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.

They collected their drinks and sat down. Jim opened his laptop and navigated to the development site, logged in, and went to the Views listing page. "For the first part of what I want to show you, we can use pretty much any view, but let's use your property view. We can either make a duplicate of it or just remember to click on Cancel if we edit the original view, but a copy is always safer." He duplicated the view using the pull-down on the right-hand side of the row the content view was in and kept the default name Duplicate of Available Property Listing to highlight that it is a copy for testing only.
