Come together with the global Drupal community in Rotterdam, 28 Sept – 1 Oct 2026. Sessions, contribution, connection, and Early Bird savings until 8 June.Currently the count field has to be on the same entity type as the entityreference field. Expand the module so that the count field can be placed on any entity type.
There are several parts to this.
The first part is relatively easy - changing the list of fields to just list all entityreference fields. However, shouldn't it work off the field instance instead of the field base?
The second part is more difficult - limiting the list of bundles that should be considered for the count. Is there any need for this?
The third part is the query in entityreference_count_field_formatter_view(). That needs to work off EFQ.

damienmckennaWIP. This works for me with a counter field on a Fieldable Panels Pane entity that counts occurrences of a reference field on a User entity.
Comment #4
damienmckennaHad to update entityreference_count_references_update() to not require the $entity->type value but instead use entity_extract_ids() to get the bundle.

khalor commented#4 working great for me (with entity reference fields on a user being counted by the node they refer to).
Comment #6
WorldFallz commentedI'd like to get this committed in preparation for rolling a release. Which of the 3 items is included in the patch-- looks like at minimum, part 3 didn't make it in.

knipnehpets commented#4 works a dream (counting taxonomy terms referenced by commerce products). Cheers.
Are you going to release a new dev version (currently dev version pre-dates the beta version).
