Call exposed filter view views.get method

Well, 2.x is feature frozen, so really this is a support request to see if its possible.

Why cant you use arguments?

I just made a view with view with the updated date as argument, passed in the time and it worked,

$view = new view;
$view->name = 'test';
$view->description = 'test';
$view->tag = '';
$view->view_php = '';
$view->base_table = 'node';
$view->is_cacheable = FALSE;
$view->api_version = 2;
$view->disabled = FALSE; /* Edit this to true to make a default view disabled initially */
$handler = $view->new_display('default', 'Defaults', 'default');
$handler->override_option('fields', array(
  'title' => array(
    'label' => 'Title',
    'alter' => array(
      'alter_text' => 0,
      'text' => '',
      'make_link' => 0,
      'path' => '',
      'link_class' => '',
      'alt' => '',
      'prefix' => '',
      'suffix' => '',
      'target' => '',
      'help' => '',
      'trim' => 0,
      'max_length' => '',
      'word_boundary' => 1,
      'ellipsis' => 1,
      'html' => 0,
      'strip_tags' => 0,
    ),
    'empty' => '',
    'hide_empty' => 0,
    'empty_zero' => 0,
    'link_to_node' => 0,
    'exclude' => 0,
    'id' => 'title',
    'table' => 'node',
    'field' => 'title',
    'relationship' => 'none',
  ),
));
$handler->override_option('arguments', array(
  'changed_fulldate' => array(
    'default_action' => 'ignore',
    'style_plugin' => 'default_summary',
    'style_options' => array(),
    'wildcard' => 'all',
    'wildcard_substitution' => 'All',
    'title' => '',
    'breadcrumb' => '',
    'default_argument_type' => 'fixed',
    'default_argument' => '',
    'validate_type' => 'none',
    'validate_fail' => 'not found',
    'id' => 'changed_fulldate',
    'table' => 'node',
    'field' => 'changed_fulldate',
    'validate_user_argument_type' => 'uid',
    'validate_user_roles' => array(
      '2' => 0,
    ),
    'relationship' => 'none',
    'default_options_div_prefix' => '',
    'default_argument_fixed' => '',
    'default_argument_user' => 0,
    'default_argument_php' => '',
    'validate_argument_node_type' => array(
      'page' => 0,
      'story' => 0,
    ),
    'validate_argument_node_access' => 0,
    'validate_argument_nid_type' => 'nid',
    'validate_argument_vocabulary' => array(),
    'validate_argument_type' => 'tid',
    'validate_argument_transform' => 0,
    'validate_user_restrict_roles' => 0,
    'validate_argument_php' => '',
  ),
));
$handler->override_option('access', array(
  'type' => 'none',
));
$handler->override_option('cache', array(
  'type' => 'none',
));

Patches are always against head

On thinking more about this I'm not happy to commit the patch to be honest as it changes the api. Number of comments though that might help to get this in, can we remove the browser related code, the display is available as a parameter it just needs to be explictly passed in.

Can we have more meaning variable names $arr, what is this? Of course I can tell what it is but a proper name would make it fair easier to read the code.

Why is this being called twice

$filter_object = $view->get_item($display_id, 'filter', $key);

The second call certainly is unneeded.

Thanks for doing those changes.

I need to speak to others on the services team to decide if we want to put it in, plus it would be ideal if others who use the views service can also test the issue and let us know if it has any impact on existing views. There is the a possibility it could get in if there is no impact in that area.

Looks like the same patch as in #7, I assuming you just attached the wrong one?

This isn't going to go into 2.x and 3.x now has its own views project

shushu,

Despite this not being committed to 2.x branch, I am still very much interested in the same thing, and I'm using the 2.x branch. Any chance you can still post the updated patch or list code or send me a copy?

Thanks!
