Summary

In this chapter, Lynn built a simple table of properties for sale, displaying the address and asking price, number of bedrooms, square footage, and neighborhood. Jim explained the various terms that Views uses to define a view: View Type, display, display type, and Display Contents, going through each option for these terms and the possible uses. Finally, Lynn built a view of bad links, adding both a page and a block display using another table Display Format for the page and an unformatted list Display Format for the block.

In the next chapter, we'll extend the properties list to have better sorting and filtering, including a multilevel sort, and use exposed filters to let site visitors customize the information being displayed, making the site interactive instead of full of static content.
