Some of the features aren't used yet in the Drupal core. For example the node is missing its entity class, taxonomies still saved with drupal_write_record, etc.</p> <p>I will present how to use entities to really benefit from them in a project. The presented topics will be:</p> <ul> <li>how to declare an entity?</li> <li>entity properties and fieldable entities</li> <li>what is the entity class?</li> <li>what is the entity controller class?</li> <li>examples of using entity metadata wrapper</li> <li>why to use entity field query instead db_select</li> </ul> <p>All of the above topics will be presented with real life examples in a few lines of code.</p><div class="field field-type-link field-field-slide"> <div class="field-label">Resources:&nbsp;</div> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> <a href="http://www.slideshare.net/skipyT/entities-in-drupal-7" target="_blank">Slideshare.net</a> </div> </div> </div> entity entity API entity class entity field query entity metadata wrapper entiy controller Tue, 16 Oct 2012 12:01:57 +0000 skipyT 1297 at http://arad2012.drupalcamp.ro
