Group 7.x-1.x

The Group module for Drupal 7 is based around the Entity API. Individual groups have a "Group Type" in the module, which is an Entity. Since it's an Entity, it has fields.

It also has specific permissions and roles, which apply to any Group of this Group type.

Topic and description

Learn how to build complex displays of content—all without programming.

Views was used on more than 80% of all Drupal 7 sites; now it is part of the Drupal 8 core. While many site builders and site owners are aware of Views, they don't understand how to take full advantage of its power to create many amazing pages and blocks. If they are using Views, they might build 10 different view displays with different filters, without knowing that a contextual filter would require only a single display.

Using our sample company, we'll take its existing content and evolve an ever more complex and powerful website for that company, starting with adapting the administration the user sees and moving on to making complex pages of information for site visitors.

While the book is written for Drupal 8, the similarities between Views in Drupal 7 and 8 make this a useful reference for Drupal 7 site builders also.

What you will learn

  • Create displays of content that are automatically updated when you add new content
  • Show maps and rotating image carousels on your site
  • Combine content to create composite displays using the same data in different ways
  • Use fields from more than one content type to create powerful views of multi-table data
  • Modify the field data being displayed, combining it in different ways or changing the HTML that might be normally generated
  • Add headers and footers above and below a views display
  • Make the output of your view look exactly as the designer specifies
  • Change the order in which a list of content is displayed, and limit the content shown to certain content types or values
  • Filter content using values passed to the view in the URL, making a single view work in different ways

Views Integration

The Push Notifications module integrates with the Views module.

Default View: Token List

The module provides a default view that shows a list of all tokens registered on the site in a table format. The view allows users to filter by device type and exposes a username search box. To get the tokens list into the admin interface (/admin/config/services/push_notifications/tokens), follow these steps:
