I recently needed to add an extra link to the end of my $items list in a list view and found that this could be done quickly in template.php.
I set out to do two things:
- add a link to the end of my list view that does not contain node data
- as part of this last list item, include a custom link that changes depending on the name of the view
Accomplishing this was a lot easier than I expected. All I had to do was add a switch statement for the view name, and also add a line with the content I wanted to add to my $items array before the theming function.
Here is my code:
<?php
function phptemplate_views_view_list_myview($view, $nodes, $type) {
$fields = _views_get_fields();
$taken = array();
// Set up the fields in nicely named chunks.
foreach ($view->field as $id => $field) {
$field_name = $field['field'];
if (isset($taken[$field_name])) {
$field_name = $field['queryname'];
}
$taken[$field_name] = true;
$field_names[$id] = $field_name;
}
// Set up some variables that won't change.
$base_vars = array(
'view' => $view,
'view_type' => $type,
);
foreach ($nodes as $i => $node) {
$vars = $base_vars;
$vars['node'] = $node;
$vars['fullNode'] = node_load($node->nid);
$vars['link'] = l($vars['fullNode']->body, 'node/' . $node->nid);
$vars['count'] = $i;
$vars['stripe'] = $i % 2 ? 'even' : 'odd';
//adding extra variable for view name contextual links, in a template, this will be $linked_page.
switch ($vars['view']->name) {
case 'view_one':
$vars['linked_page'] = '/news/special_one';
break;
case 'view_two':
$vars['linked_page'] = '/news/special_two';
break;
case 'view_three':
$vars['linked_page'] = '/news/special_three';
break;
case 'view_four':
$vars['linked_page'] = '/news/special_four';
break;
}
foreach ($view->field as $id => $field) {
$name = $field_names[$id];
$vars[$name] = views_theme_field('views_handle_field', $field['queryname'], $fields, $field, $node, $view);
if (isset($field['label'])) {
$vars[$name . '_label'] = $field['label'];
}
}
$items[] = _phptemplate_callback('views-happy_news', $vars);
}
//the key, I'm adding a link to the $items[] array.
$items[] = "<a href=\"{$vars['linked_page']}\" class=\"more-articles\">See more news</a> »";
if ($items) {
return theme('item_list', $items);
}
}
?>
