Entityqueue Form Widget Documentation

A Drupal module that streamlines entity queue management by integrating queue assignment directly into node add and edit forms.

What is Entityqueue Form Widget?

Entityqueue Form Widget enhances your content management workflow by allowing editors to assign content to entity queues directly from the node creation and editing forms. Instead of creating content separately from queue management, editors can now assign queues immediately while working on the content. This saves time and improves editorial efficiency.

Key Features

  • Integrated Queue Management: Manage entity queues directly from the node form sidebar
  • Streamlined Workflow: No need to navigate away from content editing to manage queues
  • Multi-Queue Support: Easily assign content to multiple queues simultaneously
  • Form-Based Assignment: Queue assignment works alongside other node form fields
  • Automatic Widget Display: Queues automatically appear in the form widget based on configuration
  • Compatible with Entityqueue: Works seamlessly with the Entityqueue module

Key Concepts

Entity Queues

Entity queues are ordered lists of entities (typically nodes) managed by the Entityqueue module. Queues are used to:

  • Create curated content collections
  • Build featured content sections
  • Manage related content
  • Create priority-based content lists

The Form Widget

The Entityqueue Form Widget adds a convenient sidebar field group to node forms that displays available queues and allows editors to assign or remove the current node from queues with simple checkboxes.

Subqueues

Each queue is composed of subqueues. A subqueue is a record linking an entity (like a node) to a specific queue.
