I am wondering about the possible future compatibility of TOC and Viewfield. Viewfield is similar to Insert View and has a similar end result but one of the main differences is that it's a CCK field in a drop down list.

I like the idea of rendering a view like this better for my editors as it seems like a much more bullet proof way to insert a node in a view. I picture an editor just wiping out Insert View code someday and then having to get that back.

Although we use revisioning (which could recover the lost code) it seems permissions-wise a CCK field that does this might be better. I have tested Viewfield and it works great so it would be nice to have this compatible with TOC. thanks.

oops, I meant to say "insert a view in a node".

As far as I know, the field is added separately from the Body text. That means the Input format won't parse that data.

However, it is likely to work with the Node type setup or [vtag].

So I suggest you try and see how it works.

Thank you.

P.S. In regard to wiping out things, what I have done is use tac_lite to protect the "special" node (the one with the [view:123]) and have my users edit other pages instead. That way, it works a lot better. I had that with a view and another with a Google calendar (much worse, the calendar is really crucial to that website.)
