Allow for any fieldable entity to be ordered

Leaving this at needs review because i suspect it will work for someone setting up a view fresh.

I think my problem is that i need to add the file ID as a field to my view (true?) and that in the meantime the preview display is choking without this.

My error messages quarantined over at my site http://data.agaric.com/making-draggableviews-work-files-and-any-entity-n...

Thanks greatly tekante for the patch and i hope it's a configuration issue on my end that it is not working with Files. Will be back to try / test more this afternoon.

Tekantes patch does not allow to use fields which are not in the base table.
I reworked this and the language setting.

As I had no time today I will test it tomorrow and attach the patch.

The patch works for me for:

Nodes without relations
Entities without relations
Nodes with relations
Entities with relations

As the name of my entity base table differs from the entity name I have to iterate through entity_get_info();
Is there a better way to search an entity type for a given base_table?

+    // Get the entity type for this field
+    $entity_info = entity_get_info();
+    foreach ($entity_info as $entity_type => $entity) {
+      if ($entity['base table'] == $this->field->base_table) {
+        $this->entity_type = $entity_type;
+        break;
+      }
+    }

Update: Included #1242382: Node reference integration not working

The #1 and #6 patch are working for me. I tried them hoping they would fix the Field API handler ordering and it did. Thanks guys!

Sorry my bad. I used entity_load_single from the entity api module.

I get the following error after applying the last patch.

Notice: Undefined index: und in views_handler_field_field->get_value() (line 719 of /var/www/site/dev/d7/sites/all/modules/contrib/views/modules/field/views_handler_field_field.inc).

I am trying to get draggableview to set a parent using the reference module and fieldAPI, It doens't seem to be working either with or without this patch.

I upgraded views to views-3-dev rather than rc1 and now I get this error:
Warning: array_flip() expects parameter 1 to be array, integer given in DrupalDefaultEntityController->load() (line 178 of /var/www/site/dev/d7/includes/entity.inc).

+1

This patch should fix comment #11 and I think #12.

This attached patch is the same as the -11.patch in post #14, except that it was made using git diff.

Oh yeah I forgot to commit the array patch.
Thanks mtravers.

#14 and #15 did not solve #12.

I get the same errors.

I get the following error after applying that patch....
Notice: Undefined index: id in draggableviews_views_pre_execute() (line 252 of /***/sites/all/modules/contrib/draggableviews/draggableviews.module).

However the functionality now seems to work exactly as it should. I can get parent and order fields to save and display correctly using the FieldAPI in the Draggable Views settings.

Any ideas how to fix the error though?

I can confirm the patch also works for me. Thanks to everyone who worked on it!

@medden: try the latest patch over at #1292536: Notice: Undefined index: id in draggableviews_views_pre_execute(), line 252/258, draggableviews.module

I can confirm that downloading a fresh 7-01 dev version of this module and applying the patch mentioned in #20 worked.
No more error messages.

Thanks Klonos!

@medden: thanx for taking the time to report back. I'm glad it worked for you. Can you please repeat your confirmation that it works in the other issue's queue where it belongs ;)

The patches in the previous comments are for 7.x-1.x-dev. This is now an unsupported branch. Everything should be fixed in 7.x-2.0 and 7.x-2.x-dev.

I think the only thing that is not working is Entity References and Field Collections. They have their own issues
#1777646: How to work with Entity References
#1904182: Save to Field Collection item ID

If I am wrong, then reopen this issue, or, because of the age of this issue, create a new one.

Setting back to fixed.
