Getting started with Views

A quick guide by Fleur Helsingor

In technical terms, Drupal Views make it possible to:

  • Use multiple Node Content items on a page or in a block where you can control the selection.
  • Use queries to create dynamic content to changes as new Node Content is added to the Drupal site, without requiring a detailed knowledge MySQL.
  • Create a block that contains changing but targeted content.

In other words, you can use Views to create dynamic web pages such as a calendar of events, a list of tutorials and guides, or a targeted list of article databases, without having to add, update, or remove content by hand!
