Does WP have something like Drupal's views?

Posted by good88 on December 3, 2009 at 12:58am

It may help to clarify what Views is for those who don't use Drupal:
"This tool is essentially a smart query builder that, given enough information, can build the proper query, execute it, and display the results. It has four modes, plus a special mode, and provides an impressive amount of functionality from these modes."

Basically, it's an extremely powerful and flexible GUI to rapidly build SQL queries and display the results.

Does wordpress have something similar?

Thanks

WP does not have content type

Posted by netbabu on December 3, 2009 at 7:29am

Before checking for "views" plugin in WP, you need to ask - does WP have "content type"?

I have used WP but I don't think WP provides "content type" feature like drupal does. Without "content type" feature, Views module cannot exist!!

WordPress has Content Types, they are called "Post Types"

Hi Babu,

WordPress definitely has Content Types, they are called "Post Types" with "Post" and "Page" being their standard post types. You can modify the standard ones via code, or you can create your own Custom Post Types for WordPress if you like.

Hope this helps.
