Views Developers

Since there is no UI, you need to build Views 'by hand'. This is doable. This is a test module I'm using which, I hope, demonstrates how views can be created, saved, loaded, built, executed and rendered.

Because g.d.o has a markdown syntax that totally interferes, the snippet is here: http://www.angrydonuts.com/node/150

Hi. I'd like to document some links to Views2 UI mockups here. Links to the files have been bouncing around in IRC, maybe this can be a place for further thoughts on how Views2 could best present it's functionality to the user. I'll be updating any new screens here.

These all concern the “create new view” part of the UI, looking for ways to present all the available settings in a more compact layout.

So Drupal 6 has been the first release cycle I've been involved with on any level, did a few reviews and submitted some very small patches, and followed a lot more as they went in or didn't. The overriding feeling I've got from it is that the division in core between api and cms-type modules is causing problems that are increasingly hard to deal with.

(also posted at http://drupal.org/node/169955, but I realized this is a better place to ask)

Is there an easy way to generate a clean list of taxonomy terms used in the most recently created nodes?

Playing with views, I could create a list of terms used, but not a list with duplicates removed, multiple terms split apart (ie no commas), etc.

I'm thinking along the lines of 'Recent Topics Discussed', so I don't want the cruft of doubles/etc, just a way for someone to see XYZ was discussed, and a single link (via taxonomy) to items using that term.

Hi - setting up a large ecommerce site with Views handling the catalog pages (about 12,000 skus). Last item remaining... I need to maintain breadcrumb/menu active state when users click from a view page to a node. Can modify these in the product.module, if I can get the referring view - this is what I'm trying at the moment (in Drupal 5.2):

First Attempt:
<?php
$last_page = substr(referer_uri(), 29); //trimming off the domain, whats left is the views path

if ( preg_match("/store/", $last_page) ) { //match if coming from a view page, they all start with store...

I've begun work on Views 2.

Due to the fact that all of the systems that Views relies on have undergone massive overhaul, and the API changes I want to do, this had turned out to basically be a ground up rewrite. THis is probably good as it will let me really get rid of some problems that are leftover from how I started this whole thing out, but of course it's going to take some time.

Hi there,

I need some help to update the event_views module to the rewritten version of the event module aka "event 5.2". I am not too familiar with views.

The main change is the change of storage format for dates. All previous versions of event used "seconds since 1970" as storage mode, 5.2 uses actual SQL dates.

Please let met know if you are interested in helping out, I'd hate to release event 5.2 without views support.

Cheers,
Gerhard

Originally posted at my blog, these are my high level design goals for Views 2.

Views 2 will be the Drupal 6 port. Views 1 will not be ported to Drupal 6; this is so we can make wholesale changes to the API at the same time there are other changes, reducing the number of complex upgrades required.

HI

I'm about to finish writing a module allows to refine current view results by taxonomy terms, displayed in a separate block. Something like exposed filters does but with links instead of select and number of items after each link. To calculate a number of items that will be returned when user clicks on some term I'm using views_build_view function

I'm also want to handle arguments here and pass it to the code below as third argument.
