Views is a very powerful and well-known module that allows site builders the ability to display content in just about any way imaginable. Today's meeting we're going to share some cool tips and tricks we have learned to make views do some interesting things. Some examples:
- Change the title to an external link if a field is filled out (without using PHP filter).
- Put together a simple slideshow.
- A Q&A list that reveals the answer when the question is clicked
- Custom RSS feeds
- Share your tricks too!
Thursday, April 14, 7pm to 9pm followed by beverages at a local watering hole.
