Views Default View Override

Contributed Module

Many modules (most notably commerce) provide default views to define much of their interface but hard code the view that is used to render that interface. That means that modifications to these views cannot easily be deployed in code or otherwise managed via tools like features.

Views Default View Override allows modules to implement a hook (`hook_default_views_overrider_views_to_override`) to announce views that need to be overridden and what view to override them with. There is currently no interface, it is an API module only. With a view overridden you will not be able to edit the original view because you will be redirected to the new view. This is to prevent users from accidentally investing time in making changes to a view that is no longer visible anywhere on the site.
