This module provides special display options for fields that link to other content within Drupal, such as nodes, users, or taxonomy terms. It allows you to configure these links to only show published or active referenced items, preventing unpublished content from appearing. You can select from options to display the ID, label, or the full rendered output of the published referenced entity.
The Published referenced entity is a drupal module that implement the specialized display format for fields that reference other entities. In Drupal, entities are a fundamental concept and can represent various types of content, such as nodes, users, taxonomy terms, etc.
By default, Drupal provides a set of field formatters for different field types. However, in certain cases, you may want to display only published entities or active users for fields that reference entities.
The module provides an administrative interface where you can configure the settings for the field formatter. Once the module is enabled, you would be able to select the field formatter for referenced entity fields on the Manage Display configuration page of the entity type to which the field belongs. If you have referenced entities that are not published, they will not be displayed when rendering the entity reference field. This module provides the following formatters for the nodes, users and taxonomy terms referenced entity field:
- Published Entity ID
- Published Entity Label
- Published Rendered Entity
