Field Collection template support [#1764108]

hello!

would it be possible to provide panelizer/panels support for the Field Collection entity the same way we have for Node, User and Taxonomy?

this would allow:
- defining contexts/relationships, arguments and selection rules
- change layout for field collections the way you do with display suite (means "full" support for fields)
- replace some fields with some other data pulled from fields, views, etc

even more useful when combined with
http://drupal.org/project/entity_view_mode

great awsome module btw!

This actually should be relatively easy. In an ideal world, field_collection module (or a glue module, field_collection_panelizer, perhaps) implements the required plugin for field collections. In Panelizer 3.x, the view mode support means that the page manager portion of the integration is unnecessary, so you can just panelize the view mode(s) as needed and it should work everywhere.

The plugin to support an entity is quite simple (see taxonomy for an example) and should take anyone who is familiar with the plugin system only a small amount of time to implement.
