Hey Guys,

Have been hunting around for a solution to this, but so far no joy. Problem is this, I was to display the author field next to my amazon products, but whenever the book has multiple contributors, the view displays the item multiple times. I think this has something to do with grouping multiple items, but I haven't been able to work out if there is a working fix for it or not. Has anyone overcome this problem before?

This is an issue with how to use views. Please provide the ASIN that you're working with, and attach files with
- An export of your CCK type
- An export of your view

Thanks,

This is a standard views issue, so I'm closing.

Basically, in this case you have to either choose "group by" and select only one item, or choose to output a row for each.

You may also be interested in trying the "All Participants" field, which groups all as a single item.
