Drupal 7 Views Module Tutorial 1 of 10: Getting Started with Views

[@yaworsk1]

Hey Pierre, thanks for the comment and appreciate the heads up. I actually took a week's vacation and sure enough, my website went down a couple days in. Got it back up and should be working now.... sorry for any inconvenience.

[@alynmurray4946]

Excellent! Thanks for explaining the "why you do such and such" rather than "then click here" method, as so many tutorials seem to do. The Views Module is now so much easier to understand and realize the power of it. Waiting for the next "episode" Thanks so much..

[@rolandkums]

I found this tutorial after just finishing the Ubercart series and I just have to compliment you on your work: these are by far the best tutorials on Drupal 7 I have ever seen! I have never learned so much about Drupal in so little time. Thanks!

[@malcolmwolfe7483]

Great, I like tutorials without too much talk and yours is straight to the point. Do more and Keep it up!

[@niamatullahbakhshi9371]

I couldn't understand even the concept in the class but You made me understood everything so far . thanks a lot ;)

[@sunlitweb]

I already like your tutorial because you talk fast. Which means the tutorials won't take so long. Thanks for the tutorials.

[@yaworsk1]

Hey Bryden, thanks for the comment - definitely my pleasure, it's great to hear when they are helping people out.

[@matthiggins7752]

Hi I love it when you say 'take Views to next level. at about 2:30. I watched this video about a month ago but had to come back and make a note of your excellent tips:- Within SETTINGS > To tick Show filters on the list of views LIVE PREVIEW SETTINGS > Show the SQL query and Show performance statistics Then to optionally SETTINGS > Advanced tab tick Enable view performance statistics / debug messages via the Devel module Kind Regards Matt

[@Skanton22]

Nevermind, it seems I was able to figure it out. Thank you again for your efforts in propagating educational knowledge on the internet!

[@yaworsk1]

Hey Roland, thanks for the comment, I really appreciate it. Great to hear the tutorials have helped!

[@yaworsk1]

Thanks for the feedback, I really appreciate. Glad to hear the pace has worked for you and welcome to the Drupal community! As for the dog pictures, what I did was create a content type (YOUR SITE/admin/structure/types/add) and from there, added a field for my dog image of type image with an image widget. Then i just went to add content, choose that content type and uploaded a photo. Repeated the add content process 5 or 10 times to create a bunch of pictures... let me know if that helps.

[@hobbyhuman]

This is amazing. I just got hired as a student web developer for an 8 month work-op. This really helped me get up to speed quick (I have never touched Drupal before).

[@yaworsk1]

Nice! Congrats on the job and welcome to Drupal

[@svenivan7]

Peter, I have seen 3 of this serie and they are great. I been with Drupal about 7 months and so far have 3 websites up running. But I must say that I learned a lot today and I am looking forward to the next 7 episodes. Cannot take in more for the moment. Thanks a lot!

[@yaworsk1]

Glad you like the tutorials! I find when I watch tutorials, I always want the person to talk a little faster and get to the point so I try and do that in all my videos...

[@BrydenArndt]

Your tutorials are very helpful.. thank you for taking the time to put these together.

[@reginawilkinson6817]

Just getting into drupal Starring views in class Your video is very helpful Thanks

[@dannybear7806]

Very Helpful to get to a start in the Administration Configuration!! Awesome! 1 week of KZbin videos, and this Video is a TOP!!! He explains alot of helpful for "second" time users!!!

[@yaworsk1]

Hey Daniele, thanks for the feedback! Really appreciate the positive comment! All the best.

[@clifffreeman1262]

I've watched the first 5 of the Views videos so far, outstanding! I was looking for a good book on views and couldn't find one, and stumbled on your videos by accident. Recommended these to my fellow noobs in my local DUG.

[@superman55566]

This is so helpful. Thank you for taking the time to document views for us noobs!

[@a1webguy]

Pete, Great start on views, also your video quality is better than dome previous videos

[@DekeRadio]

Thank you so much for this. This tutorial, step by step, is exactly what I needed to launch my learning this part of Drupal.

