Views

The Views module provides a customized, flexible method for Drupal site designers to control how lists and tables of content (nodes in Views 1, almost anything in Views 2) 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 as a page, block, or other format such as an RSS feed.

Documentation for the Views module:

• Views 1.x (for Drupal 5.x) Documentation There is a small amount of unofficial Views 2.x documentation there as well.
• Official Views 2.x documentation is contained within the Views module itself; you will need to install the Advanced Help module to see it.
• Check the Views module project page for more documentation sources

NOTE: Please do not add pages to this section!

• If you have documentation to add for Views 1, please add it to the Views 1.x (for Drupal 5.x) Handbook.
• If you have documentation to add for Views 2, it needs to go into the Advanced Help inside the module. You are encouraged to file an issue in the Views issue queue with your suggestions for additions and improvements to the documentation. Quick tips can also be added to the unofficial section above, but this is not recommended, because people won't find them (since most of the documentation is inside the Views module).
