Overview
This module provides a consistent way for replacing views (that come with modules, for example) with other views.
It does so by making sure every time views_get_view('original') is issued, views_get_view('replacement') is returned.
This is especially handy for modules that come with built-in views, i.e. Commerce Backoffice, and possibly load them in programatically.
Installation and requirements
- Download the Views module, enable it and configure to your needs.
- Download the Views Override module, enable it and visit Configuration -> System -> Views Override (/admin/config/system/views-override)
- Specify which views you want to override, and save the configuration.
- You are ready to roll!
Under the hood
Technically, this module is really simple. When overriding a certain built-in view (from another module, such as Commerce backoffice's order listing page at /admin/commerce/orders), this module basically does two things for you:
- Firstly, it disables the original view (the one that you marked as overridden on the admin settings form) in code,
- Secondly, it alters the load callback (views_get_view) to load your replacement view instead of the original every time the view is requested.
