Allow entities to be added/edited/viewed within a modal dialog, without requiring a page reload.

Look Ma! No ctools!

Compatibility notes.

This module implements rocket science... at least, Drupal 7's APIs make it feel like it. To do what it does, entity_dialog requires Drupal 7.23 or newer, and depends on Entity API module.

Unfortunately Drupal 7 does not mandate that modules define entities in a consistent fashion. Modules which rely on the Entity API module are more likely to provide sufficient information for entity_dialog to do its thing.

Certain contributed modules define entities which will not work with entity_dialog unless a bit of code is added to entity_dialog to enable it (developers: need to implement the entityDialogContribInterface interface).

Known entities which DO work:

  • Taxonomy vocabs
  • Taxonomy terms
  • Nodes
  • Users
  • all ECK entities
  • all Relation entities

Known entities which DO NOT currently work, as reported in the issue queue:
