Suppress field data from being loaded during entity_load(). Since field data will not be loaded it will not be displayed nor editable through the interface. This can be handy if you are using an alternate means to display or edit data and/or if you have a large amount of data in fields which will cause the node edit (or similar) interface to use a huge amount of memory and take a very long time to build.
Two new field settings are provided. field_suppress: The following three states are provided. never: Never suppress field data. always: Always suppress field data. Any changes to field data will be ignored during entity update and insert. load: Only suppress field data during entity_load() so any data added will be saved during entity update or insert.
field_suppress_blank: In some cases it may be useful to have a "blank" entry be added for a field that is suppressed. An example is when using this module with Field group views which uses field_group to replace the fields that are children of the group. If none of the fields have a value then the group will not be displayed. Keep in mind this is somewhat hackish since the field API does not provide a standard array structure so adding a "blank" row may not always work.
This module brings various improvements to the core Taxonomy module.
Features
Adds a delete link in the vocabulary terms list
Adds an option to not allow duplicate terms in a vocabulary
Views integration - provides a Views argument handler which adds the capabality of showing the results of related terms' nodes (e.g. If you have a view list for the term "Drupal", and that term is related to "Drupal core", nodes that are tagged with "Drupal core" will also show up in that view)
API functions
Provides an equivalent to taxonomy_get_term_by_name() which adds an extra parameter ($vid) for restricting the search to a specific vocabulary
Provides an equivalent to taxonomy_node_get_terms_by_vocabulary() which saves a database query by searching for the terms directly in the $node object.
Provides an equivalent to taxonomy_get_tree() which gets a more useful taxonomy tree, with "nesteds" terms in an array that you can access with $term->children
Todo
Improve documentation and function signature for taxonomy_additions_get_nested_tree()
Add code samples for the API functions provided by this module
A CCK content field which lets you add a country to your content types; displaying country name, ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code, ISO 3166-1 alpha-3 code or a countryicon with module
