Class

views_handler
Base handler, from which all the other handlers are derived. It creates a common interface to create consistency amongst handlers and data.

Code

function init(&$view, $options) {
    $this->view =& $view;
    $display_id = $this->view->current_display;
    // Check to see if this handler type is defaulted. Note that
    // we have to do a lookup because the type is singular but the
    // option is stored as the plural.
