Summary

In this chapter we resolved a body field quirk using a relatively new module to copy the body field to a CCK text field. We looked at formatters, which provide module-specific options for displaying fields in both CCK and Views (Appendix B contains a lengthy list of formatters available by module). We cloned a view as a starting point for a new view, in this case, to create a blogroll. We also looked at a variety of ways to associate views with related content including viewfield, node reference, and building views from within a template. In the last recipe, we developed a data visualization view offering a foundation for additional creative approaches both to calculated fields and Flash fonts.
