Display Related CCK Fields of Multiple Content Types in One View, Using Relationships
Say you have a View of content type A. This view displays nodes, including a Node Reference CCK Field related to other content type B.
Out of the box, your options in Drupal for display (on a node level) are the defaults: Title (link), Title (no link), Teaser, and Full Node. But what you need for the view is a display that is different fields, or a combination of some fields, from the related nodes of content type B.
The module to use in this case is Nodereference Views. Here's another example/explanation from the project page:
"Suppose you want to show selected forum posts on project nodes. You'd add a CCK nodereference field on the project type, and for each project, pick some nodes. So on each project page, you get some forum posts listed. Your options for how to show these on project nodes are: titles, full nodes, or teasers.
But perhaps you'd like something else on your project nodes, such as a table of forum posts that shows post title, post author, and comment count. This module lets you do that.
First, clone the example view, give the new view the same name as your CCK nodereference field on the project type. Add the fields you want (fields on the forum nodes now). You can add a sort order too. You probably don't want any filters: the argument that is set in the example view is what gets you the nodes that are selected in the CCK nodereference field. Set the style to whatever you like: table, list, etc. You can use any views theming you like too.
Now set the display option on the CCK nodereference field to 'View'. This will pick up the view you've created, and display your table of forum posts on your project page."
The other thing to keep in mind is the new "View" format selector is also available for the display of the field in the content type. This means you could potentially construct a view to use in the edit form as well. For example, you could make a view with the title of the node, and an image. The content types would be "dishes". Then make a form for ordering a catering event. Now, the checkboxes will have not just the title of the dish, but a picture of the food itself. Super useful!
