hi, i wonder about joining. with your example we have authors and authors’ last names are belove first names. but i want to join firs name and last name side by side. how can do it? using form or field group?
You can join fields in a few ways. First, look at the Custom Formatters module (http://drupal.org/project/custom_formatters). Use this module to join two fields and display as one.
Another way is to use the Display Suite module (http://drupal.org/project/ds). Implement a “code field” and display the two fields together.
Hello,
Thank you for this tutorial. I wanted to ask you if you ever used entity reference and if there is a significant difference between field collection and entity reference?
Traian
Hi Traian,
Field collection and entity reference are very different modules. And yes I do use entity reference a lot.
Field Collection
You would use field collection to group a bunch of fields together (simplest explanation). 🙂
For example, let’s say you want to create an author field on an article content type where you’ll store a first and last name of the author.
You can use the field collection module to group first and last name field as a collection.
Entity Reference
The Entity Reference module allows you to create a field that references other entities like node, user or taxonomy term.
Hope this helps.
How can i add Comment section for each Field-collection sections ?
I have Step1, Step2,… etc.
Now user want to add comment for any steps.
Thanks in Advance.
If I understand you correctly, you want to display comments on specific “field collection” fields?
The core comment module only works with nodes. Look at the Reply module (https://drupal.org/project/reply). I have never used the module, but it looks good.
