Releases for Views

1. There are a couple of bugs in Drupal 6.2 that are fixed in Drupal 6.x-dev that make it very important that Drupal 6.3 is used (or, since that is not currently available, Drupal 6.x-dev).
2. If you find yourself having troubles with the javascript (there are a few people who report problems that we can't figure out yet) the javascript part can be completely turned off and the UI largely works without javascript, though a couple of places (arguments, in particular) may be a little rough.
3. The upgrade path from 1 to 2 is going to take some manual work to convert your Views to the new format. Views2 contains a Views1 conversion tool, but existing views will likely need some additional work to function in Views2
4. Urgent request! We need some help with the documentation, both editing the existing pages, finishing some of the TODO items, and fleshing it out more so that it is more cohesive!

Changes since DRUPAL-6--2-0-BETA4:

• Fix some minor code formatting issues.
• * Updated translation file
  * Updated German translation
• #270588: Have summaries respect the DISTINCT flag when doing their counting
• Capture queries run during view render, with an optional checkbox to turn this off.
• Allow query to wrap in live preview
• #249934: If a view had attachments, views_get_current_view() could return wrong results.
• Fix a problem with relationships that caused the adjust_join to sometimes not be run, thanks to a minor error in the join collapsing code.
• query::add_relationship was adjusting the join for the relationship prematurely; add_table will do that on its own.
• string argument handler was not running summary_name through transform
• Exposed filters needed to use $form_state[input] not $form[#post], which was causing the "remember" setting to fail intermittently; also, if filters are not overridden use the default display ID for session storage so that remembered filters can be shared across displays.
• Exposed filter memory was being trashed by a rewriting validate; also, exposed filters that decided not to participate weren't properly storing that status in session. This fixes both things.
• #270892 by aclight (expanded by me): put default action and validator options in a fieldset to make the form less confusing.
• #273075 by eojthebrave: Fix broken queries to delete Views 1 views from the database.
• Remove accidentally commited debug message
• #270920 by mooffie: Add checkbox to feed displays to allow use of the site name for the feed title, in order to better duplicate the basic Drupal rss.xml capability.
• #271019 by mooffie: Add a button to clear the theme registry on the theme: information page
• #270861: Don't automatically add order by clauses to the group by if the order by is a formula.

• #270313: Add validation to the view name on import (only if user entered)
• Remove incorrect phpdoc
• #267457: Fixed. For real.
• Restore some code that made sure that style options followed style changes.
• Fix typo in argument DISTINCT fix
• #270588: Remove extra ! from comparison
• #274355 by mooffie: Fix a caching problem with rescan template files button
• #274341 by mooffie: Check for the presence of template files so that we can tell if a template got renamed but theme registry was not cleared.
• #273570 by aclight: Properly allow attached displays to inherit exposed filters via UI option.
• #274482 by aclight: Remove unnamed Apply button from filter values so that it does not later appear in URLs.
• Change the update button to "update default display" when you are changing values on the default display.
• #274926 by aclight: Typo fixes in comments and t() strings.
• #274807: setting the validate fail action to summary was not informing the UI that a style plugin is needed.
• Fix argument validator so that access() is handled properly like it is on the default argument type.
• #273570: Work around a FAPI limitation that only lets me validate a given form once even though I need to validate it an arbitrary number of times.
• #270735 by hass: Remove extra t() from menu item in views_export module
• #271240 by mschiff: pgsql compatibility, left() doesn't exist but substr() exists in both pgsql and mysql.
• #273500 by emok: Ensure a ; after endforeach in theme templates.
• Create a "soft" fail condition for arguments, which means that if an argument is part of a % placeholder in a URL, failing validation is not actually a failure IF there is some other action to take when validation fails.
• #274360: Add hard path checking to Node from URL and User from URL to get instances where core menu loader functions are not in use.
• API documentation update.
• #270416 by quicksketch: Update convert.inc for new display IDs.
• Unnecessary label on exposed search form; missing "Group" designation on upload: attached files; some minimal but useful documentation on writing handlers
• Allow "additional themes" for plugins to be listed in the theme information as alternatives.
• Do not add the search table if not actually searching.
• #276714: Remove extraneous "break" that causes error when adding broken fields.
• Allow items to specify base tables to skip and create a relationship from upload --> node that will not allow circular relationships.
• #276939 by mooffie: Typo prevented comments: cid relationship from functioning.
• theme-css.html plus a couple of minor fixes I found
• #277508 by webchick
• #277382 by mooffie: Remove unintuitive "ID" from relationship naming.
• #277807 by alevine: Restore missing "moderate" flag to node.views.inc
• #275372: Cancel button should redirect back to admin/build/views when canceling a new view.
• Move the save/cancel buttons from the edit view back to the left where they used to be to prevent visual confusion with those buttons and the ajax form buttons.
• #275153: taxonomy term depth filter should find nodes based on vid, not nid.
• Very very slightly cleaner export.

