Description
Has any development started here? It would be really nice to have some pre-built examples.
I have been playing with views in storm and can't quite do the things I would like to because of a limit in replacement patterns (for example if you would like to output "Storm: Project Manager Title" as a link to that project managers person page) and not allowing it to use the "Assigned to" field in filters etc.
#1
See #576054: Addition of views examples module - there isn't actually going to be a new component (I will remove the component from the issues dropdown), but at somepoint will add some to the relevant modules.
If you've built any useful ones - please do export and share!

Reading through your post again:
- 'Storm: Project Manager title' can be output as a link to the Storm person node. To do this, also load the field 'Storm: Project Manager nid' into the view, and use this as part of the replacement pattern.
- I'll add the filter for assigned to.

@deggertson: Re the assigned to filter, are you looking for it to display a dropdown of Storm People / Storm Teams or something like that?
I've just made a few improvements to the filters just now - it is definitely possible to filter at the moment but not very user friendly as you'd need to know the node id of the person or team. I'll write a handler to make it a bit more user friendly at some point.

Thanks Magnity! You've already helped so much!
So this is what I'm trying to do. I would like to create a view that lists all the projects assigned to the person currently logged in... It has been a bit difficult for me to figure out how to make this work or if it's even possible. I've attached a txt file with the code for the view I have so far. I am by no means a views expert but am learning and appreciate your help and feedback.
Thanks again!

Long time, no comments...
A user can be assigned directly as a Storm Person, or indirectly in a Storm team. There probably is a way of doing the logic, but I'm not exactly sure of what it would be at the moment - it wouldn't be simple.
Will think about a way to either:
a) make it simpler
or b) figure out the way to configure it.
This should be one of the views shipped with Storm I reckon, I'm sure a lot of people would want to see this type of thing.
