field_get_display does not get the entity

subscribe.

Could you provide a use case ?
(why not I guess, but why ?)

- this needs to be altered in hook_field_display_ENTITY_TYPE_alter() as well, and in the existing node_field_display_node_alter() implementation.

Use case, sticky posts show an image in teaser, otherwise dont

Yes, but

+    'entitie*s*' => $entitie*s*,

field_default_prepare_view() runs in 'multiple entities' mode (that's because hook_field_prepare_view() and hook_field_formatter_prepare_view() typically load additional stuff from the db).
Here field_get_display() is called in the context of several entities and returns one $display. So your alter hook can't separate sticky nodes from non-sticky ones.
That's why I'm wondering about use cases at all.

Hm, I was on crack when writing the above.
field_default_prepare_view() runs in 'multiple entities' mode, but calls field_get_display() entity by entity ($id by $id).
So it should be ok, but the additional $context entry is 'entity', not 'entities'

See attached patch (my first patch using git :-p)

This makes sense to me. Committed to CVS HEAD.
