views

This is how you can embed forms in to a Views view in Drupal 6 with the module Views Embed Form.


//Create a hook_views_embed_form
//Needs to be [your module name] + '_views_embed_form' but can exists in a inc file
function mymodule_views_embed_form() {
//Set a user permission if needed
if (user_access('administer workflow state')) {
return array(
'mymodule_embedded_ticket_form' => t('My form name'),
);
}else{
return array(); //I added this to avoid error message if user has no access to the form
}
}

//Create a form, remember

This module allows you to add PHP to a field in views UI module

http://drupal.org/project/views_customfield

This is how you can sort your view on taxonomy term weight programmatically instead of using the default Summary, sorted ascending/descending

/*
* Hook views_pre_execute
*
*/
function mymodule_views_pre_execute(&$view) {
if ($view->name == 'opportunity_summary' && $view->current_display == 'block_1') {
$search = array('ORDER BY term_data_name ASC');
$replace = array('ORDER BY term_data.weight ASC');
$view->build_info['query'] = str_replace($search, $replace, $view->build_info['query']);
$view->build_info['count_query'] = str_replace($search, $replace,

If you want your result list to be empty the first time you load the view, but if you press Apply when filters are set to Any, you want all to be shown, then you can configure it like this.

Add Argument: Global NULL
Mark: Provide default argument
Mark: PHP Code
PHP argument code:

If you need to modify views filter from your module, e.g when changing settings to a content type, you maybe whant a CCK autocomplete filed to be filtered as well.


/**
* Change views filter according to saved settings
*
* Thank heaven when you can manipulate views arguments in autocomplete CCK :-)
*
*/
function _save_allowed_node_types($node_types) {

$set_types = array();
foreach ($node_types as $key => $value) {
if ($value != "0") {
$set_types[$key] = $value;
}
}

$get_view = db_query('SELECT vid FROM {views_view}

This is how you can get the view embedded. Another nice little trick is to actually embed the view in the node content/body, template or a function in your module. This way you don't have to create a region just for the gallery system, and it is so simple that it would be a shame not to do it this way! The only thing you need to do is to edit the node template of your theme, and paste a little snippet of code that will tell drupal which view and which display to embed. The code is like this :
