Add additional output format for "Sticky"

needs review :)

Perhaps there should be a easier mechanism to extends fields for things like this.

I would rather modify the boolean handler so that fields can add custom variations without writing new handlers.

I'm wondering myself how this can be achived

I guess it could be done in the hook_views_data definition

    'field' => array(
      'handler' => 'views_handler_field_boolean',
      'click sortable' => TRUE,
      //HERE
    ),
    'filter' => array(
      'handler' => 'views_handler_filter_boolean_operator',
      'label' => t('Published'),
      'type' => 'yes-no',
    ),

Perhaps with a additional parameter here, i see i have to read more in views.

Yeah. It'd be something like 'output formats' => array('sticky' => array('', t('Sticky'))

Or something.

yeah, thats much more flexible

This patch looks good. 'output formats' needs to be documented in the header of the class, since that's the only place to find documentation for what's available in the definitions.

Update

For documenting definition keys, I usually use doxygen's list formatting capabilities, so each item should have a - in front of it. Since you've got an array embedded, it probably also needs @code and @endcode tags.

Here is a patch which uses the codestyle of definitions. I'm not sure about the array

Doesn't seem to apply to 7.x, but applied to both 6.x branches.

Actual patch applied attached.

Thanks for making the patch ready... now i will be able to use this syntax somewhere else .

I commited the patch to d7.

This is now really commited.

I like this option for Node:sticky. How would one apply it to Node:published as well?
