I get the following errors when trying to create an entityforms entity using the rules action 'Create a new entity'.
Steps to reproduce:
- fresh drupal install (7.28-dev) with entity API (1.5), entityform 2.0-beta3, rules 2.7
- create a rule with the "Create a new entity" action and make sure it gets triggered (example attached, trigger it by updating a user account)
- The entityform form is not created and you should see these errors:

Warning: Illegal offset type in isset or empty in entityform_get_types() (line 383 of .../sites/all/modules/entityform/entityform.module).

Warning: array_flip() [function.array-flip]: Can only flip STRING and INTEGER values! in EntityAPIControllerExportable->load() (line 742 of .../sites/all/modules/entity/includes/entity.controller.inc).

Ok see the problem.

In EntityformController->create()

I was expecting a string but Rules is sending an EntityformType object.

This patch converts that to a string. Not sure if this is the best way to solve it.

Please test.

Patch from #2 solves the problem for me. No more errors and the entities get created correctly. Thanks @tedbow
