Entity Reference Filtering Link provides a new configurable field formatter
for entity reference fields. The filter lets you use tags on a node (or other
entity) to serve as links to a pre-filtered search page (or any view).
Per field instance, the path, mode and argument name can be specified. For
clarity with a base page of /search, argument name of tag, and a taxonomy
term "StarTrek" with id of 7 the following would be the resultant urls:
| Mode | Example URL |
|---|---|
| Standard [$id] | https://example.com/search?tag=7 |
| Standard Multiple[] [$id] | https://example.com/search?tag[]=7 |
| Standard Double Bracketed Multiple[$id] [$id] | https://example.com/search?tag[7]=7 |
| Autocomplete [$label ($id)] | https://example.com/search?tag=StarTrek (7) |
| Facet - ID [$id] | https://example.com/search?f[0]=tag:7 |
| Facet - Label [$label] | https://example.com/search?f[0]=tag:StarTrek |
| Label [$label] | https://example.com/search?tag=StarTrek |
A second field formatter is provided with identical functionality other than an
added option to exclude some entities from the link by label.
