I am facing problem in drupal views.
In my view display table having relationship with other entity type.
I am not getting desire output. It show duplicate rows with same title due to entity relationship.
I wanted to aggregate entity relationship field with ",".
I already try some module like : view distinct, views_merge_rows.
But did not work for me.
Please suggest some module.
Have a look at Views Calc and if you cant do it in the database Views Aggregator Plus gives you even more options.

I'm creating a data entity with multiple tables and I'm getting duplicate results. Because of the nature of the duplicates, I thought an easy solution would be to add the relevant fields to the Group By section in the primary datasource. However, when I run the entity as a data project in the DMF, I'm getting the following error:
Has anybody run into this before and how do I resolve it? I've tried adding the RecId to the group by (even though it shouldn't even be in the select list as it is not in the field list for the entity). I have noticed that adding fields to the Group By section changes the view in SQL and removes all of the RecId#2, Partitian#2 etc. fields. Does the Group By section even work or is it a broken "feature"?
The entity works perfectly (other than with duplicate results of course) when I remove all fields from the group by section.
UPDATE: From what I can find online, the group by functionality doesn't work. I'll update this question if somebody finds an answer. I am lucky this was an XML export, so I was able to use a XSLT file in the transformations under data entity mapping to remove duplicates.
Trying to figure out views relationships and filters.
I'm trying to make a view that has the title of the page match the entity reference of the same page and make it reactive so I only need one. EX.) Page about animals, which there are nodes referencing the animal page as an entity reference.
Firstly, you have to take one unique field which can identify whether particular node is for animals or etc.
After that, In your views you need to select that field name in contextual filter and select option as you can see in screenshot and then save it.
I have a Symfony app using multiple entities.
A third-party analytic tool plugs to my database to create reportings.
What I would like to achieve, is being able to update the Symfony entity from the frontend in order to add new fields to the database tables (in order to get the new fields showing up in the reporting tool).
Anyone has a idea on how to achieve that?
Thanks in advance.
If i understand correctly, you wan't to be able to add fields to your entity dynamicaly.
I don't know if this is doable and if so, it would probably be messy and unsecure.
What you can do however is using sub-entities with dynamic key => values fields.
You should have one main entity, an entity with the list of your dynamic fields, a many to many relation between your main entity and your fields entities and a third entity with the actual values from those fields.
I have an entity data model with two entities. One entity called Posts contains blog posts and another entity called Comment contains comments. I set up the association as a one to many relationship and the primary keys are both postid in both Posts and Comment.
However, when I try to bind this to an entitydatasource control it only lets me select either the Posts or the Comment entity set not both. What I want to do is to be able to bind the post with its comments to the data source, but I can't seem to figure out a way to do this.
Any help would be appreciated!
I have a content type appointment with a date field that references nodes of the content type person using the Nodereference module. In the content type person I added a Nodereferrer field that shows the reverse of this references (Person -> appointments).
I now want to create a view of person nodes that shows the last appointment date of that person. I can create a View of persons with a relationship to appointments that displays all appointments, but I have no idea on how to display only the most recent one.
Any ideas on how to achieve this?
Personally I have not had much success with using views and node reference. It never seems to work out the relationships properly.
So my advice would be to write your own query. If you look here you can see a way to override the SQL generated by views, so you still get a lot of the goodness which comes with views.
By the way I would be very interest to see if there is a better answer than this
Instead of adding the Nodereferrer field to the view, try adding the Nodereferrer relationship then adding the Node title (using that relationship) as a field. You should be able to sort from newest to oldest, and then set the view to be Distinct so that only the first row for each person shows up.
