Views - convert page view to block
zuessh - October 27, 2009 - 13:48
Hello, i am running drupal 6.14 with views 6.2.6 and would like to display fivestar voting results in a block. There is a default view called top_content that has exactly what i need, except the results are displayed in a page instead of block. Is there a way to convert the page view to a block view? Thanks in advance.

I am a learner like you but I've been living inside views for some time now. If top_content provides a default view, then those settings should be the default when you click within views on the block setting. So, couldn't one just add the block display to the default view and then adjust as needed for the block?
Thanks for the reply, however
Thanks for the reply, however i'm not sure i understand exactly. The view is not of the type 'block' it is a 'page' type. I need to convert it to a block if possible. am i just missing something in the view setup that tells it to be a page instead of a block?
In the left column of the
In the left column of the View work area, it should say Defaults, Page, Add Display. Page should have a drop-down selection menu. Click the arrow and you'll see the list: Attachment, Block, Content Pane, Date Browser, Feed, Page. Click on block. Click 'Add Display' That gives you a block view. The block view will display the settings established in the default view. You may modify those but be very careful to use "over-ride" not update default. If you do the latter, you will change the settings in all displays, as you will be changing the default settings. Just look at the page settings and I'm supposing you can use those in your block display. Now, keep in mind that I have not looked at the module you are using. Just going on my experiences...