[@johnnydo333]

Wow, great tutorial. As a software developer I love that you explain a bit on how the views work while keeping focus on how to use them.

[@johnsvensson9538]

This is good STUFF. I love the speed, it's keeps you focused and, really - I really do appreciate it. Slow pace tutorials makes you fall asleep or even bored. Hoping that the following tutorials will keep up the same great as this start. THANK YOU.

[@yaworsk1]

+John Svensson Thanks for the feedback John. I feel the same way and that's why I try to move quickly. Trying to balance moving quickly with talking fast though.

[@johnsvensson9538]

Any plans on doing a series about Panels?

[@hobbyhuman]

I hate it so much when tutorials are slow. If I need to slow down I can pause and rewind it! You rock buddy!!!!

[@yaworsk1]

Aubrey Robertson me too!! :) Glad you liked them.

[@JohnnyBG112]

This is the first of your tutorials that I found/viewed, and ... BOOKMARKED ! Almost perfect. Perfect because of the depth and insight given with the explanation (detail-top view approach .. the same I used to use). Almost because ... well, a remark I recently got, and which I recognised, English being a foreign language for me: The speed of talk. After 2.30: Perfect. Before that, just a little to fast for me (ok, a tyresome 24 hours behind me, too, but it was relatively new, and I needed an axtra moment to let it sink in). My advice: (no, not speech) TEACH. The way you explain, is PERFECT Thank you very much for your effort.

[@yaworsk1]

JohnnyBG112 Thanks for the feedback!! Definitely trying to improve the speech in my new tutorials, pretty common feedback. Didn't realize how much these videos could help globally.

[@aprit5487]

If you bit slow down and provided info on data type you using will be much better, otherwise you trick people into buying your tutorials which without this basic info are pretty much worthless, sort of scam, you you talking fast to hide that you do not know what are you talking about.

[@paramnida1]

Thanks for your videos! Your tutorials are some of the best I've seen.

[@thatswhatwedohere]

Thanks - I found your videos at the perfect time. Been playing around with Drupal for the last couple of weeks and was trying to work out how the whole database query thing was implemented.

[@pranpsp]

Thanks Yaworsk. Thanks for your fast reply. I will go through your videos as per your suggestion.

[@mangioneart]

I, too, am a fan of your work AND your delivery. (I'm from New York City, and a native English speaker, so your pace works just right for me. ;-) I was really excited to learn, from this video, that I could have those drop-down administrative menu options that your demo reveals. However, when I installed those administrative menus and disabled "Overlay" and "Toolbar" in the Modules section, the cool administrative menu shows up, and then a screen or two later, disappears. Do you know why?

[@clifffreeman1262]

Another nice tutorial series, thumbs up!

[@tov174]

Thanks for the tutorials :) I'm looking forward to the rest!

[@cauktxil]

I've watched 8 of the 10 videos in this series and have learned a great deal. Thank you so much. I also like the fast pace. Sometimes I have to stop and listen to something more than once and that's ok with me. I have been active in Drupal for only a week and have accomplished quite a bit... I can't seem to find anywhere (my dumb luck) where you describe how or where you uploaded all the dog pictures....what it an unpublished blog? I'm sure you must have said it somewhere....Please explain.

[@yaworsk1]

Hey Cliff, that's awesome and great to hear. Thanks for spreading the word!

[@rabidappleinc]

Great first tutorial, looking forward to this series! One thing though. you said that the Media module (that you said is altering the image style) is out of the scope of this series, would it be possible to do a follow up on this module as it related to views? Also, how did you go about adding all of your pictures? I'm looking for a bulk upload module that will add the files to a library type directory.. Any clues? Cheers mate!

[@jayshiz]

Great video man, fast and concise :) thanks

[@BryantSharp]

Thanx Nic. I found it the other day by searching until I found it. it took a while, but I was determined.

