Programming addition to Views help

Why not even bring this into the views module? I guess its often used

Ok, committed to Views and moved to Documentation queue to handle archiving or editing the old documentation. It may still be valuable as an example of how to manipulate a view even with that function available in Views.

I've modified the patch to improve DX :
- Changed the function signature to include args = array() .
- Removed some unneeded code fetching arguments.
- Fixed the documentation to comply with Drupal standards.

Note that changing $args to an array makes the signature differ from views_embed_view() -- I'm not sure that's a good thing.

Yes thats exactly what i thought.

views_embed_view('view', 'default', 1, 'type');
views_embed_view('view', 'default', array(1, 'type'));

Decide which is more friendly for the developer :) i think the first one.

@dereine,

I think the 2nd option (with the array) is better DX. Just by looking at the function's signature one can know $args can be passed. Currently, they should look into the code and see the func_get_args(), and understand from that they can pass args.

Regardless, consistency with an existing very similar function matters, even if one format may be marginally better. The consistency is more important, and Views is already inconsistent enough, thankyouverymuch =)

Ok, I agree that consistency wins in this case, so "won't fix".
