2.2.1.1 Views Module - View Creation

in
2.2.1.1

A creation of one view using the Drupal views module. An additional $15.00 fee will be applied (for the installation and configuration) if the views module http://drupal.org/project/views and/or views bonus pack http://drupal.org/project/views_bonus modules are not installed or if it the modules need to be updated.  This price does not include PHP arguments that may be necessary for the view to function correctly.  Each PHP argument is usually around $29.

The views module provides a flexible method for Drupal sitedesigners to control how lists of content (nodes) are presented.Traditionally, Drupal has hard-coded most of this, particularly in howtaxonomy and tracker lists are formatted.

This tool is essentially a smart query builder that, given enoughinformation, can build the proper query, execute it, and display theresults. It has four modes, plus a special mode, and provides animpressive amount of functionality from these modes.

You need Views if:

  • You like the default front page view, but you find you want to sort it differently.
  • You like the default taxonomy/term view, but you find you want to sort it differently; for example, alphabetically.
  • You use /tracker, but you want to restrict it to posts of a certain type.
  • You like the idea of the 'article' module, but it doesn't display articles the way you like.
  • You want a way to display a block with the 5 most recent posts of some particular type.
  • You want to provide 'unread forum posts'.
  • You want a monthly archive similar to the typical Movable Type/Wordpress archives that displays a link to the in the form of "Month, YYYY (X)" where X is the number of posts that month, and displays them in a block. The links lead to a simple list of posts for that month.

Views can do a lot more than that, but those are some of the obvious uses of Views.
