Hi

I am just curious if there is a way of tricking the items array returned from hook_view_draw() whereby some of the array elements do not reference a field within a table in a database, but actually a input like a button?

For example using users table, generate a view from a custom hook_view_draw() the following:

Sortable Sortable
[User ID 1][User Name 1][Update Button for User ID 1][Delete Button for User ID 1]
[User ID 2][User Name 2][Update Button for User ID 2][Delete Button for User ID 2]

Hey Guys,

I'm trying to change the date filter for one of my views dynamically so I can output a set of nodes from a fixed time frame depending on the views argument. For example, if the argument date is 2-19-09, I would like the view to display all nodes created between 2-10-09 to 3-10-09. I wrote the script to calculate the min and max date for the view, however, when I try to set those parameters and display the view the date range limit is not applied.

In hook_views_tables, I used the 'extra' field to make sure that when my table was used in a view,it ony used records which matched the current group. i.e.:

Hello people and thank for the help in advance.
I'm creating this thread because i have a problem theming views.

I would like to use the same template file for views with diferente names.

For example:

View_A  -> template_file_view_ab.tlp.php
View_B  -> template_file_view_ab.tlp.php

View_C  -> template_file_view_cd.tlp.php
View_D  -> template_file_view_cd.tlp.php

Does anyone knows how to do it?

Thanks in advance.

Is there a way (aside from using hook_form_alter or something similar) to have an exposed filter be a select element?

I have a view in which one of the exposed fields is "Category" and there are only 9 or 10 distinct values in the database field. Rather than having to type in one of the categories, I'd like for users to simply choose from a select box.

My apologies if this question should belong in either the OG or CCK groups; this seemed to me to be the appropriate place to ask since the core of my question relates to creating a View.

I have a node type "Accounts" that is an OG node. "Accounts" has one CCK user-reference field added.

I have a node type "Transactions" that is an OG post, intended to be posted only to the OG "Accounts." Transactions also has one CCK user-reference field.

When I create a "Transaction" (the OG post) I want to have checkboxes displaying only the users referenced by the "Account" (the OG node).

I am currently in the very beginning stages of writing a book on Drupal Content Types that will focus on Core, CCK, and Views. I have a first draft of the outline that I am working on. I would love to get community feedback to help shape the book at this very early stage.

When using Term argument the handler is views_handler_argument_string.
There, the title() is not being translated.
It is a very small fix to make it work, but of course "hacking" the handler is probably not a good idea.

What do you think should be the "right" solution ?
Create a new handler - views_handler_argument_translated_string - won't be enough, since I will need to change taxonomy.views.inc to point to the new handler...

Thanks,

Working with Views2 I've found two places where I had to patch query.inc. Not a nice solution really. So, I've described both problems below and hope somebody will tell me that there is better way to handle them.
