Book Description
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.
What you will learn
Create displays of content that are automatically updated when you add new content
Show maps and rotating image carousels on your site
Combine content to create composite displays using the same data in different ways
Use fields from more than one content type to create powerful views of multi-table data
Modify the field data being displayed,combining it in different ways or changing the HTML that might be normally generated
Add headers and footers above and below a views display
Make the output of your view look exactly like the designer specifies
Change the order in which a list of content is displayed,limit the content shown to only certain content types or values
Filter content using values passed to the view in the URL,making a single view work different ways

主要特征
一个实用的分步指南，具有说明性的例子，让您清楚了解Drupal 8视图
获得市场上唯一关于Drupal 8视图及其对开发人员重要性的书
了解视图的工作原理以及如何帮助创建模块化应用程序
图书说明
了解如何构建复杂的内容显示，无需编程。
超过80％的Drupal 7站点使用了意见;现在他们是Drupal 8核心的一部分。虽然大多数网站建设者和网站所有者都意识到这些观点，但他们并不了解如何充分利用自己的力量来创建许多惊人的页面和块。如果他们使用视图，他们可能会使用不同的过滤器构建10个不同的视图显示，而不必知道上下文过滤器只需要一个显示。
使用我们的样本公司，我们将采用其现有内容，并为该公司开发一个更复杂和更强大的网站，从适应用户看到的管理开始，并转而为站点访问者制作复杂的信息页面。
虽然这本书是针对Drupal 8编写的，但是在Drupal 7和8中的Views之间的相似之处也使得它成为Drupal 7站点构建器的有用参考。
你会学到什么
创建在添加新内容时自动更新的内容的显示
在您的网站上显示地图和旋转图像轮播
组合内容以不同的方式使用相同的数据创建复合显示
使用多个内容类型的字段来创建多表数据的强大视图
修改正在显示的字段数据，以不同方式组合或更改可能正常生成的HTML
在视图显示上方和下方添加页眉和页脚
使您的视图的输出看起来完全像设计器指定
更改显示内容列表的顺序，将显示的内容限制为仅某些内容类型或值
使用传递到URL中的视图的值过滤内容，使单个视图的工作方式不同
