Add a Views field handler to display rendered entities

heureka!

+  public function render($result) {
+    return isset($this->rendered_content[$this->view->row_index]) ? drupal_render($this->rendered_content[$this->view->row_index]) : '';
+  }

I didn't knew about the row_index variable! That helps us a lot for #1172970: provide a unified way to retrieve result entities!

+          'entity_type' => $this->type,

We already have the 'entity type' directly in the 'base table', so there is no need to duplicate it on the field-handler level. Let's make use of the 'base table' level key instead too.

Minor, but this shouldn't be there.

Indeed, the patch is rather simple and short :)

Thanks, looks good. However, in the meantime #1172970: provide a unified way to retrieve result entities got committed - so I think we should make use of the views_handler_field_entity provided by views now.

ok, I've updated the patch to work upon that handler + worked over the entity-row plugin too, so it also makes use of the query-backend's entity loading.

Patch attached. Requires #1270890-13: provide a way to provide entity-related views fields to work.
(It turned out the generic entity-handler misses initialization of $this->entity_type)

re-rolled patch from #6 for the latest entity api version with following changes:

• reused the entity_views_handler_field_entity handler for the rendered entity field, which also required a few fixes in this class.
• renamed 'Entity view' to 'Rendered entity' for consistency
• fixed warnings in the row plugin in case a field_alias is not available (e.g. Search API)

Changing the name of the row plugin will require a cache clear when updating. In #1330874: Fatal Error Class 'EntityFieldHandlerHelper' not found in entity.views.inc an empty update function has already been added for a similar case, so I think that one should be enough.

thanks, committed.

bumping #1796110: Rendered entity fields show same result
by reopening and raising this issue - the handler seems broken for many use cases.

Working is going on in #1796110: Rendered entity fields show same result. I provided a patch there.
