Drupal 6 Views embeding and passing filters



  • Load a view:

    <?php
    $view     = views_get_view('view_name');
    ?>

  • Initalize it and add arguments. Fiddle with options as needed:

    <?php
    $view    ->set_display('default');
    $view->set_arguments(array('first', 'second'));
    $view->is_cacheable = FALSE;
    $view->display['default']->handler->options['items_per_page'] = 3;
    $view->display['default']->handler->options['title'] = $title;
    $view->display['default']->handler->options['display_options']['use_pager'] = FALSE;
    ?>

  • Or add a filter. Works for fields, sorts, and arguments as well.

    <?php
    $display_id     = 'default';
    $view->set_display($display_id);
    $id = $view->add_item($display_id, 'filter', 'og_uid', 'is_admin');
    $item = $view->get_item($display_id, 'filter', $id);
    $item['value'] = array(0, 1);
    $view->set_item($display_id, 'filter', $name, $item);
    $view->is_cacheable = FALSE;
    ?>

  • Get an array of the view result objects:

    <?php
    $view    ->execute();
    foreach (    $view->result as $result) {
      foreach (    $view->field as $id => $field) {
          if (!empty(    $view->field[$id]['handler'])) {
                $view->field[$id]['handler']->pre_render($view->result);
                // Do something with this unrendered result object
              }
        }
    }
    ?>

  • Another way to get array of results:

    <?php
    $view    ->render();
    foreach (    $view->result as $result) {
          // Do something with this rendered result object
    }
    ?>

  • Use a custom display plugin

    <?php
    $display_id     = $view->add_display('my plugin');
    $result = $view->render($display_id);
    ?>

  • Another method

    <?php
    $view     = views_get_view('my_view');
    $view->execute_display($display_id, $args);
    ?>

Through Arguments:-

$view = views_get_view('view_name');
$view->set_display('default');
$view->pager['items_per_page'] = 5;
$view->set_arguments(array($id));
$result = $view->render();
$view->is_cacheable = TRUE;
print $result;

Through Filters:-

$view = views_get_view('view_name');
$view->pager['items_per_page'] = 3;
$display_id = 'block_1';
$view->set_display($display_id);
$item = $view->get_item($display_id, 'filter', 'title');
$item2 = $view->get_item($display_id, 'filter', 'nid');
$item['value'] = $load_node->title;
$item2['value'] = array('value'=> $load_node->nid);
$view->set_item($display_id, 'filter', 'title', $item);
$view->set_item($display_id, 'filter', 'nid', $item2);
$view->is_cacheable = FALSE;
$view->execute();
$output = $view->render();
print $output;

Brilliant, thanks
