, and then use Insert Views.

As a general note though, Views sounds like what you want to use -- it's perfect for that collecting of different information from other nodes and displaying it.
