In a D7 install profile, I am trying to modify the location of a exposed filter block with db_update(), where the view is defined by a module's hook_views_default_views().
At this point it doesn't seem views has collected the views from hook_views_default_views() or the view block does not exist (or db_update cannot address it) in the {block} table until I actually bootstrap Drupal after installation is complete. I have attempted:
- Invalidating the views cache via
views_invalidate_cache() - Loading the view with
views_get_view(NAME) - Triggering
drupal_cron_run()
Before issuing the db_update() with no success. I am not versed enough in views to understand at what point views writes the exposed filter blocks to the block table, or how to force it to do so.
I am employing 'cache' => DRUPAL_NO_CACHE, during my db_update() call.
Update : doing a views_get_view() cannot actually load the view. It appears that install profiles do not have access to views provided by hook_default_views.
Thanks.
