Could i add more options to Base field handler? [#1242372]

I want to add options like "Trim this field to a maximum length from the right" instead of "Trim this field to a maximum length" - the base is from the left , So that it takes effect to all not just a special field.

I need to add more options to views_handler_field as a base . They will exist for all fields(like Exclude from display, Rewrite the output of this field, Output this field as a link ...) when extends this class.

The issue can summary like this : I added text field using cck. Input will be '273199'. I need to output just '199' using views.

Hope everyone could understand me?

Regards.

Sure, isn't that hard to understand.

So in general there are no new features added against 6.x-2.x, just again 6/7.x-3.x
Second you could perhaps emulate this by using 6.x-3.x and have ctools enabled and
use the global: math field. To be able to truncate this way you would need to write a module which provides a single argument function. If you have written this you would perhaps be able to use your new function
if http://drupal.org/node/1127678 would have been commited to 6.x, which is not.
