Ok so I have created a drupal module that retrieves data stored in a database. The field in question contains html code for its value. I want to take that html code and have it utilized for what its value is in drupal. So if it has a list in the code I want it to display the list so on and so forth.
Here is my code for my module.
<?php
/**
* @file
*/
/**
* Implements hook_views_data()
*/
function jobs_views_data() {
$data['Jobs']['table']['group'] = t('Jobs');
$data['Jobs']['table']['base'] = array(
'field' => 'JobID',
'title' => t('Jobs'),
'help' => t('This table shows a list of all jobs.'),
'database' => 'MyDatabase'
);
$data['Jobs']['JobID'] = array(
'title' => t('Job ID'),
'help' => t('A unique job id'),
'field' => array(
'handler' => 'views_handler_field_numeric',
'click sortable' => TRUE,
),
'argument' => array(
'handler' => 'views_handler_argument_numeric',
),
'filter' => array(
'handler' => 'views_handler_filter_numeric',
),
'sort' => array(
'handler' => 'views_handler_sort',
),
);
$data['Jobs']['Active'] = array(
'title' => t('Active'),
'help' => t('A field representing whether or not a job is active.'),
'field' => array(
'handler' => 'views_handler_field_numeric',
'click sortable' => TRUE,
),
'argument' => array(
'handler' => 'views_handler_argument_numeric',
),
'filter' => array(
'handler' => 'views_handler_filter_numeric',
),
'sort' => array(
'handler' => 'views_handler_sort',
),
);
$data['Jobs']['DivisionID'] = array(
'title' => t('Division ID'),
'help' => t('A unique division id associated with a job.'),
'field' => array(
'handler' => 'views_handler_field_numeric',
'click sortable' => TRUE,
),
'argument' => array(
'handler' => 'views_handler_argument_numeric',
),
'filter' => array(
'handler' => 'views_handler_filter_numeric',
),
'sort' => array(
'handler' => 'views_handler_sort',
),
);
$data['Jobs']['JobTitle'] = array(
'title' => t('Job Title'),
'help' => t('Job title'),
'field' => array(
'click sortable' => TRUE,
),
'sort' => array(
'handler' => 'views_handler_sort',
),
);
$data['Jobs']['JobHTML'] = array(
'title' => t('Job HTML'),
'help' => t('Job HTML.'),
'field' => array(
'click sortable' => TRUE,
),
'sort' => array(
'handler' => 'views_handler_sort',
),
);
return $data;
}
So as you can see that last field there JobHTML needs a handler for the field. I have tried setting it to 'handler' => 'views_handler_field_markup'. Oddly enough it did seem to lay the html out correctly as it should, but then it left the HTML code inside of the content.
I have finally solved this problem after months here
