Hello there,

it's a cool module because it makes super easy way to make sub-pages or related pages as tabs. i have making tabs pages that contains fields or views via panels 3 module for drupal 7. But your way is incredibly fast and easy for non-techie person. But one thing i realize when selective views having contextual filter as data source when making sub pages. it just not work there should be a support for passing argument to views in form of tokens as token module will be handy for this.

I that way it becomes totally awesome. What do you think? Please reply.

Good idea!

Right now, you can use a contextual filter for the nid, and set it to use a default value of the nid from the URL. This addresses many use cases, but I like your idea of providing tokens to pass values from the node to the view.

Hi,
i found this module, and now i want to test it, because i think its a really good solution...
What do you think about this way:
- creating contenttyp + creating some viewmodes like subpage1, subpage 2, subpage 3 (how many you need...)
- creating views for subpage1, subpage2 (how many you need...), with contextual fiters to use with nid from url
- creating the subpages in your contenttyp and use the different subpage-views for filling them
- now you can fill all viewmodes with the fields you want, can use displaysuit for styling of each viewmode...

What do think about?

Hi,
I don't understand why someone want to display multiple views of same page as the same path.

er_gaurav_sharma: I think ausnahmezustand means that the different view modes could be displayed at different sub-paths.

I think this is a great idea. Adding the token support requested in this issue would allow you to accomplish this goal the way you described, by using a view, but I think that the better solution is to add native support for node view modes as data sources for the subpages.

To that end, I just created #1429368: Content plugin: node view modes since that's a completely separate block of work to be done, so we'll track the conversation there. ausnahmezustand, please read that issue over and make sure I got what you were asking for, and follow the issue so that you get updates about progress made on it.

Great... and thanks for your response!!
I think it´s an easy way with the view-modes in node. All stylings can do by using a core-function, with a option for theming each subpage by displaysuit or anything else... easy config of different layouts for every subpath-page by changing the displaysuit-layout for a view-mode.
In my case, i want use custom-displaysuit-layouts for the node and the subpages like #1=header/1-col/footer and #2=header/2-col-stacked/footer.
But i think there are many ways more for theming subpages on this way... i think about fieldgroups with tabs as example.

I read the support issue, and follow it. Native support for the node view modes is really the fines solution. I think, your module is one of the best new solutions for drupal 7. When you need someone for testing, or anything, please contact me!!

Hi,
It's great idea for integration with display suit view modes, why not take it one step forward by just entering a url in subpages make a subpage or tab.
