Views Unionize creates a new views display type called Union. Union displays enable results from display queries to be unioned together prior to being displayed. Effectively, they are a simple way to get multiple
view results within the same view.

Any thoughts on the module? Is there anything further I need to provide?

Thanks,
-Tim

You could start with :-)

- a coder.module review (better layout, spaces instead of tabs, more docs)
- remove all dead code
- clean up .info file (remove the 'automated' last 4 lines)
- add a README.txt to introduce and explain the module a little

Sweet.. thanks for the direction. I'll get those points incorporated and check back.

Just updated to clean up the code and to include the README.txt file with some instructions on how to use it. Let me know if there are other things I should be completing.

Anything else I need to include for evaluation? Thanks!

Does this match with the concept of http://drupal.org/project/views_union ?

If so I suggest that you take over that namespace when you do create this project.

It seems like you've got users already - http://drupal.org/project/issues/1101912 - it would be great if you can help them out.

I've pinged dereine who does project reviews and is very familiar with views to see if he can review this.

Sorry, I must not have my notifications turned on! Okay, I'm addressing issues now. Thanks for your help!

Yes, the concept is the same as views_union. I'd love to take that over, as a D6 "port" (tho I hadn't looked at the code, as I wasn't familiar enough with D5 and didn't know if it would be useful). I thought the project needed to be approved first..?

tsimms, you should evaluate yourself if views_union does the same job as views_unionize (even if it's in Drupal 5, install it and test it). I doubt you would be able to contact the maintainer of views_unionize (linuxbox) to help you on this as he has not been active in Drupal.org since October 2008.

Before your module gets approved you must convince the community that it is genuine. Please get back when you have studied views_unionize and post here your findings.

subscribe. looking for a way to union two or more views together.

@juampy: noted, tho for the record, this is views_unionize; the predecessor is views_union. Okay, I'll study it and see what I find. If views_union isn't being actively maintained, is there a possibility of the two being merged under the views_union namespace, and having me maintain the project? There won't be any code changes to the D5 version in any case it would appear, so it might be good to simply things through consolidation.

Excellent initiative. Start claiming to comaintain views_unionize by creating an issue in the project page where you will explain what has been discussed here and your commitment to take the lead on that module.

Please have a look at this page, it has a few helpful links to claim for maintainership or for an existing project's namespace: drupal.org/node/7765.

hi I just completed the first version of a views_union module for drupal 6. It is a complete rewrite and I am interested in any opinions on it.
You can find the module in my sandbox under http://drupal.org/sandbox/cbergmann/1365870 .

I will also contact the maintainer of views_union and ask if he is willing to accept my code as a drupal 6 version of views_union.

I would be happy if you would give me feedback.
Thanks in advance
Clemens

@tsimms has been contacted to ask if the application is abandoned.

After ten weeks with a status of needs work: the applicant may be contacted by a reviewer to determine whether the application was indeed abandoned. The action taken by the reviewer should be documented in the project application issue.

Great contribution, tsimms!

Hmm, this application appears a bit old and not needed too much anymore. #275162: Drupal 6 port of Views Union seems to be the best place to move this. See also #748844: How to: Combine or merge multiple views/queries into a single view (using hook_views_pre_execute) for D7.

@cbergmann: it'd be great if you got involved in those issues too. I don't see that you've submitted an application for your sandbox code, but those two issues would probably offer the greatest potential for valuable contribution.

Thanks, all!
