Expose field-collection operational links in views

I think each link should be exposed on its own. Then we should make use of the recently added views_handler_field_entity to ensure we are getting real entity objects.

Also, we might want to look into exposing them automatically with the entity api? For that we would have to improve it to allow modules to specify the edit and delete urls somehow.

#1: field_collection_expose_operational_links_to_views_1309332-1.patch queued for re-testing.

Here's a quick and dirty re-roll of #1 that works for me against latest dev.
It would be even awesomer if we could somehow make this work with views' Global: Contextual Links handler.

OK, here's a much better patch, imo

• implemented "crud info", similar to the discussion going on in entity api:
  #1333870-14: Add links to entity views integration
• added views handler "field_collection_handler_field_url.inc" that extends "views_handler_field_url"
• exposed crud fields to views through field_collection_field_views_data()

In conjunction with this patch: #1638074: views_handler_field_url is not compatible with views_handler_field_contextual_links, these urls will work with gracefully with contextual links. (as it stands, they'll still work, but you'll have to play with rewriting the output of the field).

... and the patch

this is a good patch.
i give up.

Hi guys!

First of all I want to thank fago for this beautiful module and thank you guys for your patches!
Here is updated patch:

1. Handler extends new views_handler_field_entity handler as fago proposed.
2. Added permission checks.
3. Also I have removed view and add links. I think they are unnecessary here.

Is this a duplicate:

Seems like a dupe, and the other issue is passing tests.
