This following code snippet is the value of page callback from hook_menu(). However, I cannot connect entity_view and the page template. How can I print or access the entity_view returned in this code from my page template?

function example_task_view($task) {
  drupal_set_title(entity_label('example_task', $task));
  return entity_view('example_task', array(entity_id('example_task', $task) => $task), 'full');
}

You should pass the array of fully-loaded entity objects to the entity_view function, not only the id.

For example:

...
$entity = entity_load('example_task', array($task);
return entity_view('example_task', $entity, 'full');

  • If you look at the example code in my answer, you load the entity in the page callback function and return the view of it, which is a render array. The entity should already be printed on the page without any template. However, if you need to use your own template, i.e. override the page.tpl.php; you should be able to print it manually in the template like print render($page['content']); but I didn't test it.
