Modifying a view with a views hook: example of custom empty text

From wsf_action.module:

<?php
/**
 * Implementation of hook_views_pre_view
 *
 */
function wsf_action_views_pre_view(&$view) {  // don't need $items
 // in_array($view->name, $place_views)
  if (substr($view->name, 0, 6) == 'place_') {
    wsf_action_place_view($view);
  }
}

function wsf_action_place_view(&$view) {
  // work around an apparent bug in views regarding panels
  // see
  $view->nodes_per_block = $view->pager_limit;
  $place_tid = arg(1);
  $view->page_empty = wsf_action_place_view_empty($place_tid);
  $view->block_empty = wsf_action_place_view_empty($place_tid);
}

function wsf_action_place_view_empty($place_tid = NULL) {
  return t('No content of this type yet.');
}
?>
