Integration with editablefields

#2: editablefields_integration_1841834_2.patch queued for re-testing.

Hi Roy,
When using title field in a view with multiple rows, only the title from the first row is updated as expected. It won't work on the next rows (views row > 0).

if (empty($form[$legacy_field]['#field_replacement'])) {
        if (!empty($form_state['values'][$field_name][0][$field_name][$langcode][0]['value'])) {
          $entity->{$legacy_field} = $form_state['values'][$field_name][0][$field_name][$langcode][0]['value'];
        }

Regards,
Oana

It is not a multiple title field. It is a view page with multiple results (rows). Each row contains a title field and other custom fields. The title field is saved correctly only for the first row. As I see in your code, the verification is done only for the first row: $form_state['values'][$field_name][0]

@Oana

Yes, same here. Patch above seems to works for a views first row, others not

Looking for integration with editablefields then you better instead try module Automatic Nodetitle http://drupal.org/project/auto_nodetitle
The 7.x-1.x-dev version seems to work fine.

I've also posted a comment "Editable title field (Automatic Nodetitle vs Title)" https://drupal.org/node/1915094 - enabling Automatic Nodetitle module will solve the editable title field issue for Editablefields module. I've tested it and works fine with Editablefields.
@RoySegall - What kind of patch do you have in mind?

@RoySegall
Hi, i'm looking your patch and it seems that if the title_field is not a multivalues field it doesn't work for editablefields.
I purpose a simple change to your patch to allow simple value field :

+      $field_name = $info['field']['field_name'];
+      // When the original property input is not in the form we need to apply
+      // the new replacement field value manually.
+      if (empty($form[$legacy_field]['#field_replacement'])) {
+        if (isset($form_state['values'][$field_name])) {
          if(isset($form_state['values'][$field_name][$langcode][0]['value'])){
              $entity->{$legacy_field} =$form_state['values'][$field_name][$langcode][0]['value'];
          }else{
+          foreach ($form_state['values'][$field_name] as $key => $value) {
+            if (!empty($form_state['values'][$field_name][$key][$field_name][$langcode][0]['value'])) {
+              $entity->{$legacy_field} = $form_state['values'][$field_name][$key][$field_name][$langcode][0]['value'];
+            }
+          }
           }  
+        }
+      }
+      else {

Sorry, I'm not very comfortable with patching...

The patch in #17 worked for my needs.

It allowed me to successfully edit the title as an editable field in a node (used in a panel).
However, it didn't work for me for editing an editable field in a single-row view (in a panel). I assume I was doing something different from what the others had described earlier.
Nevertheless, it was quite useful for what I needed.

I have created a diff patch out of what was in #17 (with a couple of extra lines from the top of #15 that had been left out, and a couple of minor formatting changes).

@transformative this patch worked a treat for me in the content node view. +1 RTBC
