When VFV is enabled it conflicts with the view area handler provided by views, so this disappears.

I agree with this, specifically this paragraph is wrong.

"This module allows you to embed a view as a field in a view. A new global field handler is made available, so this can also be used in area (header/footer/empty) handlers as well as rows."

It says a 'new global field handler' is made available. It should say that a new global field handler will replace the current one, wiping out any header/footer views you already had in place.

Frustrating as I installed this module to get some views fields and it broke my existing views configuration.

Can you provide a bit more info please or maybe an export of your view? Can you explain the steps to re create this? If there is a problem, we can try to fix it. Without a very helpful description of the issue it's difficult.

Sure no problem. As seen in the image all footer 'View area' became just 'View' and I had to reconfigure all the 'View' footer fields to point to the correct view-display. Also when I select a view through here, it does some ajax loading but doesn't bring up the form to select the display until I save and re-open that 'View' footer field.

Title: Improve/expand project page text » Conflict with 'view area' handler.

I think I can see the problem here. It looks like this module is conflicting with the global view area handler provided by views. I will look into this.

In the future, can you please not put bug reports into issues that are clearly not bug reports. This issue was meant to just be for improving the documentation, which this isn't anything to do with. A new issue would be the thing to do :)

There was a conflict with the naming of the view area and views_field_view area handlers in hook_views_data. I have just committed a fix for this, you should be able to use both in harmony now :)

Sorry damiankloip I didn't know it was a bug report, I thought it was working as designed and that the documentation was wrong.

No worries :), I think you found a bug, described it, then I could find it too. So not all bad...
