I'm trying to edit the variables that go from Views into the form array editted by hook_form_alter()
and the tpl file views-exposed-form.tpl.php
. Specifically, I'm trying to use the contents of $view->exposed_input
for form theming, without resorting to using $view = views_get_current_view();
I've tried working my way up the order of execution defined here:
- hook_views_pre_view
- hook_views_pre_build
- hook_views_post_build
- hook_views_pre_execute
- hook_views_post_execute
- hook_views_pre_render
- hook_views_post_render
...but I'm stuck. At hook_views_pre_render()
, $view->exposed_widgets
gives me already-rendered HTML, so it's clearly too late, but the earlier ones don't give me anything at all.
Based on How to choose between all the views hooks?, I've tried using a preprocess hook based on the tpl file name, like hook_preprocess_views_exposed_form()
, but the view isn't in scope here, I'm looking for the last views hook before this where I can find data from the view to these variables.
What I want to do, is take the contents of $view->exposed_input
, and pass it through to the exposed form tpl
file so that I can add a facet-like summary of current filters to my view. Which is the Views hook where I can do this?
I'm using Better Exposed Filters module, so if there are any hooks or tricks specific to that,they'd be welcome.