This is the last beta release. Depending on the number of new bug reports generated, the first RC should be just around the corner.

• Some code re-org to reduce the weight of views.module
• #254657 by Crell: Support for simple, single level grouping.

• #258491 by KarenS: A base argument handler for dates.
• #258491: Allow plugins to hide the floating edit links.
• #263084: Automaticaly remove leading and trailing "/" from path since it is invalid.

• #264204: Clarify offset form item.
• #264282: Check for errors before doing foreach on an item that might not be an array when breaking 1,2,3
• Remove the "installing views" install message which is confusing.
• #263556 by mfb: Fix broken complex searches
• #265442 by aclight: return FALSE instead of NULL to the menu system when an argument does not validate.
• #265536: Fix a fatal error when relationships are removed.
• #234798: Ensure list of default views is an array from cache.
• #265910: Restore "access all views" permission from Views 1.
• Utility to make it easier to get handlers off of a display
• Add an extra link to style settings since they can be a little difficult to find.
• Add setting to let query be above or below live preview, defaulting to below; more users are likely to be interested in the actual view than the query.

• Add a hook for query information, plus add timing info to the block.
• Keep original args as $view->original_args in an attachment
• Improved handling of broken fields.

• Views exporter tool to easily export multiple views at once.
• Blocks should recuse themselves if they have no results, no empty text, and "even empty" is not set for the style plugin.
• Revamped export functionality. This is a less verbose export that takes advantage of the newer options/defaults system so that it does not have to export quite as much data. Also a tool to export multiple views simultaneously.
• I used definition instead of options. Oops.

• Add a checkbox to completely disable javascript so that there is a fallback for people who are having js troubles.
• Add a help page describing how to use the templates.
• Major documentation update.
• Clarify that the PHP Code argument default plugin just wants a single value.

This beta release includes a few forgotten features or features I didn't have time for, or features submitted by users that were too good to pass up. Plus, a lot more of the help files are written, if badly.

Specifically: comment RSS, major updates to exposed filters, a bunch of new default views, important fixes for node language filter, taxonomy term with depth argument, argument defaults to try and get 'node' and 'user' ids automatically from the URL, and a whole bunch more I have forgotten.

This is a bug fix release, primarily for PHP4 users. Please see the beta 1 release notes for full details.

Changes since DRUPAL-6--2-0-BETA1:

• Fix 'invalid display id' error under PHP4 when adding fields, filters, et al
• Guard against instantiating non existing classes.
• Also check to see if the handler is empty.
• Missing body caused table level override on field level text items; i.e, "Node revision" overriding "Body"
• Don't check for advanced help until after form submission so we don't double the message
• Don't check for advanced help until after form submission so we don't double the message (take 2)
• Cache views data by language
• Comment update
• Fix live preview exposed filter from ajax submit with clean urls off
• A couple of minor fixes
• Updated translation files
• A couple more help files, mostly stubs

New features:

• argument defaults and validation; pluggable. This will greatly ease some of the problems with argument discovery. We need to get a few more basic plugins written for this, but basically with a little bit of code you can do all kinds of cool stuff with arguments not there or not matching what you want.
• Quick links on the edit page; hover links on the view view page.
• A weak but expandable view analyzer tool
• Revamped view list page, plus the first advanced help file!
• #248999: (by eaton) Grid style that uses a simple table to display a grid in X columns.
• A theme information tool to give you all the information you need to theme your views.
• Integration with advanced help module. http://drupal.org/project/advanced_help

The Views 1 conversion process is still a little (a lot) rough -- expect to have to do a lot of work to update Views 1 views to Views 2. Still, it does enough that the update isn't awful, and it's a good idea to really rethink the views anyway, since Views 2 operates so much differently.

Important!!!! -- Views theming with Drupal 6.2 will require this patch or it will fail in exciting ways when you try to create view specific templates. PLEASE don't file bugs about this; it'll get into Drupal 6.3 I am fairly sure.

Changes since DRUPAL-6--2-0-ALPHA5:

• #249738: add "select count(*) from(...) as count_alias" after db_rewrite_sql because db_rewrite_sql seems to mess up with the subquery

• Fix pager which was claiming to be full but showing mini for a setting that was sort of in between.

New features

• The attachment display type. You can put a view onto another view.
• RSS -- this is now implemented as a display type. Add a Feed display to a view with a page display. Give it the appropriate path -- you need to specify all of the arguments in the URL, generally. SOmething like foo/%/%/feed for example. Be sure to look at the style plugin and row plugin options. This is currently only relevant for the node type.
• All handlers have been implemented that I can think of. This means I've certainly missed a couple, but missing handlers from core functionality that were previously in Views 1 are either 1) no longer relevant or 2) missing and therefore bugs.

Important note
I added options to a few of items that might cause red NOTICE messages to show up regarding unknown variables, especially thinks like 'link'. If you see these on existing views, this is ok; you have to find the handler or plugin that has the new option, and click 'update' and it will set the option and the notice will go away.

