There are two main issues with this module for us.

  • one the structure is very ridged.
  • we don't want to show the left column in our case, some quick setting in the view should allow toggling of that display.

Patches on their way.......

First patch so far move to a template file that allows themers to quickly rearrange the output of the content.

Right there a tone of changes and fixes....

- moved to templates so its easy to theme this lot for themers.
- added option to allow web admin to hide the left column from views options_form.
- fixed the AJAX bug where request doesn't "know" anything about the function "node_form" because it doesn't include modules/node/node.pages.inc.

Remove the AJAX callback when the left column is hidden.

for whatever reason, i can't get this patch to apply. no output whatsoever with git apply -v. anything i might be doing wrong? looking forward to helping to test this!

@rerooting checkout the project from git first.

works great! this was extremely helpful. we may be able to combine this with a patch we are working on to allow fields without unlimited cardinality.

@rerooting - I'd love to get hold of your patch for that one, as we need to be able to use for fields that only allow one value, where really radios should be shown and not checkboxes. How far far are you with that path? got anything you want us to test?

not much yet, we will let you know when we are ready to test. this is really for another issue entirely, just mentioning that this patch may offer a way to get around some of the complexities that has led the maintainer(s) to avoid non-unlimited cardinality with this widget.

@rerooting could you let us know of the issue number that we can follow along with that patch? That cardinality issue was something I was about to tackle next :)

Sorry, we actually decided not to use entity reference view widget and instead used a patch for entityreference itself we found. We had wonderful results! For simple needs regarding exposing fields in option/radio lists and autocomplete, look no further than the patch we refer to on this comment!

@rerooting - I have created a new module that allows for much more flexibility in creating the view. You can use the table view layout and add any addition fields you want. It also is much more light-weight in its implementation with less ajax calls back to Drupal.

It is currently in a sandbox: http://drupal.org/sandbox/davidseth/1489176. You will have to check out the 7.x-1.x branch.

Thanks david! We are doing fine with the patch to entityreference that I referred to, so we won't need any additional modules. I would highly suggest that all work along these lines focus on expanding this patch for entityreference.
