In Views areas (header, footer, empty-text) are pluggable, this means you can write your own php logic to place whatever you want.
|
|
|
|
<h3>Requirements</h3>
|
|
You should have read <a href="topic:views/api">API</a> and <a href="topic:views/api-tables">Tables API</a> to get a basic knowledge
|
|
how to extend views.
|
|
|
|
<h3>Create your own area handler</h3>
|
|
|
|
The first step is to tell views: Hey i want to add a new area handler.
|
|
Therefore you have to implement hook_views_data and add a new one. For example:
|
|
|
|
<pre>
|
|
function yourmodule_views_data() {
|
|
$data['views']['collapsible_area'] = array(
|
|
'title' => t('Collabsible Text area'),
|
|
'help' => t('Provide collabsible markup text for the area.'),
|
|
'area' => array(
|
|
'handler' => 'yourmodule_handler_collapsible_area_text',
|
|
),
|
|
);
|
|
return $data;
|
|
}
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
The second step is to write this handler. Therefore create a file called yourmodule_handler_collapsible_area_text.inc and
|
|
add it to the .info file of your module.
|
|
|
|
Then add content to your area file like this:
|
|
<pre>
|
|
class yourmodule_handler_collapsible_area_text extends views_handler_area_text {
|
|
function render($empty = FALSE) {
|
|
// Here you just return a string of your content you want.
|
|
if ($render = parent::render($empty)) {
|
|
$element = array(
|
|
'#type' => 'fieldset',
|
|
'#title' => t('Title'),
|
|
'#value' => $render,
|
|
);
|
|
$output = theme('fieldset', $element);
|
|
return $output;
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
As on every handler you can add options so you can configure the behavior. If the area isn't shown yet in the views interface, please clear the cache :)
