Drupal 6: Embedding a View in a Template using views_embed_view

If you need to embed a view inside a template or a node if the input type is PHP code, there is a very simple function called views_embed_view() which will allow you to do so very easily.



I posted another method of doing this before here but this one is much simpler. The views_embed_view has 2 default arguments. The second argument allows you to enter the display_id of the view (example: default, page, block, etc). Any additional argument you specify will be passed to the views argument handler. For instance, if you wanted to embed the block view and pass it a list of nodeIDs as an argument:

<?php
$viewName = 'MYVIEWNAME';
$display_id = 'block';
$myNodes = array(1, 2, 3);
print views_embed_view($viewName, $display_id, $myNodes);
?>
