I have a product display node and I’m trying to add a rental form to the node so that anyone can submit a rental form and have that reference the node. I was thinking of making the rental form a new Content Type so that the author information is automatically stored. I was also looking at Entityforms and specifically Inline EntityForms since that seems to incorporate the entityreference field.
Approach 1
What’s interesting about the Inline Entityform is that you don’t need an Entityform type to use it. You can select the Target type as ‘node’ and have that create a node form within the parent node’s edit page.
The problem I’m facing with this approach is that you can’t render the form on the front-end. I’ve tried setting the Display settings to ‘Rendered entity’ and I’m still not seeing anything on the front-end of the parent node, logged in as admin.
Is the Inline Entityform module only for embedding node add forms to the back-end?
Approach 2
The second approach was using Inline Entityform to target a node of type ‘Rental’ with the same settings but I was still unable to produce a node add form on the parent node front-end.
I do not want to use Panels but it’s looking like I might have to? Any thoughts are appreciated.
