function views_arg_load

Helper function for menu loading. This will automatically be called in order to 'load' a views argument; primarily it will be used to perform validation.

Parameters

string $value: The actual value passed.

string $name: The name of the view. This needs to be specified in the 'load function' of the menu entry.

string|array $display_id: The display id or an array of display ids that will be loaded for this menu item.

int $index: The menu argument index. This counts from 1.

Return value

string|int|FALSE: The argument value, whether a string or ID. FALSE if the given value is invalid.

Primarily Backdrop hooks and global API functions to manipulate views.

Code

  $display_id = reset($display_ids);

  foreach ($display_ids as $id) {
    // Make sure we haven't already loaded this views argument for a similar
    // menu item elsewhere. Since access is always checked for the current user,
    // we are sure that the static cache contains valid entries.
    $key = $name . ':' . $id . ':' . $value . ':' . $index;
    if (isset($views[$key])) {
      return $views[$key];
    }
    // Lazy load the view object to avoid unnecessary work.
    if (!isset($view)) {

    }
    // Pick the first display we have access to.
    if ($view && count($display_ids) > 1 && $view->access($id)) {
      $display_id = $id;
      break;
