I have a Drupal 7 site and I would like to change the view format with a button click, so I want to ask if it is a way to change the configuration of a View page with php.

In a view page configuration, the option is this:

enter image description here

Now it has "List without format" value.

  • The idea is this: I have a results and two buttons: one button to show the results in a grid and the other to show in a list. Something like this: vandelaydesign.com/list-grid-view-switch but fro Drupal7

It is possible to call a View using PHP code. It is also possible modify a view using code such as hook_views_pre_view() to change how a View is displayed dynamically.

I actually wouldn't do either for your request. Simply do the following:

  • In your View make 2 displays.
    • 1 view display that shows the Grid format.
    • 1 view display that shows the list format.

On the page in question use an HTML button, html link, or even a Rules Link that uses Ajax to reload the div on the page and calls the view with the correct display mode you want. Your ajax call will be calling like: $view = views_embed_view('MY_VIEW_NAME', 'display_id'); and updating the page with $view contents via Ajax.

So make 2 view displays, and learn how to call them using Ajax.
