Programatically enable view

This should be used in a hook_menu definition as the callback to provide a link to enable the view (first example). It can also be called directly if needed (second example).

 Create a URL that when the user navigates there, a given view will be 
 enabled.
 You will still need to provide a link to this menu item somewhere 
 appropriate (ie: an admin landing page).

function mymodule_menu () {
$items = array();

 //Create one of these for each of your default views
 $items['admin/tripal/<PATH-TO-YOUR-ADMIN-SECTION>/views/<VIEW-MACHINE-NAME>/enable'] = array(
 'title' => 'Enable <VIEW-HUMAN-READABLE-NAME>',
 'page callback' => 'tripal_enable_view',
 'page arguments' => array('<VIEW-MACHINE-NAME>', '<PATH-TO-REDIRECT-TO-AFTERWARDS>'),
 'access arguments' => array('<YOUR-PERMISSION-KEY>'),
'type' => MENU_CALLBACK,
 );

 return $items;
}

 Call this function directly to disable a view
 The example shows enabling your own default view when your module is enabled.
 This might be useful if you disable your view when your module is disabled.
function mymodule_enable() {

 $view_name = '<VIEW-MACHINE-NAME>';
tripal_enable_view($view_name);

 }

Parameters

$view_name: The machine-name of the view to be enabled

$redirect_link: The path to redirect to. FALSE if no redirect needed
