I have a custom module which defines a custom entity. On a content type, I have an 'Entity reference' field that let's me select a custom entity. The value is saved in the database (I looked directly to the database) but is missing when the node is viewed.

if I dump the $node in hook_node_update($node) I can see the referenced value is there. But on hook_node_view($nodes, $types) the value is gone.

The funny part is that in a view, if I create a relation based on this field, I can see the entity's fields, but not the entity reference field value :))

Other types of entities are displayed correctly though, the problem is only with my custom entity

Any help would be very appreciated :) Thanks

  • did you look at display setting page? – Mohammad Ali Akbari Apr 27 '12 at 17:15
  • yeah, I tried all the options available with no luck. – Marius Ilie Apr 27 '12 at 17:19
  • if you are using Entity reference module, which formatter you set in display setting? title only or rendered entry – Mohammad Ali Akbari Apr 27 '12 at 17:28
  • I tried all of them: label, entity ID and rendered entity. Nothing worked :( – Marius Ilie Apr 30 '12 at 8:46

I just Googled the same issue and was led to this page.

You need to implement an access callback in hook_entity_info(), else the entity reference field won't load the entity.

Still haven't found an answer so I decided to try the model module. Looks ok now :)

LATER EDIT: eck module seems the best way to work with entities
