Scarcity of tutorials on Arguments in Views

jeeves - January 18, 2009 - 09:10

I'm getting reasonably proficient in building views with Views 2. However, Arguments still remains a vast mystery. I have Googled, hunted through Youtube and Drupal Dojo, and even read the new book from the Lullabot team -- But nothing there seem to explain how to use Arguments

Any ideas on how to learn Arguments, or perhaps some website(s) I may have missed?

Did you read all the issues

Did you read all the issues in the issues queue for Views that ask about Arguments? Merlinofchaos has given lots of replies, thats how i picked up most of what i learned, though a lot went over my head as i have little programing knowledge, or better put outdated :).

It may be better to ask for specific cases, which others may be able to help with

subscribing to this as i've been struggling with arguements. I can't seem to get multi-word arguements (single arguement, multiple words with spaces) to work so i've been forced to use term IDs or node IDs.

Have you read the views2
