Views Bonus Pack

This module is simply a grouping of plugins and default views for Views, making it easier to integrate things that may be useful to many people, but should not necessarily be distributed with Views itself.

Views Bonus Pack 1.0 (for Drupal 4.7 and Drupal 5) includes:

Panels: Teasers, 1 top + 2 columns

Requires panels.module -- will spread a view across a 2 column stacked layout, meaning the first node will appear across the top, and the rest of the nodes will alternate left and right.

Panels: Teasers, 2 columns

Requires panels.module -- like above, but only alternates left/right.

Panels: Teasers, 1 top + 3 columns

Requires panels.module -- like above, but offers 1 across the top, then alternates left, middle, right.

Panels: Teasers, 3 columns

Requires panels.module -- like above, but merely left/middle/right alternating.

Panels: By term, 3 columns

Requires panels.module -- terms presented as tables within columns such as http://sfbay.craigslist.org/.

Bonus: Export

Allows views to be exported as CSV (comma separated values for spreadsheet applications), DOC (word documents), TXT (text files), and soon XML.

Bonus: Grid View

Displays items in a very simple 4 across table; the CSS sets the table to 100%, but this is easily overridden if you like. It is good for picture galleries, as an example.

Displays a taxonomy Summary View as a tag cloud. In other words, and list of nodes can be rendered as a tag cloud, with frequently used tags displayed bigger and bolder than infrequently used tags. Requires tagadelic.module.

Bonus: Summary + full view

Stacks a summary version of a view above a full view or additional summary version of the view to allow them to be viewed at the same time. Clicking on a link on the top summary view changes the result in the bottom of the page based on the selected item. This makes it possible to combine something like an alpha and full term name as follows (where selecting 'B' in the top will change the bottom view to display terms that start with the letter 'B'):

  A (10) | B (33) | C (4) | ...

Use the taxonomy_directory default view as an example or starting point.

Lineage: Nested taxonomy summary

Requires lineage.module. Displays summary views of taxonomy arguments in a nested tree, sorted by hierarchy.

Add Lineage:depth as a field to a view to get the nesting effect
and add Lineage: Taxonomy Hierarchy to sorts to get hierarchical sort.

Use the taxonomy_tree default view as an example or starting point. The default view has 2 arguments. The first displays all terms and allows you to select a branch of the tree to view and passes that
value to the second argument which displays a nested view of only the selected branch.

Create a new view. Set the 'type' to Audio: Playlist. Add a filter so that only 'audio' node types will be in the view. You don't want to use paging with this view.

Most of these just add new View Types to Views -- you can see these by trying to create a new view, going to the 'Page' or 'Block' section and clicking on the View Type dropdown. Some of them add additional default views as well.
