SpinInt

SpinInt - the Spinning Integer Widget

Spinint provides a simple up down arrow widget for integer number fields.

Field Label Format

This module provides configurable formatted field labels – including its HTML element, ID and classes – in alternate field formatters for each original formatter.

Multifield

An unhelpful shot from the movie "Fifth Element" of Leeloo saying "Multifield"

This project seeks to provide a true compound field solution for Drupal 7. As much as I love Field collection, it still has to save actual entities, and can cause performance problems due to having to load all the referenced field collection entities on node, or parent entity load.

Limitations

  • The sub-fields inside the multifield are limited to one value. You can have a multiple value multifield, but the individual fields in in the multifield can only have one value.
  • You cannot have a multifield inside another multifield.
  • I've tried to test this with all the core field types, but more advanced fields may cause issues. I haven't run into any yet, but just be aware and test what you want to use.
  • I will be the first to admit, this solution is doing all kinds of unholy things to Drupal's field and entity APIs, so there may be unexpected dragons laying around that I haven't discovered.

Known issues

Recommended Modules

  • Multiple Value Widget: Improves the UI for managing complex multiple-value field widgets by using jQuery UI tabs.

Comparison to similar modules

  • Composed Field: Stores field values as serialized data. Hard to expose sub-fields in Views, Search API, etc.
  • Field Collection or ECK + Inline Entity Form: Stores field values as a reference to a sub-entity which contains the actual sub-field values. Adds additional layers of entities and fields.

Inline entity form rendered

Attempt to provide an alternative IEF widget that renders the entities using a specific view mode.
