I'm new to Views 2 API.
Basically, I'm stuck at the point after following instructions in "Using default views in your module" in the Adv. Help section.
I have an exported default view (just contains fields) in mymod.views_default.inc.
I have mymod.module that:
- implements mymod_menu (one MENU_NORMAL_ITEM), currently routed to an empty page callback function (needs filling, why I'm writing this).
- implements mymod_views_api.
When I select the menu item, I understandably get a blank 'Web page' corresponding to my empty page callback function.
What I want is to select that menu item, have the callback function set a filter and sort on the default view, and display the resulting modified view.
While I'm working through the "How Views handlers work" in Adv. Help, and have the "Views 2 API Manual" open (thankfully, I'm not intimidated by PHP OOP), anyone who can put me in the express lane to resolving the aforementioned use case gets serious kudos from one stressed-out individual.
