Overview of this book

Learn how to build complex displays of content—all without programming. Views were used on more than 80% of all Drupal 7 sites; now they are part of the Drupal 8 core. While most site builders and site owners are aware of views, they don't understand how to take full advantage of their power to create many amazing pages and blocks. If they use 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.

"You're welcome. I see that you have been working on the Property Listing page View. Any questions so far?"

"Good timing. I was just wondering how to build a View to show unpublished properties or open houses so that Amanda and I can quickly review them and get them published. I was thinking of basing the View off the general Drupal content...
