Set filter type for the filter_hashtags filter (Commons Hashtags module) and insert_view filter (Insert View module)

This it not something that should be taken of in other contrib modules. The edit module should check if 'type' isset, and if not, fallback to a default. According to the docs type is not a needed parameter.

If the maintainer of the Edit module does not want to add extra checks you can do this yourself easily using a hook_filter_info_alter.

<?php
MYMODULE_filter_info_alter(&$filters) {
  $filters['filter_hashtags']['type'] = FILTER_TYPE_MARKUP_LANGUAGE;
}
?>

Is this issue relevant to the following error message?

The filter "insert_view" has no type specified! This is required for the Edit module. Please consult Edit module's README

I've read https://drupal.org/node/1817474 like the readme suggests however it's double dutch to me! :)

Could someone please instruct me as how to solve this? I know how to get rid of the errors - uninstall insert_view module however it's an essential part of the site so that's not really an option.

If it's not the same issue my apologies in advance.

BarisW is right: Edit extends Drupal 7 core's API in this way, so other modules should not be forced to implement this. Whenever somebody reports another filter, I implement it in Edit module's hook_filter_info_alter().

I've now implemented it for both filter_hashtags and insert_view.

Thanks for reporting!
