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.

Jackson had deemed it sufficiently boring in the house that he was willing to curl up next to Lynn's monitor in his usual spot. Lynn reached up and gave him a quick scratch.

"The simplest solution would be to create a block and have it displayed only on the user's page. This much I know how to do with a standard view and the usual block visibility settings. However, if I want to use a single view display and pass the user...
