Provide Country Flag views field handler.

can u supply an export of the view for me to take a look at it please

@ezeedub, please examine the three attached printscreens, of my taxonomy view with a country field. I think this is what you mean.

I think that ezeedub has an actual country view, otherwise it is fairly hard to miss the formatter options for the country field. Must be fairly easy, I walked someone through creating the view here: #2051015: How to add Country Icons to the administrative table of countries, but can not see how the icon is inserted with PHP or a custom template that runs some PHP.

One way is (quick hack and would not be the final version):

countries.info

files[] = views/views_handler_field_countries_flag.inc

views/countries.views.inc

  $data['countries_country']['iso2_list'] = array(
    ....
  );
## Add this bit
  // Adds a formatter option for the country icon.
  if (module_exists('countryicons')) {
    $data['countries_country']['iso2_flag'] = array(
      'title' => t('Country Flag'),
      'help' => t('Flag provided by the Country Icons module.'),
      'real field' => 'iso2',
      'field' => array(
        'handler' => 'views_handler_field_countries_flag',
        'click sortable' => FALSE,
      ),
    );
  }

and the attached file, renamed to views/views_handler_field_countries_flag.inc

Simple field listing:

Producing:

In #2051015: How to add Country Icons to the administrative table of countries, that user added a computed field that stored the icon and that allowed him to render the flag just like any other field.

I'll keep this issue open for a views field handler ;)

A views field handler implemented by the Countries module would be an awesome addition! This would no longer need the Computed Field module to be involved. Very user-friendly :-)

Why do you think it's temporary?

Because it duplicates a significant amount of code... This should be handled by a helper function so that both of these forms stay sync'ed ;)

I have updated the patch. Now is not using deprecated function countries_get_country and maybe is going to pass testing.

Error fixed in the rendering fuction

Needs review will trigger the testing (albeit that isn't that comprehensive)

I have updated the issue to the last version, the patch is not for 2.1. Now it has passed the test.

Patches should however always be made against the current Git branch (7.x-2.x), which corresponds to the 7.x-2.x-dev release snapshot.
