Hello:
I'm developing a new plugin for views 2. It allows users to apply the same filter multiple times with different values.
Then, a user can make a lists of nodes and filter all nodes created by user admin where nid beetween 4 and 6 OR node id greather than 16.
The plugin works, it has some (a lot of) bugs still, but works.
Filters are saved into $_SESSION variable like drupal does for "content admininstration" and "user administration" screens.
What I'm triying to do is display a button to delete a specific value in $_SESSION. I can't use hook_form_alter() to alter the form exposed filter because $_SESSION is not updated when hook_form_alter() is executed (I don't know why)
To render the table I'm using render() function into my display plugin (see atached module)
I understand that FORM API will not allow to add a form element by this way.
The question then is, How can I do that?
I'm attaching the whole module, this module is not ready for production use and is not present in drupal.org yet. A project for it will be created once it has been further developed. Please be free to make any suggestions. I have programed a few modules before, but views API is a bit more complex :P.
More than anything else I would
- like to get confirmation that I am going in the right direction
- collaborate with anyone else in the community working on something similar
Rename file to .tar.gz and untar.

Thanks. I have solved my

I have solved my problem. Here is a preview of the plugin interface:
However now I have another problem.
Views build the exposed filter forms using values from url. Something like:
http://localhost/my_view_name?xgroup_op=AND&xgroup_id=0&xfilters=nid&type_1_op=in&nid_op=%3D&type_1=All&nid[value]=7&nid[min]=&nid[max]=&form_build_id=form-227391ba4f2b2ee5d98c14f202f0596c&form_token=3b117bf5b8c24987fd674a55f194194e&form_id=views_exposed_form&xview=contenido
What I need is prevent this behaviour, and redirect the submit form to http://localhost/my_view_name
Why? Well, with this plugin users applies only one filter per submit, and I need that exposed filters "don't remember" their values from the last submit.
The code of the module is attached.
I think that this module can make great administrative interfaces for drupal. But I need a bit of help to continue developing this module, there are some aspects very hard to solve with my knowledge of API Views
