About
This module extends ECK module providing extra property behaviors as well as some UI features.
Unlike fields, entity properties are single-value, but are stored in the entity table.
Entity properties are shared trough all entity bundles.
When designing your data, moving from fields to properties can significantly improve the load/save time of your entity.
Dependencies
Some notable behaviors
- + reference - allows any entity type to be referenced.
- (example: in order to add a node reference, select the Reference behavior, add the machine name of the property as id_node)
- + vocabulary - allows referencing taxonomy terms.
- (example: select the Vocabulary behavior, add the machine name as id_{vocabulary})
- + date popup - saves a timestamp in the database and uses date_popup as a widget
- + text
- + number
Other
The module provides a theming function for entity properties that allows to alter the property access. The property is loaded in the entity object, but it's access is controlled from the theme.
@TODO:
+ Provide a reference edit form.
+ Update the reference and vocabulary behaviors allowing the referenced entity type to be stored in the property information and not in the name.
@see https://www.drupal.org/node/2398807
+ Provide View/Edit/Delete own permissions for ECK entities.
