I am trying out EVA module in on a clean D7 install. After loading the module i can't seem to find any options in the views UI on howto "link" the view to specific entities. I cleared cache.

To debug/find out if the EVA plugin was loaded on top of Views UI i added a "die('test')" statement on top of the eva_plugin_display_entity class to check if Drupal was loading this file at all. This failed, so apparently the file wasn't loaded.

Some more details :

* Drupal 7.0
* Module : Eva (eva) - 7.x-1.x-dev
* Module : Views (views) 7.x-3.0-beta3
* Module : Views UI (views_ui) 7.x-3.0-beta3
* screenshot attached.

I have the same question. The only options I have is to attach a view to the current view displays.

I'm having the same issue and have been struggling with this for few weeks. Still waiting for solution. Any expert please enlighten me. Thank you.

Still encountering this? I've been unable to reproduce it on a number of different Drupal instances.

I can confirm that this is the case.

I was mucking around with views_plugin_display_block.inc the other day so I had an idea of what went on.

    $categories['entity_view'] = array(
      'title' => t('Entity content settings'),
    );

needed to be

    $categories['entity_view'] = array(
      'title' => t('Entity content settings'),
      'column' => 'second',
      'build' => array(
        '#weight' => -10,
      ),
    );

Can we please have this patch reviewed? It's working correctly for me and since EVA is a great solution to a lot of developer's woes we should work on another release.

Tested the patch, didn't work for me though :(

I've poured over the Views UI and can't find any reference to Entity Content, or anything that seems related to this module in any way. I tested on three completely separate and unrelated Drupal 7 sites with Views 7.x-3.0-rc1. I tried 1.0 and dev releases of EVA, applied the patch and retested.

Maybe I'm missing something. Exactly where in the Views UI should I be seeing options from this module? Or are options elsewhere in the Drupal admin section I'm just not finding?

EVA needs to tell views that the UI widget stuffs need to be in the second column in the Views UI. You should find the code I listed above and add this little bit to it 'column' => 'second', which should make the style widget appear in the Views UI.

I am not seeing the Entity Content settings, either, in my views UI. I am running Eva 7.x-1.2, Views 7.x-3.5, and Views UI 7.x-3.5. I have created a view but there is not place where I can select which entity to attach this view to. I would like to display this view in the user profile. Any help would be great appreciated. Thanks.

Sorry for the delay here. This problem has been fixed for a while, so please don't reopen issues...yours is likely different from the one discussed above.

If you have a view all set, and EVA installed, you should be able to add a display (as in 'block', 'page', etc) called 'EVA Field.' When editing the display you'll find the options you're looking for. If you're still having trouble, please open a new support request.
