Description
I've got a view which uses a couple of exposed filters. I want to call the view using $view = views_get_view - but how do I set the exposed filters using this method?
#1
This one is quite easy. After the views_get_view and before anything else:
<?php$view->set_exposed_input(array('identifer' => 'value', /* ... */));
?>

Thanks Earl, that works great.
Is there anything similar that works with views_embed_view()? In other words, how do I set an exposed filter for an embedded view?
#3
views_embed_view is just a wrapper, easy to use helper functions, but if you want to do more, you cannot use it.
See the code of views_embed_view, there you have the full $view object to do what you want to do with it.
I think if it works fine, this could be closed

Thanks dereine. I worked out a way to do what I wanted to do: I changed the view to accept arguments in place of the data entered into the exposed fields, and it worked great:
<?phpviews_embed_view('view_name', 'default', 'arg1+arg2+arg3')
?>
