Views

Maintainers: aaron (Aaron Winborn) and Alex UA (Alex Urevick-Ackelsberg)

This extensible module will create fields for content types that can be used to display video, image, and audio files from various third party providers. When entering the content, the user will simply paste the URL or embed code from the third party, and the module will automatically determine which content provider is being used. When displaying the content, the proper embedding format will be used.

Node Cloud reuses the popular "tag cloud" idea, but allows one to use nodes as the items in the cloud, instead of terms or tags. Node Cloud is a view plugin that presents the data returned from the view as a cloud of text, with the importance of each node indicated by the size of the text.

Node Cloud is fairly easy to use. To create a node cloud, go to your views administration pages, choose a view, and select "Node Cloud" in the drop down list of views plugins for either the page or block view. Choose two ordering criteria. Node cloud will do the rest.

The Project Management Portal is a project with the specific intent of making an open source solution to corporate project management needs. Currently there is no working code, however development is underway.

Details will be provided as they become available.

I ultimately intend on following through with code for this, but in the mean time:

Views Slideshow can be used to create a slideshow of any content (not just images) that can appear in a View. Powered by jQuery, it is heavily customizable: you may choose slideshow settings for each View you create.

This module augments Views by allowing bulk operations to be executed on the displayed rows. It does so by showing a checkbox in front of each node, and adding a select box containing operations that can be applied. Drupal Core or Rules actions can be used.

7.x-3.x requires Entity API.

This module allows developers and themers to make use of the jCarousel jQuery plugin. It includes a developer API that other modules can use, as well as Views integration so that you can turn any list of content or images into a carousel.

Note: This module is current in an alpha stage and hasn't been tested enough for a production environment.

Dynamic views gives you the benefits of Views coupled with AHAH goodness. This module gives you the capability to dynamically update the content of your views using blocks, pagers, or filters — without a page reload. There are a few use-cases made possible by using this module:

This module allows fields to be edited on a node's display (e.g. at node/123), not just on the node edit pages (e.g. node/123/edit). It also works within views, etc. Anywhere a 'formatter' can be selected, you can select editable (or click to edit).

Enables the presentation of views through tabs.

Requires Views and the Tabs module, which in Drupal 5 is part of Javascript Tools and a separate project for Drupal 6+.

Adds three new View Type options to page and block views. All three display each node (piece of content) on a separate tab.

Allows you to create a view that is the union of multiple "sub-views".

For example, you could make a view that gets all the events within a certain date range, plus all the sticky events, regardless of whether they are in the date range.

Also, you can optionally set it to grab only a certain number of results from each sub-view. You can also have it grab zero results from a sub-view if exposed filters are used.
