I want to display the list of articles of taxonomy term and related literate list, can you use view? If yes, can you give me a demo? Thanks a lot!

I want your opinion. I want to convert html theme to drupal such that it is also editable from within drupal. Menu, banner everything should be editable. What should be my approach/strategy? If you have done it before, please share your experience.

[@WebWash]

It's been a while since I've done it from scratch. Normally I use the Bootstrap theme. It comes down to understanding Drupal's theme system and knowing which template to override. Take a look at: www.drupal.org/docs/theming-drupal

Thank you, Ivan! I very much enjoyed this. Do you have other tutorials that go deeper into working with Views?

[@WebWash]

I have a tutorial series on Views, just go to www.webwash.net/getting-started-with-views-in-drupal/ and you should see the "Drupal Views Series". It lists out 6 tutorials. I'm also in the process of developing a premium video course on Views.

Buddy it's great to have you for drupal solutions, can you make a video on how to set date filter on a view ( from date - to date)

[@subhasishnath3078]

Great tutorial

[@shyamgupta5519]

Can you tell how we can apply theme on table created using view

[@WebWash]

You can't "apply a theme" to a table. You need to style it through your main front-end theme.

Thank you for your videos, Views is a very useful part of Drupal websites :)

[@ericswanson2234]

Can you make a video on how to put multiple view configurations in one block?

[@WebWash]

Sorry, I don't really understand your question. A block in views can only have one set of fields, filters and sorts.

[@ericswanson2234]

@@WebWash Well what if I want to show the title and 150 chars of the body for 3 pieces of content of one content type, along with the title of the content type, and the same for 1 of each of another type, one after another so that the content wraps around multiple grid columns, for example. Would you need to make separate views for each content type? How to put multiple views in the same block so they wrap columns?

[@WebWash]

@@ericswanson2234 The short answer is, I have no idea because I don't know how you've built and architected your content. Views is great for displaying content that can be filtered or sorted easily. Anything other than that and you're better off writing code. In the past, I have created multiple blocks using views and then display the blocks inside of regions.

Hi, can 'Views' be used to input data?

[@WebWash]

No. It's used to query and display content.

[@kevin_kk]

@@WebWash do you know of any module that I can use to input data in an 'Excel' like manner? Thanks in advance!

[@WebWash]

​@@kevin_kk Oh, I understand. No I'm not aware of any module that does that.

[@kevin_kk]

@@WebWash Okay, thank you.
