New Views Examples Module... let me know what you want added

Events happening in the community are now at Drupal community events on www.drupal.org.

I've just contributed the Views Examples module which is a collection of views examples that can be enabled and used directly within views.

http://drupal.org/project/views_examples

Most of the examples are fairly straightforward but I want to add some more complex ones as well. I do have one somewhat complex example using the views_groupby module to create a view of nodes similar to the node being viewed based on taxonomy terms (sorted by the number of common terms). This was something that someone asked if I knew how to do because they couldn't find it anywhere in on the web.

I have started a list of views I plan to add in, but am looking for feedback on additional examples you might find useful or you think others might find useful.

Maybe there is something you want to do in views, but you don't know how?

Maybe there are views that your clients need time and time again?

Maybe other drupal users/developers keep asking how to do a certain type of view?

Thanks in advance for your feedback!

Perhaps a demo site?

Hi Kristen,

I haven't had a chance to look at the examples yet, and will install them, but perhaps one way to get feedback is to provide a demo site with the views_examples module enabled? I know I need to see what the view looks like before I decide if it's close to the functionality I want.

Thanks,
Anthony.

Great idea!

That's a really good idea... maybe I'll install it on my kristen.org site and make a special section of the site for showing the examples views in action.

Thanks!
Kristen

If you can expose your tables

If you can expose your tables to views so that we can use them globally. I've been having plenty of issues with this. I can maybe expose the table fields but I can't use them in any view I create. Just a default one. Not show how to get this to work.