[@yaworsk1]

Hi Pranav, if you watch the first few videos in this series, you should have all that you need to accomplish that...

[@clareivers]

Thanks, great tutorial! Love the speed and tips about showing SQL and caching :)

[@per-net9911]

Nice screencasts. Would love to check your website, but it looks like it's not available or offline.

[@kiparissi]

Thanks for your great tutorials!

[@BryantSharp]

Nic...Thanx...How long have you been working with Drupal? I'm still new to it so I have a alot of questions. Currently dealing with issues regarding pictures and placement.

[@55huppys]

Can you please post the link or name of the image style module you are using in this tutorial? I'd like to set the displayed images as thumbnails as well.

[@0xHiryuu]

How did you created "dog" option in your select list "of type"?

[@yaworsk1]

its the image module which is part of drupal core. check out drupal DOT org /documentation/modules/image

[@Equalizer-ZA]

Hey Peter Robbie here bud. You mentioned in one of your videos about views something about Ubercart series 2. Is that still in the pipeline or am i missing it somewhere ? Keep up the good work bro. One more question bud ..... any comments on the new kickstart commerce v2 that was just released.? regards Robbie McColl

[@joalcor2061]

thank you for the tutorials, I'm following along. very helpful

[@nicholasbabu9992]

Rily impressive turorials, Thats Pete

[@markomarko12345]

Hey, thanks for this!!! I was using Drupal 7 book which was good up until Views Chapter and then it shown completely different looking Views interface compared to what I've got on my computer. If it weren't for this and web comments I'd spend more time looking for error. Seems like book author used Drupal 6 version for Views or something older.

[@BryantSharp]

wasnt able to find the admin module...do you have a link that will lead me to it?

[@czomber11]

Can You tell me how did You do it or where can I find it ?

[@motonanga12]

can you post the link for the Admin module you are using?

[@Skanton22]

To reiterate what everyone is saying, thank you your tutorials, they are wonderful! However, I am having trouble replicating your results and was wondering if you could provide quick clarification on an issue. When I tried creating my own content type (by adding an 'image' field) it did not replicate your final results. How did you create the content type 'Dog Pictures'?

[@yourdonjou]

Thanks man. The tutorial is super helpful!!

[@valrabollet6917]

Hi thanks for all the details, that s great material for learning ! I have a question as I'm a newbee in Drupal 8 ... I was able to create a content type (with a picture) , create some content and then I ve created a grid-based view but the result is displayed as a table (all content in 1 column) instead of displaying content in a grid. Any idea how to fix this? Thanks very much anyway !

[@MOSA94ABUZAID]

really thanks for this tutorial , but i have question please : the field ( Dog ) how to build it and can have two option selecter of dogs ?!! thanks

[@yaworsk1]

+Mosa Abuzaid Sorry for my late reply - did you get it figured out?

[@MOSA94ABUZAID]

+Web Development Tutorials no problem man , thank you again for your tutorial i think i know how .. by add vocabulary with name ( dog ) ya ?

[@yaworsk1]

+Mosa Abuzaid yup

[@pranpsp]

Hi, Can you show me how to create "User Search" using views? I had made it in Drupal 6 using Views filters. But i am not able to make it in Drupal 7 views. I want to give "search user" option on drupal website. Can you help me for this?

[@aprit5487]

can you tell please what is the type of Dog field

[@tepelena]

Excellent video. Thank you for putting this video together. It helped a lot.

[@yaworsk1]

Awesome to hear! My pleasure

[@tepelena]

Can you use views to pull several content types into one page. For example, if you have a Video Game and you want to display all content types associated with each game. X game has content type: Tips, Reviews, Photos, Video content type. Can I use views to show all related info in one page?

[@yaworsk1]

R. Hila yup. You'd need something that relates all those content types together regarding the video game but it can be done with relationships.

