  • This module introduces a very flexible way to handle arguments in Drupal through a set
    of helper functions.
    
    EXAMPLE:
    Imagine you want to call a car view page ("car_view") which has to handle 
    three arguments: year, make, model.
    
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------
    THE OLD, CLASSICAL WAY:
    mysite.com/myview/2008/Volkswagen/Polo
    
    why it's not perfect: 
    
    -	if you want to pass data this way, in the view you would have to setup 
    	three arguments: year, make, model in this exact order. 
    
    -	if one argument is missing this would bring some trouble.
    	I.e. submitting: mysite.com/myview/2008/Polo 
    	would cause the view to assign the "Polo" value to the "make" argument
    
    -	it's not easy manage a lot of arguments and easily add/remove them if 
    	they are organized in a sequence. 
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------
    WITH ARGUMENT_PICKER: 
    in the view, you can setup as a default argument for "year" this php function: 
    
    <?php
    return arg_picker_get_view_argument("year");
    ?>
    
    now you can load the query this way: 
    
    mysite.com/myview/year:2008/make:Volkswagen/model:Polo
    OR
    mysite.com/myview/year:2008/model:Polo/make:Volkswagen
    OR
    mysite.com/myview/make:Volkswagen/model:Polo/year:2008/
    
    The function will grab the argument from the url, simply returning "all" 
    in case it's not present. 
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------
    
    The function can be used freely in panels, blocks, modules or wherever you want.
    I successfully used it for implementing a full-featured complex relational 
    faceted search module on an automotive site. 
    However it can be used in a variety of cases, most commonly 
    when you want a component to get an argument "on the fly" without having to mess 
    with other arguments or painfully dealing with the arg() indexes.
