About this Module

The Simple Modal Entity Form module provides a way to edit (content) entities in a modal.

Features:

  1. Views fields (edit and delete links)
  2. Action Links (See instructions)
  3. Specifying form display modes

Instructions

For ckeditor modals (Media, Link) to work within a modal the following core patch needs to be applied:

Issue: https://www.drupal.org/project/drupal/issues/2741877
Patch: https://www.drupal.org/files/issues/2020-04-20/2741877-48.patch

This is by no means a final patch, but the only one that seems the be available to fix this issue.

This module will work with this patch if present.

The operation links for editing and deleting entities are automatically added to the Views UI.

To add an action for a 'modal' entity form, add the following to your module.action.yml file: 

your_module.your_link:
  route_name: modal_entity_form.add
  route_parameters:
    entity_type: foo
    bundle: bar
    form_mode: baz
  appears_on:
      - some.router.link
  title: 'Add entity'
  class: 'Drupal\modal_entity_form\Menu\LocalActionWithModal'

Checkout the modal_entity_form.routing.yml for the other routes available.

If the entity type doesn't support bundles, just repeat the entity type.

Wish list

- Add tests.
- Provide a widget for the entity reference field type.
