When trying to use a view that shows users, the only information seen is the user history: no user name, even though that's in the view's page display. Screenshot attached.

Guys, the rendered entity for this module is a display type for the User Entity. Go to admin/config/people/accounts/display/entityreference_view_widget , and set the fields to be visible there. I have no idea why it defaults everything but history to be hidden... but it's simple to remedy. :)

yep, and use display suite module to expose more fields.

@7 Wonders

You gave me some hope there, but when activating Display Suite, my checkbox disappears as per this issue

I reccomend looking at this issue:

http://drupal.org/node/1382488

And keeping an eye on the sandbox module mentioned in that issue. It doesnt support users yet.

as per suggestion by ohthehugemanatee, it works. the problem i have is: the context of group id does not get info the widget on create node, only on edit. any suggestions?

PS: using mainly -dev versions.

The solution is to switch to the 2.x branch which no longer uses view modes, so you can add any fields you want.

And what if display type "entityreference_view_widget" for User Entity doesn't exist? Do I have to create that manually with DS or should that exist after activating the module?
