I’m trying to find a module(or module suite) that will allow for cross referencing  or cross linking two district content types (e.g. people  and responsibilities) in a many to many relationship. I’ve looked around and I’m not finding anything that hits the target right on. I’m trying to avoid building this from the ground up. Here's a description of what I'm looking for below, any recommendations are welcome. I was also wondering if I could accomplish this with DNN's Form and List module?

Data structure: I have content A and content B, I need to associate these two by way of a cross-join table to ensure a many to many relationship they have.

Back end: module(or module suite) that would interact with the data to create, read, update, & delete and of course enforce the data structure mentioned above.

Front end:  need to have the ability to display the cross linked content; display content A (HTML module or natively in this ? module) and a listing of the associated content B and vice versa.

Thank you for any direction or recommendations in advance.

Hi Josh,

This might be a stretch, but you might want to try it with digArticle.  You could make 2 categories a and b.  Add your a items to category a and b items to category b.  Then you can use related articles to associate a's to multiple b's, or b's to multiple a's.  Then you can use the digArticle Dashboard or Article List module to display all articles in category a or b as you see fit.  Then when the user clicks the details, they will see all the related information.  

Thanks

Mike
