New view type: Image Gallery
You might be interested to know about a new view type that's now included in the image module: an image gallery view for image nodes.
This is in the latest 5.x-2.x-dev release of image. Existing galleries and blocks are reimplemented as views.

Hi,
I'm using views.module (altogether with some other modules) to run an events site for my town. I'm trying to get some views from the events nodes (CCK content type) but I don't have a clue how to filter them properly.
How to add context-dependent content to the view's output?
I have a view that displays (let's say) a grid (gallery) of pictures related to a given node X. This view has a parameter that's passed through the URL: http://mysite/node/$arg1/pictures. It works fine but I would like to be able to make a few changes to the output:
1) Change the title so that it says something like "Node X pictures", where Node X is the title of the node with ID that's passed through the parameter $arg1.
2) Add a link at the somewhere on the page that says "Start a slideshow". I have the slideshow view ready. Let's say it's URL is http://mysite/node/$arg1/slideshow
Read moreHow to turn a view into tab for a specific node type only?
Hello,
I have a view and the goal is to turn it into a tab that shows only for a specific node type. Here is what I do:
I have a page view called for e.g. x_pictures that is supposed to display all the pictures associated with a given node of type X. The URL I have given to it is node/$arg/pictures
In the "Menu" section of the page definition I have the following settings:
Provide Menu - checked
Provide Menu as Tab - checked
Make Default Menu Tab - NOT checked
Parent Menu Item Type - Already exists (don't create)
Product display with e-comerce using taxonomy menu
I am challenged & need assistance.
Novice Drupal user, have created a taxonomy structure, vocabularies (about 5), each with 3 to 20 terms, each term with 3 to 40 subterms.
I then create products, there may be 250+ of these.
Each of the products need to be "tagged" with 3-30 sub-terms and the parent term.
The tags, together with other links such as "read more" and "add to cart" display after the item subject. If the number of tags is more than 4, the tags and other links run into each other.
Read moreViews in the context of a node
Hi there,
I posted this question in the main Drupal forum but maybe this group is the right place for it.
Here is the situation:
I have a view defined that shows some information relevant/dependent on the context of a node. In my case I am using the view to show some related nodes to the main one.
Let's say the URL is http://mysite/views/show_more_data/[nid]
There is one parameter that is the node ID of the node we want to display more info about. This view works fine when called through the URL (a page view).
Adding or theming argument defaults
Is there a way to add a new type of default view for an argument, beyond the built-in 'Return Page Not Found', 'Display All Values', etc?
Or failing that, can it be drastically themed to return something different, from the definition of a new argument type in a module?
I'm trying to replicate the galleries made by image_gallery.module as a view, and I need to show a list of top-level galleries for the URL with no arguments.
Read moreViews 2: Call for help
Views 2 is currently being updated for Drupal 6 compatibility, but it needs major help in order to be ready for the Drupal 6's approximate release date! We're short on people and short on time, so here's the bottom line. Without your assistance and contributions, there will be no Views for Drupal 6 within any useful timeframe. If we don't have Views 2 ready for the D6 release date, the vast majority of casual users might not even bother to download and try Drupal 6. That would be bad, so you need to get involved in helping to complete Views 2 so this scenario doesn't happen!

The use case: I have Organic Groups which are associated with a vocabulary, and I want to list various content types associated with organic groups that are associated with a taxonomy term.
I ask the question here because it could be the entrance for some people (like myself) to actual views development.

At the next Drupal Group meeting, I will be discussing what I have learned so far about theming a view using the template.php file. I will explain how I was able to create a nice little table, and how I could not only control the formatting, but also where and when the data is displayed.
