Views Developers

Dear members of the Semantic Web & Views development,

I have been playing with the idea of using Drupal as rapid development environment for (semantic) web applications, rather than CMS. The idea is not as far-fetched as it may seem at first:

CCK allows me to define a database model. Core functionality in D7.

Feeds parser lets me to pre-fill the data in nodes defined in step 1 - including the possibility to fetch data at regular intervals, update nodes and drop old nodes.

RDF-related functionality allows me to associate the data saved in pre-defined nodes with ontology terms.

Views allow mixing of data from different node types

It is also possible to programatically define data (e.g. automatically fill in a field) both in the node and in the View

Finally, there are plenty of modules that let me do just about anything with the data once I have it in nodes & views. Some exampels include e.g. visualization on a map, and setting up a web server (SOAP, REST, ...) that exposes my data to the outside world.

Hello!

I was wondering if anyone knew why there might be "missing" fields within the views result object. The specific field in question is the node "path" field. When previewing the view it of course is there. When I dump the results within my script it is not.

Here's some context:
I'm writing a custom script that will generate CSV data of blog nodes.

Within a PHP script, I have the following code:


$all_results_view = views_get_view("list_blog_entries");
$all_results_view->set_display("block_1");
$all_results_view->execute();

Hello,

How would I go about using views to build this query below? Is it even possible? Thank you for any help or advice.


SELECT node_revisions.vid AS node_revisions_vid,
node_revisions.nid AS nid,
node.type AS node_type,
node.status AS node_status,
node.created AS node_created,
node.changed AS node_changed,
node_revisions.title AS node_title,
node_revisions.timestamp AS node_revisions_timestamp,
content_field_deadline.field_deadline_value AS field_deadline_value,
term_data.name AS term_data_name,
term_data.description AS term_data_description,

Hi All,

If anyone could help me out that would be greatly appreciated. I have a views slideshow of about 8 youtube videos.

When you load the page in Chrome one video sticks to the top right corner of the page. If you slide through the videos is disappears, but it always shows up when the page loads.

Its a slideshow with a rightturn effect on hover. I switched it and tryed not on hover, different effects and still has that chrome bug.

I tested in FF IE and Safari and it works fine. Chrome is the only problem.

I attached a screen-shot of it so you can see.

Hi again,

I tried searching for this but couldn't find the right keywords :P I'm sure this is a common requirement.

What I want to do is sort my view on a field from a referenced content type. But the problem is that the sort column is coming back with all NULLs.

For example, say I have 2 content types: Sales and Province, where the Sales table has a node reference to Province. The Province type has a Display Order field that I want the view to be sorted on.

Hi guys... It's my 2 weeks in Drupal and am doing a project which was called "Market Price Watch".

Here in our local city, we have a buy and sell site which I do not own.. most of the sellers put an overpriced item and the admin have no control with it.. (I mean he cannot say to sellers to lower their prices base on the current prices of the gadgets)

Im trying to create a simple view that assigns #a-#z ID's to list items.
also does anyone know if its possible to load every 2nd and 3rd list item with an alternate (bigger) image?

Does anybody know how to make that happen?

Hello All,

I was building one theme based on fusion theme. Now all elements are set properly. Now i have created a view which is displayed in block. View display images of particular node if that node has image in CCK filed. So i created view with argument as Node:nid and Provide default argument and Node ID from URL. This works fine for all those nodes which have images. But when any node do not have any image at that time it should not display. But my problem is it is displaying. I have attached screen-shot of how it looks.

I'm well aware of Views Or; I'm looking for something that would do a Conditional Filter. Example:

I have a CCK field called showcase. If there is any node with the showcase field set to TRUE then I only want to display nodes of that type. But if none of my nodes have showcase selected then I would like to ignore this filter to still display nodes in this view. View has a random sort; also using sorting to do filtering doesn't seem like the correct way to do this.

Has anyone created a views plug-in like this?
