How to disable views programmatically when the offering module is disabled
I came across this case recently. I maintain the tiny module - uiplog which logs the IP address, user id and login timestamp of Drupal site users on login event. The logged details are exposed in a page using views module hook_view_data(). When the uiplog module is disabled the views offered by the module remains active and when the views page is accessed it throws PHP notices and warnings. I was wondering to fix it. After a bit of research I came up with the following snippet to disble views on disabling the module using hook_disable(),
-
/**
-
* Implements hook_disable()
-
*/
-
function uiplog_disable() {
-
module_load_include('inc', 'uiplog', 'views/uiplog.views_default');
-
$default_views = array_keys(module_invoke('uiplog', 'views_default_views'));
-
$views_status = variable_get('views_defaults', array());
-
foreach ($default_views as $default_view) {
-
$views_status[$default_view] = TRUE; // TRUE means disable
-
}
-
variable_set('views_defaults', $views_status);
-
views_invalidate_cache();
-
}
The code works as follow, the function uiplog_disable() which is a hook; triggered when the uiplog module is attempted to disable. Using module_invoke() call all the default views defined in the uiplog is pulled as an array to $default_views. For each default view in uiplog the status is set to false and views cache is reset.
