Very simple question

This is a very simple question and I am willing to pay $10 via PayPal for the answer because I can't find it anywhere.
How can I add a link to a node that will add a value to a field of that node when clicked?
Additional Background Info: I want to have a "add this show" link that will add a node reference to the currently logged in user's profile, but I can figure that out if I could just figure out how to add a link to a node that will add a value to a field of that node when clicked.
Try
Try out..
http://drupal.org/project/flag
With that you should be able to set up a bookmark type link on your show content type for any user to use.
Another way might be...
http://drupal.org/project/bookmarks
Which could do the same thing but does not use http://drupal.org/project/views.
If you need to display those flags on a user page..and not just in a menu for the user..then I would imagine that the flag module would be the way to go. Since flag use's views then you should be able to embed a view of that users flags on there profile page..you also might want to use http://drupal.org/project/content_profile and http://drupal.org/project/contemplate to give you really powerful..and semi-easy ways to manipulate what goes on a profile page.
If that helps ya out.. donate the $ to any drupal project that needs it.
Thank you for the reply :] I
Thank you for the reply :]
I already tried using flags but failed because I actually need to link the 'show' nodes to the 'profile' nodes - they are both content types created to the CCK. I am going to read up on
hook_form_alter which was mentioned below and hopefully find the a solution that way.
Your help was much appreciated.
sounds like vote .. people
sounds like vote ..
people vote in comments and the total (or average) vote appear in the node.
if that's u are looking for, I may provide a detail step by step guide to u.
good day.

userreference
Have you thought about creating a userreference field with unlimited values in each "show" node? A little hook_form_alter work should be able to hide access to the userreference field itself and add a checkbox that, when the form is submitted, would tell Drupal whether to add the current user as another userreference.
Either way, I suppose hook_form_alter is going to be what you need, if you can't find an existing module.
Is there any way to create a
Is there any way to create a nodereference (my user profiles are a content-type) through a hyperlink?
.
It takes a bit of coding, but it can be done. Basically, you write a little module that contains a menu callback at a path like /favorites/add (or whatever you want). The callback should load the (user profile) node, add the nodereference to it, and save the node again.
I've done something similar, though I was saving something to a user profile. Here's a snippet, adapted from my code, that might help you.
<?php
function YOURMODULE_menu() {
$items = array();
$items['favorites/add/%'] = array(
'access arguments' => array('access content'),
'page callback' => 'YOURMODULE_favorites_add',
'page arguments' => array(2),
'type' => MENU_CALLBACK,
);
return $items;
}
function YOURMODULE_favorites_add($arg) {
global $user;
if (is_numeric($arg)) {
if ($show_node = node_load($arg) && $show_node->type == 'show' && node_access('view',$show_node)) {
$user_node = // load your user profile node
$user_node->field_favorites[] = array('#value' => $show_node->nid); // or something like this
node_save($user_node);
print '<div class="favorites-confirm-save">'. t('@show_title has been added to your favorites.',array('@show_title' => $show_node->title) .'</div>';
exit(); // Use exit if you want to return this via AJAX; otherwise, delete this line and replace print with return in the line above.
};
}
// If we didn't exit above, return a 404 error (or other custom error message, if you prefer).
drupal_not_found();
}
?>
Finally, I'd suggest doing this by AJAX using jQuery like the following:
$('a.favorites-add').click(function() { $(this).parent().load('favorites/add/CURRENT-NODE-ID div.favorites-confirm-save'); });That will load the div from the callback into the parent element of any link with class favorites-add when the link is clicked. You might want to do $.ajax() instead of $(this).load() to include error handling.

Have you tried the http://drupal.org/project/prepopulate or http://drupal.org/project/nodereference_url modules?
