OtherView Filter

The filter provided by this module exclude nodes (or another content) from a view, by excluding the results of one view from another one. This allows you to filter a view results by another view.

Frequently two views, or two displays of one view, occur on the page together. One common example is a listing of content with a few curated items selected via more specific criteria. It's simple enough to create two displays and show the curated one above the general listing. This presents a problem: content that appears in the curated list needs to somehow be excluded from the general listing.

Basic usage

1. Install the module under sites/all/modules/contrib or sites/all/modules
2. Enable the module
3. In the view from which you wish exclude items, add filter "Other view result"
4. In filter settings choose "view & display" whose output you want to exclude from the current view
5. Save the view.

Hint

To minimize the cost to performance of running multiple views queries, the number of instances of this filter on the same display should be kept to a minimum and caching should be employed liberally. Views Content cache and Cache Actions are helpful for this.

Using more than 1 view for filtering will strongly decrease your site performance. To minimize performance decreasing use simple and cached views.
