Helper modules

The listing below is a non-exhaustive list of helper modules that assist with Entity Reference.

Modules

Inline Entity Form

Provides a widget for inline management (creation, modification, removal) of referenced entities. The primary use case is the parent -> children one (product display -> products, order -> line items, etc.), where the child entities are never managed outside the parent form. Existing entities can also be referenced.

Entity Reference View Widget

Provides an advanced Entity Reference widget that uses a view embedded in a modal dialog for selecting items..

Entityreference Prepopulate

Allows prepopulating any Entity reference field via URL.

Entityreference Autocreate

A deliberately simple way to invent nodes on the fly in order to refer to them via entityreference.

References dialog

This module extends reference fields like the user and node reference fields by adding links to add, edit and search for references through a dialog.

Autocreate Node Reference

Autocreate Node Reference adds a node reference field and automatically creates the referred node by cloning a template node.

Node Reference Create

Node Reference Create is an enhancement to the nodereference autocomplete widget that allows users to reference non-existent nodes.

Entity connect

It will help you to improve the User Experience for creation of new entities or edition of linked entities on your entity reference fields.

The "add a new" button will enable you to add / create a new entity. The first form will be cached then the new form will be generated. Once the new form is completed and saved the user will return to the original form.
