Q&A
- UI to manage defaults per entity type and bundle.
- Can override tags per entity instance, but there is a trick.
- Tags are plugins. Yay!
- Flexible UI to add patterns for entities.
- Very close to reach to a stable release.
Hey Juampy: create an issue for that bug.
- Main tokens are available: global tokens, field tokens.
- Token browser works as in Drupal 7.
- Pending: chained tokens ([node:field_sample_entity_reference:title].
- Pending: further multilingual support.
- Pending: automatic support for field properties ([test_field:format]).
4 Field Collection (Kiko)
- 8.x-1.x has an alpha release. Works but ugly code.
- 8.x-2.x looks promising. Uses Inline Entity Form.
6 Workbench Moderation (Antonio)
- Slightly different UI for moderating.
- Works on all revisionable entities (nodes, blocks, etc).
- Great module to look upon for best practices.
- Similar UI than in Drupal 7.
- Just got moved to Drupal.org (was on GitHub).
- Serves as a home for Panels variants.
- Leverage's CTools Wizard API.
- Uses Condition API, Context API, and Tempstore API, among others.
- Defines a panel variant for Page Manager.
- Work in progress: it's UI works but it still needs a lot of love.
