Currently it provides functions assisting with:

  • Setting field items (prior to saving an entity)
  • Programmatically adding different types of fields

This module provides a field that is capable of auto-saving drafts of an entity (only tested on nodes at this point). This behaves much the way Gmail drafts do.

To enable drafts, simply add a Drafts field to your entity. It provides timed auto-save as well as a "Drafts" tab on the content admin page. Note that this requires a core patch - check out the README.txt for more information.

This module provides:
- A formatter for reference fields
- A views field for reference fields (called "Field extracted from entity referenced through $field")

The formatter / views field determines the entity type of the entities being referenced,
and allows you to select a field available on that entity type, as well as the formatter
to be used for displaying that field.
Then, during display, the values of that field are taken from all referenced entities,
passed to the selected formatter, and displayed.

Smart Trim implements a new field formatter for textfields (text, text_long, and text_with_summary, if you want to get technical) that improves upon the "Summary or Trimmed" formatter built into Drupal 7.

After installing and enabling Smart Trim, you should see a "Smart trimmed" option in the format dropdown for your text fields. This is located in the "Manage Display" section of "Structure->Content types. With smart trim, you have control over:

Set a CCK field to only have one value on one node across whole site - all other nodes will have no value for that field.

User Cases

Featured Node

Tick a checkbox on a node to make it featured somewhere, when the checkbox is ticked on another node it will unset the value on the first node. Use in combination with Views to set up a featured event, news, or any other type of content - can also be used to exclude the node from other Views generated listings.
