- Entityconnect expands the entity reference auto-complete field
- by adding a add new content and edit current content button.
- The "add a new button" will allowed a new entity to be added
- via an add form and then return the user to the original form.
- The edit button will take the user to the edit form of the referenced entity,
- and return them when they are done editing.
- Original concept and piece of code based on NodeConnect.
- List of working entities on form:
- - Node
- - User
- Installation
- ------------
- 1. Copy entityconnect into your modules directory and then enable on the admin
- modules page
