Create examples for Views plugins and handlers

I've created a views display plugin in the past... but not any other type... I'll see what I can dig up.

If you have time and like the module, please leave a review: http://drupalmodules.com/module/views-examples

Outstanding work and thought on this. I've thought we needed a views_examples and panels_examples module.

Views advanced help has a fair bit of help on this.

If you're open to putting handlers and such in here I'll keep that in mind and submit something eventually.

Hey Randy,

Good to hear from you.

My original intent was to have a collection of views that could be turned on and used/tweaked. I could add in some handlers/etc as well but am wondering if this is the best place for it. Or, would your examples module be a better location?

Cheers,
Kristen

I'm marking all my views examples issues to postponed as I just haven't had the bandwidth to look into them. If you want to be a co-maintainer to help out, please let me know.

i would like to create a more developer oriented D7 branch. Bojanz is so nice to review the code. Thank you for that! :) I hope to start next week in a sandbox

"Active" state until there's a patch.

Thanks so much for taking this on. I hope you'll do a 7.x-1.x first. @Kristen Pol could you create a new branch?

John was doing a port from 6 to 7 so I'll see what branches we have. I'm very happy to add on co-maintainers as I've obviously not had time to do anything here :/

Ok, I have...

1) Created a Drupal 7.x-1.x branch.

2) Removed all of the D6 files except:

CHANGELOG.txt
README.txt
views_examples.info
views_examples.install
views_examples.module
views_examples.pages.inc

3) Updated the files with stubbed functions/code to get started.

4) Added @muschpusch as a co-maintainer.

So... @muschpusch, I will leave the 7.x-1.x branch to you! Have at it... at this point, don't worry about checking in broken code since it's the dev branch and no one will be using it yet. That will change once an alpha is out.

Note: I know John was working on a direct port of 6.x-1.x to 7.x-1.x but I think that it would be better to do rethink that and perhaps instead include the D6 examples as features modules included in this package.

Ok sorry i was a too busy the last weeks. Some things have happened:

I found this:

http://drupal.org/project/views_plugin_examples which is an example for D6

I asked Matt if we could his code for a D7 example.

@muschpusch - I understand busy! Do whatever you can... repository is there for you whenever you get to it.
