This module allows an administrator to add fields, filters and sorts
to views which use custom callback functions. The callback functions need to be
placed in a custom module where they will be called.

While this module allows you to directly use a custom callback inside views
which may be useful for quick and easy solutions, it is highly advisable to use
regular handlers and plugins when available (or even to create one yourself).
Take note that filtering and sorting a view using PHP always has a considerable
performance impact.

There is heavily inspired by Views PHP but there is no upgrade path from that
module. It requires all PHP code to be in a module to avoid the danger of having
executable PHP code in the configuration.

Installation

  • Install this module using the official Backdrop CMS instructions.
  • Add a Custom callback field, area, filter, sort, access, or cache.
  • Copy the displayed callback signature to a custom module.

Available handlers

Click-sort is also available and accepts a number of predefined sort algorithms

A sort based on custom callback; use PHP to sort the result of a view.

Available plugins
