In this episode we cover an overview of the Drupal 7 Views module. The Drupal Views module is probably the most popular Drupal module and is installed on almost every Drupal 7 website I build. It’s so popular in fact that it’s included in Drupal 8 by default. The Views module allows you to easily build and format lists of content on your Drupal 7 site. If you need to build a simple list of Nodes, Views can do that. If you need to build a table listing, Views can do that too. In this video, we will go through an introduction and overview of Views, as well as a few example views. You will learn about the different types of content you can display with Views, different display settings, and other Views options. This video is built to be an introduction for beginners and newcomers to Drupal to teach the basics of the Drupal 7 Views module. In this video you will create two views. The first will be a page view that displays a list of articles on your Drupal website. The second will be a block view that shows the titles of the last three articles on your Drupal website. Using the skills you learn in this video, you will be ready to tackle more complicated problems that can be solved with views. Now go out and build yourself some views!
