I needed OG User Roles access integration with views for a client, and there was no getting around it.

I wrote a views plugin that extends the normal views_plugin_access class. It worked great, and I posted my code to an open OG User Roles issue: http://drupal.org/node/737292#comment-3284452

The OG User Roles author, sun, made a few changes to the code and posted it as a patch to OG User roles: http://drupal.org/node/737292#comment-3284798

The bad news is the patch doesn't work. The problems with it are mentioned here: http://drupal.org/node/737292#comment-3287882

I am creating this support ticket to get help specifically with extending the views_plugin_access_role. The plugin tries to extend views_plugin_access_role, and even defines the parent in hook_views_plugin(), but no luck.

When trying to choose the access role, views AJAX complains: "Class views_plugin_access_role not found."
It works when extending views_plugin_access as I had originally done, except that sun has modified the code to rely on the parent plugin, so we need it to work with views_plugin_access_role.

Anyone have any sort of input as to why I may be running into this issue? Look at the patch file to see the final code after sun's modifications. Thank you all for your help.

Hi,
Since you wrote a working solution and have an issue with subsequent changes, please publish your detailed analysis of the code (and your issues with it).

Folks will be happy to help you with a fix, however I think you need to help folks by highlighting the specific code segments you have issue with.

I am excited to see you are using Views. Views is one of my favorite modules. I like to use Views.

I look forward to your detailed analysis.

Finally, why aren't you simply using your version of the plugin if it works?
