fields [Solved] Reciprocal fields

[Elías Gómez]

Hi!

I am building a website and it would be great to have a way to update the value of a field when other is changed. Let's explain with an example:

• I have a template for Books.
• I have a template for Authors.
• In the Books template I have a field called Author, with the type page, and restricted to the template books.
• When I insert a Book, I simply fill the Author in the field.

Imagine that now I have a lot of Authors and Books inserted, and I want to link them. The easiest way is to go to the Authors and fill in the Books, so I have to edit less pages. Is there any way to to it? I have though on adding a new field on Authors called Books, so when I fill it, the author field gets updated in the Authors automátically. Is this possible?

Thanks!

This discussion is also about linking pages back and forth with a hook example:

By now I think I'm going to the module approach. Thank you very much!

Edit: Works great! And it's so easy ?
