Views Fields On/Off: Start with few fields and show more with this module

Thanks again for your time, testing seems great on two of my sites with no problems arising.

I would like to create a view with only a handful of fields showing, but this module gives people the option to add more.

My problem is that I have views which show 10, 20, or sometimes more fields and thats just too many. So I would like to show a view with just a few fields and then have the option to add the rest if the user wants.

At the moment all fields are shown by default and only selecting them in the on/off exposed section will then hide them. We have to keep the strpos login so that we can handle multiple instances of base fields.

    I'm reopening this issue as it's a feature that would improve the user experience, when using the field plugin.
    I'm also attaching a patch for 2.x codebase

    @patelh84 can you upload an interdiff from #12? Thank you

    #13 lacks the core of the functionality, so I expanded on #12 and did the following

    • Renamed fields_default_state to preselected_fields (Thought it would be more descriptive/clear)
    • Added the selection to the form field as a property (Like we do with the default_enabled property) so that we don't have to fetch the setting from the display handler when preprocessing
    • Fixed a warning that was caused by a wrong index for the 'checkboxes' option
    • Added a state to hide the preselected_fields property when the default_enabled is checked, since it would override any selection anyway.

    Future Improvement Suggestion: We could rename the default_enabled to exclude_for_selected (or smth like that). This would not change the way this option works, but would need extension for the preselected fields (Kinda like conditions work for displaying blocks etc)
