How to get a "result Array" with views_get_view() (as with views_get_current_view())

preview() would probably be better.

$view->preview() would probably be better than $view-render() rather.

i just edited that tutorial to add some argument handeling code as well as changing ->preview() to ->execute() ... which i hope is correct still.

Hi sorry I have to reopen the thread but I notice using the method mentioned here http://drupal.org/node/342132, I was able to get only the 1st 10 results. My settings for the view (flag actually) was set to 20 but its seems to ignore it? Thanks.

Use $view->pre_execute() to get the pager settings properly used.

Thanks for your reply.

Is there any document I can refer to with usage examples? I can't seem to find anywhere with search...still new to views 2 api..tks : )

edit: I just found out the method on the api page

For example, set items to 20 instead of default 10

$view->set_items_per_page(20);
$view->execute();
$result = $view->result;

Yes, calling pre_execute() prior to execute() works. The advnatage to using pre_execute() and then execute() is that you won't spend time rendering a view you won't display, so I would encourage using whichever method works best for you.

Based on http://drupal.org/node/342132, after looking through the Views2 code, I've found that this will only work for me if I use

$view->init_display();
$view->pre_execute();
$view->execute();
return $view->result;

Without $view->init_display(), the handlers for the displays seem not to have been initialized, but the Views2 code is calling the pre_execute() on those (non-existent) handlers.

Is using $view->init_display() a bad idea?

init_display() is safe to use. It is a good idea.

you could at least try out

<?php
$view = views_get_view($viewname);
$view->set_display('my_display');
$view->pre_execute();
$view->execute('my_display');
return $view->result;
?>

did you looked once at the views query, it's something incredible powerful but dynamic! so the tables have to have names like this.

so at the end i think this is by design

This is by design. Views automatically checks to see if any of the fields share a table, and if so, the table only gets added in once. That means the table has the first name assigned to it. The previous behavior joined in a new table in for every field, which gave you the names you are expecting to see, but made for a much less efficient query.

Hi
I need to recover the related nodes involved in a relationship, I dont know how to do it. Maybe I can make a db query to get the nodes references of other node, or working with views and accesing to the data of the view programally? I really need to solve it, I dont know how?? Please write back soon.

Hi, thanx for a way from my problem, now just how to print this..

print $view->result[node_data_field_numberfloat_field_text_value];

doesn't work..

thank You, would be big helper for me

I use something like the following in the php footer:

	$view = views_get_current_view();
	foreach ($view->result as $result) {
	$whatyouwant = $result->fieldyouwant; 
\\where field you want would be node_data_field_numberfloat_field_text_value
        print $whatyouwant;

He asked the some question in another issue, and there the answer was given.

$view = views_get_current_view();
foreach ($view->result as $result) {
$whatyouwant = $result->fieldyouwant; 
\\where field you want would be node_data_field_numberfloat_field_text_value
        print $whatyouwant;

Hi i'm developing themes and views result is sometimes very complicated and unnecessary...
i need only

<ul class="something">
      <li> views  Fields </li>
<ul>

but problem is ; Fields -> Node: Title is link to node and i'm trim this field to a maximum length (34)

how can i render that options ?

Hi all.

I have 2 CCK image fields in a View on 1 Default display with "Fields" output.
Now.

When I run either:

$result = views_get_view_result($name, NULL, $args)

or:

$view = views_get_view($name);
$view->pre_execute($args);
$view->execute();
$result => $view->result;

then $result array contains only ONE, first field from my fields and I have no any mention in the result about my second image field.

When I see Live Preview in Views UI or I run $view->preview(), HTML output contains BOTH the fields.

Debugging View execution showed that view query doesn't even contain second field in SELECT list. Its added somehow later.

So the question is - how can I get result array with ALL my fields?

NULL, cannot be your display.

This makes no difference. Problem didn't go. Please reread more carefully what I'm asking.

OK. Then you have a multiple cck imagefield. This values are stored in the handler.

If you execute your view you can find it in $view->fields['name']->items[$nid]

.

This is actually a very interesting question and I am also interested in the answer.

While the code snippets above work, they only provide a list of IDs. How to make them go the whole way and render each field's value in an array elements?

#35:

http://drupal.org/project/views_php_array might do what you want.

Dereine:

Thanks you that's what I looked for.

Just like OnkelTem from #29 above, I am seeing everything fine under views preview, but am not seeing any of my CCK fields (text, date, integer, etc) when I do the following:

I get the following:

Array
(
     [0] => stdClass Obj
          (
               [nid] => 111
               [node_title] => My Title
          )
)

Even if I call preview() instead of execute() I still do not get any of my CCK fields returned.

I'm stuck on this and open to any/all ideas. Thanks!

(using views 6.x-2.12)

In my individual view template ( I mean in my file: views-view--ViewName--page.tpl.php),

$view = views_get_current_view();
$vies->render(); //or $view->preview();
var_dump($v->result);

I got:

Fatal error: Maximum function nesting level of '100' reached

Only:

$view = views_get_current_view();
$vies->execute();
var_dump($v->result);

works correctly.
