Hi there..
for a module i want to create based on CCK and views, i need to select all nodes which have a certain fieldgroup defined for the view. I tried to add a stub at the end of content_views_data in content.views.inc

  $data['content_type']['table']['group'] = t('Content');
  $data['content_type']['has_field'] = array(
    'title' => t('Type has field'),
    'help' => t('Fields the content type has.'),
    'filter' => array(
      'handler' => 'views_handler_filter_content_type_has_field',
    ),
  );

but it is not even shown in the filter section, i think because there's no valid table information defined. Problem is, the information which fields are defined for which content type are not simply stored in a table.. i do not quite grok this views framework so after several hours digging through the source getting my mind all fuzzy i decided to ask for support here.. could you give me some helpful hints or so? regards!

The best solution might be for the fieldgroup module to expose its own filter for the group name, which would be a feature request. An argument would also make sense, maybe a sort, maybe even a field for the fieldgroup name. But someone would need to sit down and figure out the right way to do this since it is not an ordinary field.
