This course focuses on the use of the Views module.
From the Views Project Page:
The views module provides a flexible method for Drupal site designers to control how lists of content (nodes) are presented. Traditionally, Drupal has hard-coded most of this, particularly in how taxonomy and tracker lists are formatted.
This tool is essentially a smart query builder that, given enough information, can build the proper query, execute it, and display the results. It has four modes, plus a special mode, and provides an impressive amount of functionality from these modes.
The Views module is possibly the most useful and powerful module available in Drupal. In this 2 part course we will focus on some of the more advanced features of the Views module, including:
Day 1:
- theming and templates for Views
- the views_build_view function and how to use views in ways you'd never think of
Day 2
- query substitution - when you can't quite get it right.
- ajax and views
- some extreme views examples
This course will consist of both lecture and practical work as well as some real project examples.
This course consists of 8 hours of in class training spread across 2 days (4 hours each day).
Drupal Advanced: Views 1 is required as a prerequisite to this course.
