Using Views with the Entity Reference module in Drupal 7 - Daily Dose of Drupal episode 151

If you want to learn how to use Drupal 7 Entity Reference fields with the Views module you have come to the right place. I first covered the Drupal 7 Entity Reference module in the Daily Dose of Drupal Episode #7, but I never went into the details of how to use it in a view. In this episode you will learn how to create a couple Entity Reference fields and use the Drupal 7 Views module to display the referenced/related content. This episode goes over the basics of how to use Views Relationships and Views Contextual Filters. The episode even covers adding an Entity Reference field as an exposed filter within the View and making it a Dropdown instead of a text box. The video is a little long but very informative. You can use this technique to relate and display all different types of content. This is especially useful if you are trying to build a CRM (customer relationship management) system, a Bug/Issue tracking system, a project management system, and possibly even when building some complex social networking type sites. Anytime you need to relate content or users, to other content or users (or any other Drupal 7 entity type) on your site, this will help.
