Views Developers

Any chance of rolling a new release for Drupal 5? I know everyone's excited about Views 2, but the last release (1.6) was last July, and I've run into some bugs that do have patches sitting out there... I've got a client that's uncomfortable going into production with Views 1.6 + CVS + uncommitted patches...

Thanks.

I'm building a link directory. Links are location based. I want to to create link listing grouped by Country and Cities. I'm not able to find out how I can do this.
Pls help me.

Thought it'd be a good idea to start a discussion specificially on how this might work.

This is a very rough outline from my first post on this subject Drupal.org the redesign - high level.

I did a little experiment recently to see how we could get e-Commerce Transactions into views in D5. The reason I did this was because I'd like to de-couple store crud routines from store admin ui code so that someone could write an alternative admin interface for ecommerce. The current admin interface is clumsy and always begging to be hacked.

For those not familiar with ecommerce, transactions are represented by a few tables, I was just interested in the main one ec_transaction for this experiment.

(Note: yes, usernode does something like this for users.)

First off, if this has already been discussed/decided or if, as a non-views-developer, just a web-dev using drupal, I'm not allowed to post here, please say so and I'll move along never to return to this group.

Right, onto something which in the current drupal5 views module, I've found a little frustrating.
It's related to the Header, Empty text and Footer text input areas.

I have to lock down the Views area to knowledgeable site admin's only, as users I define as editors have a nasty habit of breaking my carefully constructed views logic.

Hi There
I have been trying to filter view with the cck date field, and can't make it to work , i am missing something...

I have an defined event content type with a start date & end date
I have created an events view that i wish to filter as a start date with the logic :

1. if no argument has been sent to the view than start_date >= now
2. if a date parameter has been sent then start_date >= arg[0]

if have 3 filters , first 2 are published and term id , and another filter "start_date" "greater or equal to" and set the value to "now"

in the arguments i have set the code

Six months ago, Dries linked to this DabbleDB demo from his blog. He hailed it as a vision for what CCK and Views could ultimately be. The demo is positively breathtaking in the flexibility of fields to morph and change. Further, the usability of the UI is outstanding. Everyone in these group really ought to watch the demo, and discuss what small changes we can make to get closer to this.

Some starting points:

• Can we design a flow whereby node_import module could suggest and then create the needed CCK fields to hold the incoming data?
• Can we add a metric ton of flexibility to CCK whereby we can take a field and move it into a new content type (i.e. the demo moves Person into a 1st class object) and move fields (and data) between content types (in the demo, the Company field moves over the new Person 'content type').
• Could we get a View created automatically for each content type that has the right exposed filters automatically? And then a UI which progressively shows those exposed filters in the 'query by example' method in the demo?
• The demo has a notion of saving ad hoc queries. Our equivalent is Views Saved Searches. Should this be a core feature of Views, or otherwise better integrated?

Natural sorting, also known as natural order, is about putting the string "Chapter 10" after the string "Chapter 2".

Or about putting "I like it with 3.5 spoons of sugar" after "she'll have 2 spoons".

We humans prefer it this way.
