Expose Event Fields to Views

It seems to be by design that the Event module data fields are not exposed to Views. I, like countless other users, would like access to the Event End, Event Start, Has End Date, Has Time, and Timezone Name fields so here's the code for those who can't wait for this to be included into the module.

Add the following code to the VERY end of your event.module file:

     function event_views_api() {
          return array(
            'api' => 2,
            'path' => drupal_get_path('module', 'event') .'/includes',
          );
     }

Create a file called event.views.inc and add the following code to it:

function event_views_data() {
	$data = array();

	$data['event']['table']['group']  = t('Events');
	$data['event']['table']['join'] = array(
		'node' => array (
			'left_field' => 'nid',
			'field' => 'nid',
		),
	); 	

	$data['event']['event_start'] = array(
		'title' => t('Event Start'),
		'help' => t('This is the event start date.'),
		'field' => array(
			'handler' => 'views_handler_field',
			'click sortable' => TRUE,
		),
		'sort' => array(
			'handler' => 'views_handler_sort',
		),
		'filter' => array(
			'handler' => 'views_handler_filter_string',
		),
		'argument' => array(
			'handler' => 'views_handler_argument_string',
		),
	);
	
	$data['event']['event_end'] = array(
		'title' => t('Event End'),
		'help' => t('This is the event end date.'),
		'field' => array(
			'handler' => 'views_handler_field',
			'click sortable' => TRUE,
		),
		'sort' => array(
			'handler' => 'views_handler_sort',
		),
		'filter' => array(
			'handler' => 'views_handler_filter_string',
		),
		'argument' => array(
			'handler' => 'views_handler_argument_string',
		),
	);

	$data['event']['has_time'] = array(
		'title' => t('Has Time'),
		'help' => t('Boolean field.'),
		'field' => array(
			'handler' => 'views_handler_field_boolean',
			'click sortable' => TRUE,
		),
		'sort' => array(
			'handler' => 'views_handler_sort',
		),
		'filter' => array(
			'handler' => 'views_handler_filter_boolean_operator',
		),
		'argument' => array(
			'handler' => 'views_handler_argument_numeric',
		),
	);
	
	$data['event']['has_end_date'] = array(
		'title' => t('Has End Date'),
		'help' => t('Boolean field.'),
		'field' => array(
			'handler' => 'views_handler_field_boolean',
			'click sortable' => TRUE,
		),
		'sort' => array(
			'handler' => 'views_handler_sort',
		),
		'filter' => array(
			'handler' => 'views_handler_filter_boolean_operator',
		),
		'argument' => array(
			'handler' => 'views_handler_argument_numeric',
		),
	);
	



	$data['event_timezones']['table']['group']  = t('Events');
	$data['event_timezones']['table']['join']['node'] = array(
		'left_table' => 'event',
		'left_field' => 'timezone',
		'field' => 'timezone',
	);

	$data['event_timezones']['name'] = array(
		'title' => t('Timezone Name'),
		'help' => t('This is the timezone name for the event.'),
		'field' => array(
			'handler' => 'views_handler_field',
			'click sortable' => TRUE,
		),
		'sort' => array(
			'handler' => 'views_handler_sort',
		),
		'filter' => array(
			'handler' => 'views_handler_filter_string',
		),
		'argument' => array(
			'handler' => 'views_handler_argument_string',
		),
	);



return $data;
