Flag Vista

Flag Vista is an alternative Views support for the Flag module. It was written because of some shortcomings in Flag's official Views support. But you are sure to like Flag Vista even if your needs are very humble.

It's recommended that you start with this short guide to using Flag Vista. If you're familiar with Flag's own Views support you may want to read what's so good about Flag Vista? to learn how it's different.

Enabling the module

To prevent confusion, Flag Vista automatically hides Flag's built-in Views support when it's enabled. Your old Flag views continue to work, and you'll still be able to edit them. It's just that when you create a new view you'll see only Flag Vista's fields / filters / relationships in the administrative UI. Don't try to mix the two: if you have an existing Flag view, don't add Flag Vista features to it; start a new view instead.
