Adding a view argument to the callback signature

Created on 6 September 2018, almost 7 years ago

Updated 30 July 2025, 13 days ago

Depending on the use case we may use the extra_field in many views and it may brings us to need a different callback returns, depending on the view and the display.
So I think changing the callback signature to add the view object as a second argument will make us more flexible.

Below is an example of callback implementation

/**
 *
 */
function mymodule_extra_field_views_entity_callback( $entity, $view ) {
   switch( $view->name ) {
     case 'viewA':
       // handle view A 
       return handleviewA($entity);
     break;
    case 'viewB':
      // handle view B
      return handleviewB($entity);
     break;
   }
}

D7 reached its EOL back in January 2025, and there is no active release for D7 for this module anymore.
Development or support is not planned for D7.

All D7-related issues are marked as outdated in a bunch.
Still, everyone can apply the patch above (not tested/reviewed by the maintainers) to their В7 projects.

If the issue's topic is actual in D10+ versions, please create a follow-up issue or comment on this one (to re-open and switch to the 2.2.x development branch).
Thanks!
