Hello,

Love the module, but the issue queue seems to have gone quiet. Any plans for the future?

Can you update the project homepage. Can you show how this module works. 2 lines is not good enough.

I am a little agitated right now, as I have to install the module to find out what is does.

Thanks

Yep, ...coming from #1806672-3: Draggable views supported natively, or custom views handler needed? and #1867908-4: Field API: Support Entity Reference where Damien linked this module as a possible solution. The project page though has a really short and vague description. Can you please elaborate (example use case scenarios would really help)?

Thanx in advance ;)

Yes, I quick "how to use" is much needed.

I created a quick documentation page with the information below:

http://drupal.org/node/1951250

The information can be added to the project page if you want:

The Tree module lets you easily order nodes with Entity Reference relationships using dragging in Views.

  1. Enable Views, Entity Reference, Tree and Tree Field
  2. Create a content type with an Entity Reference field (e.g. parent)
  3. Check the "Tree field" checkbox in the "ADDITIONAL BEHAVIORS" section and choose "Nested set" or "Simple" (FIXME:what is the difference?)
  4. Save the field and content type
  5. Create some nodes of this content type where the parent field references other nodes of this type
  6. Create a new view with that content type with a page display
  7. Add a URL for the page
  8. Add the content title to the fields
  9. Add the Entity Reference field (e.g. parent) to the fields
  10. Add a Tree: Draggable field to the fields
  11. Choose the Table format
  12. Save the view
  13. Go to the views page
  14. Drag around your nodes
  15. You will see that the Entity Reference field (e.g. parent) changes as you move around the nodes
  16. Click Save button to save the Entity Reference fields

wow, reading #4 I start to think this is a very interesting module with a PR problem.

Agree with #2 and #6. People are directed here and it seems like the right solution, but the module is quite poorly documented, has few users, and apparently receives little maintenance. Currently I'm not able to use it for my project, which requires either playing nice with feeds or having solutions to some old issues (#1526294: Error saving and viewing content and #1670412: Default value field setting is required).
