Custom Flags (formerly Views Bookmark) integration

Another cheer from the crowd.

I changed the name of the tittle. This module has been coming along very nicely, if I could just theme the output of the favorites page I would be very happy in using this module instead of Views Bookmarks. Ideally integration with the views module so that I could just override the standard view for this module. Would also make it easy to put the menu link in a tab. Any ways, I just wanted to see how the this was coming, maybe start a dialog on the best way to implement this. Especially with the email module, this has become a very powerful easy to use module, I would love to see it get views support.

joncup,

Views integration is a possibility, but a different thing all together. By integration with views bookmarks and favorite nodes, I was envisioning a system where a visitor has a collection of Session Favorites, then they log in. Upon login, the Session Favorites module would (depending on how it was configured) transfer all the favorites stored via a session into the more permanent nid/uid association. The danger in relying solely on this module is that once a cookie is expired by php, or deleted by the browser, that visitor looses the entire list. Another problem is if the visitor browses from a different computer, they don't have their list.

Views integration is a strong possibility, but belongs in a separate issue.

Now, for an update on integration, given the recent release of the Session API module, I will probably build a hook system that gets invoked at the moment the user logs in (as described above). This way modules such as views bookmark or favorite node (or any other module that associates uids with nids) could hook into this module and others. Stay tuned.

Cheers,

Jonathan
