unl_person

==========

Creates a unl_people remote entity, which gets its data from directory.unl.edu and itegrates with entityreference autocomplete.

Features

--------

* Add a unl_person entity

* Retrieves unl_person entity data from directory.unl.edu via APIs

* Integrates with entityreference for autocomplete support.

Using Entity Reference

----------------------

When setting up an entityreference field that uses unl_person, there are a few things to keep in mind.

1. Target Type = `UNL Person`

2. Entity Selection mode = `UNL Person`

3. Additional Behavior = check `UNL Person behavior`

The `UNL Person` Entity Selection Mode tells entityselection to use our custom selection class instead of the normal sql selection mode.  This will query the directory via an API.

The `UNL Person behavior` will edit the schema of the field to allow the target_id to be varchar.

View Modes

----------

Currently `unl_person` only supports the teaser view mode.
