They seem complicated, but in truth: Views are simply lists of content.

!What content is listed where, and in what order, and how it

looks are the settings you control when building Views.


What can Views do?• Replace the front page with your own displays • Replace the taxonomy displays with something nicer • List of users for a community-style site • Lists of specific content and exposed sorting • Special RSS feeds / displays • Restricted Views for site managers

• Workbench • Views Bulk Operations • Admin Views

• And much, much more…


Working with Views

• Views • Views UI (comes with Views) • Draggable Views • Accordion View • Views Slideshow (+ Flexslider) • Views Bulk Operations • Administration Views • Calendar (+ Date)

Modules
