Programmatically render a Drupal view with exposed filters, arguments, etc.
Embedding a view programmatically is not too difficult, but what about passing it a value for an exposed filter? This snippet gives a simple example of how to modify the View object in a more meaningful way before rendering it.
$name = 'my_view'; $display = 'block_1'; $view = views_get_view($name); $view->set_display($display);
If you'd like to pass in exposed filter values, define these properties before calling $view->preview():
// The $exposed_filters keys must correctly correspond with the actual keys of your view's exposed filters. $exposed_filters = array( 'keys' => 'sail', 'term_node_tid_depth' => 'All', ); // Pass in exposed filter values. array_merge() order prioritizes user input. $view->exposed_input = array_merge($exposed_filters, (array)$view->exposed_input); $view->exposed_raw_input = array_merge($exposed_filters, (array)$view->exposed_raw_input); $view->exposed_data = array_merge($exposed_filters, (array)$view->exposed_data);
Print the view!
$output = $view->preview(); if ($view->result) { print $output; } $view->destroy();

is a solution also for drupal
is a solution also for drupal 6.x?
which is a solution for to do this :
I have three views page (that are 3 horiz menus in the header)
V1 V2 V3;
on V3 I created one exposed filter F3 (a select); the block is in the header so have
F3
V1 V2 V3
so the filter is only for V3;
how can instead have a common filter
F123
V1 V2 V3
so when click on V1 is applied own view with the filter value already selected in F123;
or if I am on V1 or V2 .. if I change the selection in F123 the view V1 or V2 ... are reloaded and filtered by the new value
