Programatically disable view.

This should be used in a hook_menu definition as the callback to provide a link to disable 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 disabled.
// You will still need to provide a link to this menu item somewhere appropriate.
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>/disable'] = array(
   'title' => 'Disable <VIEW-HUMAN-READABLE-NAME>',
   'page callback' => 'tripal_disable_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 disabling your own default view when your module is uninstalled
function mymodule_uninstall() {

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