views

Any reasonably complex Drupal website involves using Views for listing items and CCK for the creation of custom content types. Since each website has a unique look, a large part of creating a Drupal website is theming Views and nodes.

Drupal theming has changed with Drupal 6 and so has the Views theming. Here is a quick introduction to the new theming approach in Drupal 6 and Views 2.

Drupal Views are a fairly wonderful creation. They allow all kinds of usable, well….VIEWS, of your data in a Drupal site. They allow you to view your data either as a page or a block (or an RSS feed, etc), however one thing was was lacking was the ability to page content within a view block. The default view blocks provide you simply with a “more” link that will take you to the full blown page view. That was not working for us, or one of our clients and something has to give.
