A New Module from mandclu
Views Editable Entity Header / Footer Area Plugin
This module adds a new plugin for displaying an entity in the header or footer of a view. It builds on the plugin provided by core by:
Providing a single plugin that can work with all entity types (currently hardcoded to storage entities, but will soon allow selection using an autocomplete)
Also providing a link to edit the displayed entity, which only appears for users with the necessary permissions
The link can optionally open the form in the same page, in a modal, or in the settings tray (sidebar)
One or more classes can be provided, for example to make the link appear as a button
