This group exists as a place for people interested in the group to talk about Views development; all development talk is encouraged here, from people who want to work on Views core to people who are interested in Views' API for their own modules. This is a good place to:
1) ask questions
2) talk about problems
3) propose ideas.
4) talk about views related projects.
This group is now unmoderated, and anyone can join at any time. Public posting of ideas is encouraged.
What I want most out of this is to keep track of what views related projects are going on and their status, and proposals for what people would like to see as Views moves forward.
Note: This is a working group. Do not post jobs here, you will lose your posting privileges entirely. Do not post support requests here; they will be deleted.

New to Drupal, just want to create and use a database (table) on various pages with a single page to edit data
I'm new to Drupal. Sorry, if I'm in the wrong group, but I'm looking for the best direction.
I want to create a database table, edit from a single list, but display results on various pages. I've done various database programming before. Drupal has so many modules to choose from, and many do similar things.
I'm just a bit overwhelmed by the variety of directions I could proceed. I'm looking for opinions about modules suited to my needs.
Thanks in advance, MTG
Read more TIPS for managing high-volume CCK fields site (wiki style)?
Greetings.
I am building a wiki site, which will have many CCK fields. I'm already feeling exhausted at the prospect of paging through a mile-long list of CCK fields when constructing views, for example. As this is a membership-only site, even the user profile has some 30 fields.
My plan is to create a unique content type for each category/topic (15+). Each content type will contain several common fields, so I've planned for that reuse of fields. Several fields will be conditional fields, some "other" combo fields.
Read moreTranslate terms in Views
Sorry, if this question is duplicate, but i can't find an answer how to make Views translate terms in D7. With Views 3 disabled, terms are shown according to user language (from url), but when enabled - terms are shown only in default language...
Can this be solved without hacks? It seams like a very common need, so i feel strange that it doesn't work from the box..
Read moreAdding to one view a variable filter (a result from another view )
Here is what I need to do:
1.Check the Creation DATE of the most recent node (article)
2. Create a view that lists all the nodes such that node.created = Creation DATE.
In other words, I want to be able to pass a variable date to the filtering criteria. I know I could construct it from scratch using 2 db_query calls but I am looking for a more intuitive way that does not require a lot of customization.
I have been trying to use hook_view_query_alter and add_where() but with not much success because I do not want to create a module just to do this.
How to use a custom table in Views?
I'm developing an auction site where people can bid on an item, which is implemented as a custom node type. So there should be at most a single value (the current bid) per user, per item.
I've tried out the Flag module, in particular with the "fieldable" patch, but it's not working very well and it's not going to get in a real release before the next major version (and the current major version is still in beta). So that's not really an option.
Read moreAjax-ified View creating problems with pager
I have a view which accepts taxonomy terms as arguments. I have accomplished the basic functionality using an ajax request.
Problem is, now the pager href is in the format of the ajax request (I'm guessing this is because the output came from that url) as opposed to: "?page=2" etc.
Does anyone have any tips on overcoming this? Cheers
Ajax code:
var container = $('#content-inner');
$('#block-menu-secondary-links a').bind('click', function(){
var trigger = $(this);
var arg = trigger.attr('title');
doAjax(arg,container);
Read more how to get the url of a node in a view to pass onto another view.
Hi, I posted this question on drupal forums but go no response, I then posted in the paid services forum and 3 people couldn't get it to work. So im hoping here will help.
Initially I had a view block that I would display on a node, the view had to arguments :
- Taxonomy Term ID (and children) from URL
- Node ID from URL
But now I'm trying to get the block to display on a view page.
The view page has filters/sort criteria, but only 1 item/node.
So i need to get the TID and NID from the url of the Node displayed in the view.
I was told this would work previously
Theming the teaser display format - AJAX problem
I have two views.
One uses a relationship to display a node-referenced field of a node-referenced field.
The other view simply includes the node-reference field.
Both are set to display the field using the "teaser" format.
I have a custom node tpl file for the content type in question.
When I run a search (exposed form) on the first view, I lose the custom node tpl HTML output, and instead see the default teaser output.
Performing a similar exposed filter search on view #2 correctly maintains my custom TPL code.

I have a page View and I have been manipulating the data inside the view using ajax. The changes get reflected in the database. The problem is when the page is refreshed, it shows the old cached data, even though I have set caching 'None' in the View .Also, when the cache is flushed, the actual data is displayed and please note that the logged users are using this page view
Can someone help me?
The code for displaying the view is as follows:
function narrative_production_schedule_block_refresh($date) {

Read moreCCK fields list in Views
Greetings.
I am working on a project wherein there will be TONS of cck fields. I am dreading scrolling through that massive list to build the many views needed. Is there some secret, backroom extension that can better manage that Content fields list in Views? Or suggestion about formatting the list -- perhaps to add more space inbetween items for easier reading?
Read morePanels with views, blocks vs panes
On a site with panels and views you have the option to create a display as a block or a pane.
What are the pros and cons? As far as I can see a block is more flexible than a pane and more universal, what was the reason for creating a pane display?
Kind Regards,
David
template file output (unformatted row style) differs based on role
I have created a template file (views-view-unformatted--event-search--block-6.tpl.php) to control row output.
Row style is fields, style unformatted (see TPL name) and grouped by an ID field, which is shared by nodes in the view.
This is an events search where each node represents a single day occurrence for a given event, but event details are shared, hence the shared ID field.
My goal was to use the first and last day occurrence dates to build one output "row" that would contain both dates, and suppress any other results within that group.

Views 2, xampp, Win7 x64 error 101 when edit view from list
I moved site from online (production) to local, made with xampp 1.7.4.
Everything works fine, but I can't edit any view from views list:
/admin/build/views/list
i.e. admin/build/views/edit/myviewname
Strange thing is that all views export, clone, and views itself (in blocks, pages, etc.) works good.
Apache logs brings nothing.
I'm confused.
Only Chrome browser said something like: page temporary unavailable, 101 (net::ERR_CONNECTION_RESET)
Does anyone meet this kind of problem?

Hi,
I have been trying to implement a custom module that can use views to display data from a remote database. I have successfully created a module and enabled it, however I cannot access my data through views. This is using Drupal 6.2 and Views 2.12.
Here is what I have done:
I created a custom module called displayjobs and stored it in /sites/all/modules. This directory contains displayjobs.info, displayjobs.module, and displayjobs.views.inc.
