In our current workflow we create Nodequeues and (extensively) customize the views, which are then exported to files and loaded through a module. This raises the issue of having multiple modules attempting to load a view with the same name. So then I rename the customized one, but then both the customized one and the automatically generated one are available, which can both add confusion to users and also add headache for development.

So it would be really great if NodeQueue could either:

  • Not enable the automatically created Views by default.
  • or Not automatically create the Views in the first place.

Obviously these would be configurable so site admins could manage it. I'll see if I can do up a patch or two.

I could've sworn the automatically created views were not enabled by default.

As of the latest v6.x-2.2 release the nodequeues are automatically enabled.

Isn't this a duplicate of #423284: Drop automatic view creation?

ezra: it pretty much is, though I was also open to just not enabling them by default.
