I would like a View configuration that allows me to add a table of contents to a View.

I know this is possible by using the insert_views modules, but that method requires an otherwise unnecessary node be created. Which makes this non-desired.

Yeah... the other method is to write your own PHP code. 8-)

Thank you.

Hence why a "feature request". I started looking into writing a module to do it myself. I have a question I asked here, http://drupal.stackexchange.com/questions/14761/how-do-i-create-custom-p...

Not much traction yet. I am also looking through the API here, http://views.doc.logrus.com. Trying to get a broader handle on Views guts. But an example might be nice. I know Panels creates custom View Display settings so I might dig through their code. If there is a conventional way of doing it I'd rather do it that way though than come up with my own code based only on digging through the API.

I never created my own display. But I am wondering whether you're looking for creating a field instead, which did create in the padfile module along with a new type (i.e. the padfile type, since padfile doesn't make use of a node, which it should have, but oh well...)

Thank you.
