This module is a port of CCK Field Definitions for Drupal 7. It will support the new Field API, instead of CCK.
The purpose of this module is to display to the user a list of node type fields, along with their descriptions, in a dictionary-like fashion. This is especially useful for node types that have a large amount of fields (hundreds) because it allows for viewing all the fields at a glance and studying the definitions without having to go into the actual node creation form.
This functionality can be enabled/disabled for any node type.
Users with the correct permissions are also able to edit the definitions in-place, which is useful for non-technical users that need to revise field definitions periodically. All the changes are reflected immediately in the corresponding node type form.
Planned features
- Support for collapsible fieldsets and weight-based sorting for displaying the fields in a human-friendly way.
- Support for field definitions at the entity level, rather than node-level
