I'm learning to develop for Drupal 7 and figured I'd start with something simple, like a custom formatter. I have a content type that contains several boolean fields indicating if the content type belongs to certain class of objects. When I create a view of the content types, all the boolean fields show a 1 or a 0, when I would like it to display an image instead. I created the following CheckBoxFormatter.module file
<?PHP /** * @file * Creates a custom format for boolean fields, a checked checkbox for true * and unchecked for false */ /** * Implements hook_field_formtatter_info() */ function CheckBoxFormatter_field_formatter_info() { return array( 'CheckBoxFormatter' => array( 'label' => t('Checkboxes'), 'field types' => array('boolean') ), ); } /** * Implements hook_field_formatter_view() */ function CheckBoxFormatter_field_formatter_view($obj_type, $object, $field, $instance, $langcode, $items, $display) { $elements = array(); foreach($items as $delta => $item) { //Build variables array for formatter $element = array( '#obj_type' => $obj_type, '#object' => $object, '#field' => $field, '#instance' => $instance, '#langcode' => $langcode, '#items' => $items, '#display' => $display ); if (function_exists($function = "{$display['module']}_field_formatter_{$display['type']}")) { $elements[$delta] = array( '#markup' => $function($element) ); } } return $elements; } /** * creates the actual checkboxes */ function CheckBoxFormatter_field_formatter_CheckBoxFormatter($variables) { $img = array("<URL TO UNCECKED>","<URL TO CHECKED>"); $disp = array("Unchecked","Checked"); $element = array(); foreach($variables['#items'] as $delta => $item) { $element[$delta] = array( '#markup' => '<img src="' . $img[$item['value']] . '" alt="' . $disp[$item['value']] . '" />' ); } return $element; } I uploaded this to all/sites/modules/CheckBoxFormatter. I was able to activate the module in the modules section of my drupal site. Now, when I go back to the view I created, this new formatter doesn't show up. I also do not see it as an option under Manage Display for the content type. What am I doing wrong?
