View of simplenews nodes causes: Undefined index: entity type in views_handler_field_entity->init() [#1530166]

I created a view to list all the simplenews nodes for my site in a table. It displays Title, Post date, an edit link, Newsletter Category, Sent Status, Subscribers count, and a send newsletter link.

When I save the view or view the view it gives the following notice:
Notice: Undefined index: entity type in views_handler_field_entity->init() (line 38 of /home/MYROOTSITE/public_html/MYSUBSITE/sites/all/modules/views/handlers/views_handler_field_entity.inc).

Everything still seems to work, but it displays that error, so the priority may be minor instead of normal.

Below is the export from the view. Please let me know what other information you need.

Hi, I've updated to the last Simplenews 1.0 version and that message is already there. It happens to me on a views listing all published simplenews nodes on a table where I've added on a columns the "Send newsletter" field. After that when I see the page with that views it displays that "notice warning". If I delete that field and save, the page doesn't display the warning anymore. Any clue?

I've tried both a in site with Drupal 7.12 + Views 3.3 and another with Drupal 7.16 + Views 3.5 and on both site using that "Send newsletter" field handler causes that "Notice: Undefined index: entity type en views_handler_field_entity->init() (line 44 de /usr/home/sitename/web/sites/all/modules/views/handlers/views_handler_field_entity.inc)" message.

That message also jumps when clearing cache. Just to provide more information :-)

And running update.php (which clears cache).

Version:

Same here, any news ?

I can confirm this issue.
When you add the newsletter send link field the error comes up on line 44

Comment #8

stevenx CreditAttribution: stevenx commented 9 November 2013 at 21:01

I worked around this issue with the module views_php and simply added a field which does the same.

<?php 
if($row->status=="0"){
echo '<a href="/node/' .$data->nid. '/simplenews">Send Newsletter</a>';
}
?>

Hope this dirty trick helps...

Drupal way below :)

  if ($row->status == "0") {
    print l(t('Send newsletter'), 'node/' .$data->nid. '/simplenews');
  }

The workaround should work but it is still a workaround.
I don't really want to install views_php just to avoid hitting this bug.

Any idea on how this could be patched?
