Entity List

Synopsis

The Entity List module provides a new type of entity List.
This entity allows a webmaster to easily create lists of entities without views.

Plugins integrated to the module allow to accompany the developper or webmaster to the creation of a new list.

The advantage of Entity List module is that a webmaster can choose the source of data:

• the type of entity (node, user, files, media, taxonomy term, etc.)
• the bundle ( basic page, article, events, category (taxonomy) )
• the language (language available on the site or automatic detection of the current language)
• the number of results to display per page
• Enable or not a pager

The webmaster can also choose the elements displayed on the page:

• The number of items found
• Filter associated to the list
• Results of the list
• Pager 1
• Pager 2

Entity List offers two types of plugins to configure the list

• EntityListQuery Plugin

  The plugin responsible for the recovery of entities.

• EntityListDisplay Plugin
