Cannot add area plugins

The thing is, headers are not always converted.

The code before:

    foreach (array('header', 'footer', 'empty') as $area) {
      $converted = FALSE;
      if (isset($this->options[$area]) && !is_array($this->options[$area])) {
        if (!empty($this->options[$area])) {
          $content = $this->get_option($area);
          if (!empty($content) && !is_array($content)) {
            $format = $this->get_option($area . '_format');
            $options = array(
              'id' => 'area',
              'table' => 'views',
              'field' => 'area',
              'label' => '',
              'relationship' => 'none',
              'group_type' => 'group',
              'content' => $content,
              'format' => !empty($format) ? $format : variable_get('filter_default_format', 1),
            );

            if ($area != 'empty' && $empty = $this->get_option($area . '_empty')) {
              $options['empty'] = $empty;
            }
            $this->set_option($area, array('text' => $options));
            $converted = TRUE;
          }
        }
      }
      // Ensure that options are at least an empty array
      if (!$converted) {
        $this->set_option($area, array());
      }

sure converted is false, when no conversion happend, but this is on a new views3 view always the case, there is no need for a conversion.

So i moved it up one level. Perhaps it could be also moved up another level under if (!empty($this->options[$area])) {

Ok, it is working fine. I have tested it in a fresh drupal install and in a upgrade from views 2 to views 3.

Is the same result in a fresh install, but as is this patch works.

Thanks, that did the trick for me as well. Wasn't able to add the global text area for Empty text in views3.

Which I needed because it seems an exposed filter that results in no matches was removing the entire view including the exposed form element, meaning no more ability to search. Empty text fixes that but I don't want to make a new issue out of it until I'm sure.

@endiku please fill a new issue with your problem. Explain better what is happening and export your view. Thanks.

Ok, this issue was commited http://drupal.org/cvs?commit=352156 I'm marking it as fixed.

I can confirm that views-765310.patch fixes my problem of not being able to add a header, footer, or empty text.

tststs, this commit message was wrong :) Hehe if it does not work, dagmar can be clamed :)

ditto: I can confirm that views-765310.patch fixes my problem of not being able to add a header, footer, or empty text.

Patch fixes problem, however, was this not commited to alpha3?

It was commited to the dev version.
