<p>I'm trying to create a node with an addressfield, and to do so I needed to add the following to Drupal7::expandEntityFields().</p>
<div class="codeblock">
<pre><span style="color: #000000"><span style="color: #0000BB"><?php<br></span><span style="color: #007700">elseif (</span><span style="color: #DD0000">'addressfield' </span><span style="color: #007700">=== </span><span style="color: #0000BB">$info</span><span style="color: #007700">[</span><span style="color: #DD0000">'module'</span><span style="color: #007700">]) {<br> foreach (</span><span style="color: #0000BB">$value </span><span style="color: #007700">as </span><span style="color: #0000BB">$key </span><span style="color: #007700">=> </span><span style="color: #0000BB">$data</span><span style="color: #007700">) {<br> </span><span style="color: #0000BB">$new_entity</span><span style="color: #007700">->{</span><span style="color: #0000BB">$param</span><span style="color: #007700">}[</span><span style="color: #0000BB">LANGUAGE_NONE</span><span style="color: #007700">][</span><span style="color: #0000BB">0</span><span style="color: #007700">][</span><span style="color: #0000BB">$key</span><span style="color: #007700">] = </span><span style="color: #0000BB">$data</span><span style="color: #007700">;<br> }<br>}<br></span><span style="color: #0000BB">?></span></span></pre></div>
<p>This way I can pass in </p>
<div class="codeblock">
<pre><span style="color: #000000"><span style="color: #0000BB"><?php<br> $node</span><span style="color: #007700">-></span><span style="color: #0000BB">field_address </span><span style="color: #007700">= array(<br> </span><span style="color: #DD0000">'organisation_name' </span><span style="color: #007700">=> </span><span style="color: #DD0000">'TestCorp'</span><span style="color: #007700">,<br> </span><span style="color: #DD0000">'country' </span><span style="color: #007700">=> </span><span style="color: #DD0000">'AU'</span><span style="color: #007700">,<br> </span><span style="color: #DD0000">'thoroughfare' </span><span style="color: #007700">=> </span><span style="color: #DD0000">'1 St George Tce'</span><span style="color: #007700">,<br> </span><span style="color: #DD0000">'premise' </span><span style="color: #007700">=> </span><span style="color: #DD0000">'Perth'</span><span style="color: #007700">,<br> </span><span style="color: #DD0000">'locality' </span><span style="color: #007700">=> </span><span style="color: #DD0000">'Perth'</span><span style="color: #007700">,<br> </span><span style="color: #DD0000">'administrative_area' </span><span style="color: #007700">=> </span><span style="color: #DD0000">'WA'</span><span style="color: #007700">,<br> </span><span style="color: #DD0000">'postal_code' </span><span style="color: #007700">=> </span><span style="color: #DD0000">'6000'</span><span style="color: #007700">,<br> );<br></span><span style="color: #0000BB">?></span></span></pre></div>
<p>and have it save the field.</p>
<p>I realise this area of the code will be refactored at some point, so don't forget poor old addressfield!.</p>
