Entity Construction Kit (ECK)

The Entity Construction Kit creates entities for you!

- So, How do you use it?

-- Entity Type Administration

The main administration page is located at /admin/structure/eck Here you will be
able to see all of the entities you have created, under the "Overview" tab.
There is, also, an "Add Entity Type" Link. This is were you go to create your
entities, simply give a name for your entity, and that is it. ECK creates
entities for the purpose of adding fields to them, so it will create a bundle
for you automatically. The name of this bundle is the same that the name that
you gave your entity type. If you want your first bundle to be called something
different just add the bundle name when creating the entity type. After adding
an entity type, you can go back to the overview tab and see a link to you Bundle
administration section.

-- Bundle Administration

If you click on an Entity Type's name, you will be taken the the Bundle
administration page. Here you will see the bundle that was created automatically
for you, and will be able to add more bundles for your entity type. Entity
Administration

If you click on a bundle of your entity type, you will be taken to the entity
administration table. There you can add fields to your bundle manage the display
for the different view modes, and create new entities. Once an entity is created
it will be shown in the overview tab, and you can further view or edit your
entity from there.

That is all.
