ccl for views

Here is the patch off the latest dev.

Just before I uploaded I realized that if someone didn't have views installed it might break. I don't know why someone wouldn't have views installed but I will look into creating a couple of conditions and up another patch soon.

I was thinking of that. It would probably mean some changes in the module to make it more of an api and then it would be easier to add support to views - panels - and what ever else uses contextual links. Even blocks could be separated as some people might disable blocks.

I was thinking that the table could be re factored to combine ct nid block and now view into a generic column that could be used for all link types. That way when things expand more the table doesn't go out of control.

I am hoping to spend a little time on this weekend - If you have done any thinking or doing, let me know. I don't want to repeat the effort.

I have been itching to get some time to make patches and help out. I will gladly rework the ccl_views module. Now that I spent the time to understand all of you code it will go smoothly. I learned a lot going through the code. I think that your implementation of caching is great and will save on a great deal of queries. Making the module extendable will give it a much easier expansion path.

Excited to see the new code tomorrow.

I have just started getting things going but here is an important patch for the ccl.install.

Your updates hooks work great but if you are not upgrading the schema is the old schema.

I will include this in my final patch as well if you want to wait.

Here is the complete patch.

I don't know how or if a patch can make a new folder for the 2 new files are not in a folder.

I had to make one tweak to ccl.admin.inc to make things work.

There had to be a test to see if the link info was created or else the next module would just over write it with ""

else {
        foreach (module_implements('ccl_link_info') as $module) {
          $options = module_invoke($module, 'ccl_link_info', $record);
          if($options){
            break;
          }
        }
      }

I have tested out the basics but will test it out more tonight. Things seem to be working as they were before.

Yes there were errors in the write to cache

here is a patch for the ccl_views,module

It has to be used inside the ccl_views folder.