[@wuyanchu]

very nice tutorial.. thx and god bless you yaworsk and the world.. a sincere blessing from hong kong.. ^___^

[@TheHumex12]

Great Tutorials , thank you so much

[@SunilKumar-by8md]

We have existing drupal 7 website. I have used commerce module for shopping cart. Everything working fine. We have created view for order of commerce order.Every field show in view but when we add coupon field then coupon not show.

[@hz9353]

[@informationfeps1322]

[@immanuelkagua9904]

great video on views.

[@yaworsk1]

check out the CDN module drupal DOT org/project/cdn -- i actually haven't used it myself but I think it'll do what you're looking for.

[@humanresources7984]

Very helpful, thank you.

[@mitaleeghosh4824]

plz give me the solution I have a view page and title is like Rupp für Rudy bei der TSG? and its use for custom URL when i click the link the detail does not appear and url is showing like Rupp%20für%20Rudy%20bei%20der%20TSG?%2F2669561=

[@FiifiAppiah]

The admin module is actually at drupal.org/project/admin_menu

[@nazzarnews]

Thanks, Master Shifu !

[@skirankumar90]

Where do i download views?

[@yaworsk1]

Great to hear - I definitely know and can relate to that feeling!

[@BoykoDev]

For the first few seconds I thought my player speed is on 1.5 ))) Great tutorial though, thanks!

[@kohutiv]

Дякую! from Ukraine!

[@gavquinny]

[@SajithJohnSam]

Thankyou for the effort :)

[@stevo728822]

Really good video.

[@jharavu]

Great tutorial, but please go a little slower than this one. I intend buying the whole series, so I can play it over and over again. Thanks again.

[@yaworsk1]

Jayaram Haravu Sorry about the speed! Something I'm working on going forward and appreciate any and all support!

[@jharavu]

Thanks a lot. We do appreciate your tutorials. I view each of them more than once. Jayaram Haravu

[@immagimario]

Thanks for your help

[@sivakodali9070]

Nice one

[@MoiseDiarra]

Your courses are excellent. I need help, I create a job site, how did what I should procedé for job offers that arrived at the warehouse deadline folders automatically disappears from my page. //Francais Vos cours sont excelent. j'ai besoin d'aide,je créée un site d'emploi,comment es ce que je dois procedé pour que les offres d'emplois qui sont arrivés a la date limite de depots des dossiers disparait automatique de ma page.

[@yaworsk1]

+Moise Diarra Hi Moise, I'm not entirely sure I understand the issue... and wish my french was better

[@xiongxin8802]

[@okeyxyz]

Great video. Love you man(No homo)

[@Hernantolio]

Thanks :D

[@yaworsk1]

No problem - drupal.org/project/admin_menu

[@yaworsk1]

欢迎你

[@fatemahaider2410]

When you all watch this, imagine it being said by kermit the frog...

[@yousofjamal4371]

you didn't explain how and what type of "dog images" contents were created. Suddenly we see photos of dog appear. You should have started with plain no contents and then continue.

[@aprit5487]

ditto, and why all people all of the sudden admire of the tutorial, you could not go on without knowledge of underlying data, it means nobody really used these tutorials, and author did not answer on this comment

[@nonchablunt]

startssl (.) com you ****ed the link. unless you intended to let your visitors see a security warning first. remove that bloody "s" if it's not setup ^^

[@nonchablunt]

if he talked any slower, no one would have the patience to follow it. you can tell youtube to play it at half speed! that might help you. or simply look for intermediate english courses on here ;)

[@Soemoekyawmm]

I don't understand because you talk very fast

[@HobbygirlDolls]

Is it me, or does he talk too fast and blur his words?

[@aprit5487]

not only you

[@guzzelmo]

you talk too fast :( This can't help me

[@Strongdocoteur]

Top notch video, the worst intro I've ever seen.

[@yaworsk1]

Strongdocoteur If only it was possible to ban people from free video tutorials online....

[@moiseat]

Strongdocoteur didn't your parents taught you to say thank you? specially when you get it for free...

[@wromania7585]

Thanks,,you helped me lot,,many thanks
