Implement Featured content block to spec

What it looks like is we essentially need another "view mode" rather than node teasers (assuming node teasers are used on main listing pages like /events, etc.) because events, posts, and polls don't share the same fields, so this can't be a field type view.

Thanks. I think we can use the "hide if empty" option and still have a fielded view. In fact, I think we're already doing this for event nodes in the view.

Leaving this issue open and bumping to "Major" priority to test and complete this.

Good call!

I've made the following improvements to this block:

- # of comments field is now labeled and uses format_plural()
- # of attendees field is now present and uses format_plural(). This required patching the Views integration for the registration module: #1838930: The "slots used" Views field should be a child of views_handler_field_numeric.
- There's now a handy content type class so we can add those lovely icons to each row in the view
- The block title is now "Featured on this site"

However, we're somewhat blocked on #1504202: Allow entering of custom date format in Views field handlers for formatting the date field to spec. Marking needs work pending that and also pending themeing.

Here's a screenshot of the current state of this block:

I am not sure what this issue is asking. can i get a little better direction and a page where this shows up.

Thanks.

Hi Andrew,
Hope this helps - see attached image
I created a snapshot of all content types as they are currently showing on the Featured content pane.
Used Feb-14 dev version

** In Drupal Commons prototype "featured on this site" only shows up on the homepage.

Thanks for the helpful screenshot, rosemeria! setting back to "active."

I rejiggered the styling for these icons to make it more generic and related to a common set of classes. I then performed php magic/blasphemy and applied said classes to views.
