The Display suite module is an API which other modules can use to store and manipulate display data for objects (nodes, users, comments, etc). Modules implementing this API automatically get an interface for adding build modes, fields and plugins either through code or via the UI. Key features of the API:

  • Regions: every field can be dropped in its own region per build mode.
  • Choose formatters and labels per build mode
  • Define custom build modes via the UI.
  • Define custom (block) fields via the UI with token support.
  • Define custom fieldgroups via the UI.
  • Hooks for adding and overriding custom fields, plugins and build modes.
  • Plugins to alter the display at runtime.
  • Import & export functionality.
  • Views and basic Features support.
