Sorry it isn't working for you. I would need a full installation and a debugger to understand what's going on. In any case, be aware that dpm() does have some limitations. While it can show public properties of objects, I don't think it will list view() (which is a method not a property). This documentation says that the FieldCollectionItemEntity should have a view() method since it extends the Entity class.

Not really, sorry : as you can see in dpm($fieldcollection), there's no view property in FieldCollectionItemEntity object. So $field_collection->view('full') or similar fails. I already went several times to related manage display page and tried all possibilities :(( At the moment I ended chaining #markup of each field_view_field child array, which is a horrible solution

That page should allow you to configure the visibility, formatter and order of the fields in your field collection. Does that answer your question? | |

Of course you can't do the job for me ;) I edited the question with my progress. field_collection_field_get_entity is a kind of shortcut that gives me the full FieldCollectionItemEntity, but I still feel stupid on how to render all children fields

OK, I don't know what the rest of your code does so that's hard to debug for me. You could try return drupal_render($field_collection->view('full')); instead. Also, make sure the full view mode of the field collection is configured correctly.

Thanks for you answer ! Out of the box, your snippet returns field_collection_item: ? Not sure I understand how you suggest to use it.