If you see these on views you add *after* you install this, then that's probably a bug.

This is a rough list of features NOT YET IMPLEMENTED and thus TODO:

• PHP Arg code
• Filter groups
• Validation, lots of validation

Here's the full changelog

Changes since DRUPAL-6--2-0-ALPHA4:

New features

• Relationships
• Javascript to make fields de-activate when they are not relevant
• Edit locking -- only one user can edit a view at a time. The lock can be easily broken.
• All fields from node.module should be in.
• All fields from user.module should be in.
• AJAX paging/tablesorts/exposed filters as an option on the view.

Important note
I added options to a bunch of items that might cause red NOTICE messages to show up regarding unknown variables, especially thinks like 'link'. If you see these on existing views, this is ok; you have to find the handler or plugin that has the new option, and click 'update' and it will set the option and the notice will go away.

The one I can remember offhand is the 'Node' style plugin got a new option that does this.

If you see these on views you add *after* you install this, then that's probably a bug.

This is a rough list of features NOT YET IMPLEMENTED and thus TODO:

• PHP Arg code
• Filter groups
• RSS
• Validation, lots of validation
• Handlers: profile, book, taxonomy, search, upload. Plus, not all handlers from comment have been implemented yet, but lots are.

Here's the full changelog

Changes since DRUPAL-6--2-0-ALPHA3:

• Basic validation framework; check to make sure that items that need fields have fields.
• #234814: (by ezra-g) Disable the save button while the update button is visible
• Implementation of edit locking on views.
• Dependenct javascript so some form elements can appear and disappear when needed/not needed.
• #234969: accept_exposed_input() should return TRUE by default to prevent Views from removing their handlers from the query.
• #235435 (by KarenS): prevent unnecessary warnings during install/update
• #235459: include leading . on all includes; also turn all include_once into require_once for efficiency.
• #235083: Argument titles not set properly when argument default action is taken
• #235778: Drop cache_views on install if it was already there from Views 1.
• #105125: (by moshe) Per field access control; fields will now remove themselves from views if the viewing user does not have access to see the field.
• Removing windows line endings
• #236786: (by KarenS) Make sure all views.*.inc files can be loaded from the module's path or module_path/include directory.

• Refactor views_handler_filter_numeric to use dependency and be easier to create a child class of
• Introduced views_handler_filter_date based on views_handler_filter_numeric as an all-purpose unix timestamp based date filter. Plus re-introduced hook_views_query_substitutions

New Features

• Menu settings
• Exposed filters
• Table style
• Primitive upgrade path from Views 1. This is not well tested, but may be found under the Tools menu. (Thanks KarenS!!)
• Clone a view
• Live preview
• Some handlers from comment, poll and statistics are in.
• API: Views can handle external data sources if they're described properly (thanks hunmonk!)
• Enable/disable default views

Major bug fixes

• PHP4 basically works but is not thoroughly tested.
• Lots and lots of little bugs fixed

This is a rough list of features NOT YET IMPLEMENTED and thus TODO:

• PHP Arg code
• Relationships
• Filter groups
• Edit locking [because of the way the view is stored, it is possible and wise to lock a view from editing while another user is editing it. This lock will be overrideable in the event that someone is a dork].
• RSS
• Validation, lots of validation
• Handlers: profile, book, taxonomy, search, upload. Plus, not all handlers from node/user/comment/statistics have been implemented yet, but lots are.
• Javascript to make fields de-activate when they are not relevant

Work is under way for taxonomy, profile and search. The biggest real problems now are that there still are not enough handlers. Over the next 2 weeks, that is likely to be the focus of work.

This alpha release fixes a couple of major bugs that unfortunately means any view created with alpha1 won't work. But since this is alpha and that release is only a day old, that isn't a big deal, right? =)

This version adds export/import, cleans up some filters and fixes a few notice bugs.

• UPgrade path from Views 1

This is essentially a preview version of Views 2 for Drupal 6.

• The UI is largely functional, with or without javascript.
• Very simple fields, sort criteria, arguments and filters for the node object exist, and a couple for the user object.
• Node views and variations on the old list view work.
• Look in the 'theme' directory for .tpl files.
• You can make views on 'nodes', 'users' and 'node revisions', though I dunno that you can do much with the last one yet.

These things are not yet implemented

• The 'tools' tab.
• PHP Argument code
• Menu settings for the 'page' view
• Exposed filters
• Relationships (even though a section is there on the UI)
• Export view
• Clone view
• Links to edit the view while displaying it.
• Anything to do with comments, taxonomy, profiles, search, or a whole lot of stuff we've come to expect.
• Some other stuff I didn't remember to put in this list.

From what I'm told CCK is already set up to work with Views, but it is a couple of days out of date and naturally I made a last minute API change that probably broke it all. Sorry, KarenS and yched. =/
