$view_orig was used to prevent overridden views from corrupting the view variable as per fix #427, however passing $vars is probably a sensible thing to do.

Hi Marcus,

There is a little problem when you are trying of overwrite a view with this method. The parameteres passed to the original view are not passed to the delegated ones.

This is because the current code on elgglib is:
+ $content = trigger_plugin_hook(‘display’,'view’,array(‘view’ => $view_orig),$content);

and not

$content = trigger_plugin_hook(‘display’,'view’,array(‘view’ => $view,’vars’=>$vars),$content);

Cheers,
