views

Here we’ll take a look at Views’ powerful templating system and discuss how you can clean up the underlying markup, generate dynamic IDs and classes or even alter the output.

EDIT: Benjamin Doherty (bangpound) and I are now co-presenting and he will discuss his Semantic Views module after.

Hans and I have talked about merging my Semantic Views session into this one. My session would have been very thin if spread out to be 45 minutes, so he wants to expand this to 1 hour and include me.

Views is used by a vast number of Drupal sites, but theming Views to match your site’s theme, to break out of a restrictive module’s look, or to stand out as unique content, can be tricky.

Did you know that "fields" are replacing cck? Time to get up to date. Fields and Views are two of the most common modules we use day-to-day.

If you don’t get CCK and VIEWS then you don’t get Drupal.
In one hour we’re going to set up a simple website that allows user submitted “Cooking Recipes” and offers different ways of showing recipes based on custom VIEWS configurations.

The Views module is at the heart of any modern Drupal site. But are you really using it to its full extent?

In this session we will look at how Views is put together conceptually and how to leverage it to build particularly complex displays. Some experience with Views is recommended, but the goal is to turn casual Views button-pushers into Views site-building ninjas.

• OMG! it's Views on STEROIDS!?!? And once its explained to you... it makes sense!!!
• Wonder if Views Bonus Pack will port to D6
• How and why to embed a view in a page template.

The Views module is the backbone of nearly all non-trivial Drupal sites. Views is essentially a graphical user interface for pulling items out of Drupal's database, allowing the user to make lists of Drupal content according to taxonomy, node type, content type, or nearly any other criterion.

Many people are coming to Drupal from a non-programming background. Views makes customizing Drupal possible for the non-programmer, but you have to understand some of the options that Views presents.
