How to Use views
Hi, i think you need to tell us more as it is really hard to guess and besides that i have never come across such. Please let me know what Display format you are using and the fields enabled to show.
Also look into the Filter criteria area it is a common area. If you look closely at these areas you fix the problem especially if you are not getting any errors.
As of regions, i don't think you meant to achieve this using views rather it should have been easily achieved using panels.
A great Journey begins with a step forward.
Hi Aidah,How do you want to
Hi Aidah,
How do you want to display images and where are you getting the images from? Please elaborate more on the images.
You can divide the content region into a number of divisions by using the Views template files to over ride the default layout.
Find this template file by clicking the "Theme: information" Link under Basic Setting on the left panel for Drupal 6. For Drupal 7 it's under "Advanced" click to expand and look for Theme: Information.
E.G (Override the "row style output: views-view-fields--page.tpl.php") Create a new file and save it in your theme folder. In this file you can use Div's or Table to output your content in different divisions.
You can also look at this blog http://www.appnovation.com/theming-views-drupal-6-simple-way.
And here are nice video tutorials which can be of help http://learnbythedrop.com/drop/12

Hi Aidah Please be specific
CCK fields and content type will be a quick way of achieving the image part in views, i am not sure though on how you want to view the images (block or page), with content regions you can do it with theming, css, panels or tables or blocks. Please be specific with what you want to do and what you are using in terms of modules and drupal version then you get appropriate help.
