- * Chaos tool suite (ctools) - https://www.drupal.org/project/ctools
- RECOMMENDED MODULES
- -------------------

- https://www.drupal.org/project/entityreference_prepopulate

- CONFIGURATION
- --------------
- 1. Navigate to Administration > Modules and enable the Entity Reference
- module and its dependencies.
- 2. To add an entity reference field to a node, navigate to Administration >
- Structure > Content types > [content type to edit] > Manage fields and
- add a new field. Add a title and select the entity reference field type.
- Select a widget: Select list, Autocomplete (Tags style), Autocomplete, or
- Check boxes/radio buttons. Save.
- 3. From the Field Setting tab select the entity reference "Target type":
- Node, Comment, File, User, Taxonomy term, or Taxonomy vocabulary.
- 4. From the Field Setting tab select select the Entity Selection Mode -
- Simple (with optional filter by bundle) is the default. Select how to
- Sort: Don't sort, A property of the base table of the entity, or A field
- attached to this entity. Select the sort field or property and the sort
- direction. Save.
- Now when authoring content there is an option to make reference to another
- entity.
- Note that when using a select widget, Entity reference loads all the entities
- in that list in order to get the entity's label. If there are too many loaded
- entities that site might reach its memory limit and crash(also known as WSOD).
- In such a case you are advised to change the widget to "autocomplete". If you
- get a WSOD when trying to edit the field settings, you can reach the widget
- settings directly by navigation to:
- * admin/structure/types/manage/[ENTITY-TYPE]/fields/[FIELD-NAME]/widget-type
- Replace ENTITY-TYPE and FIELD_NAME with the correct values.
