This is a quick tour of Views-related URLs on your site. Make yourself at home. Feel free to click around and generally become familiar with the Views interface.

1. Administer Views: http://YOURSITE.com/admin/build/views

2. Add a View: http://YOURSITE.com/admin/build/views/add

   (This is where we'll be spending much of our time in this book.)

3. Import a View: http://YOURSITE.com/admin/build/views/import

4. Views Tools: http://YOURSITE.com/admin/build/views/tools

5. Views Help: http://YOURSITE.com/admin/help/views

6. Views UI Help: http://YOURSITE.com/admin/help/views_ui

   (While you are on this page, go ahead and print it. This is an easy page to miss, but quite informative.)

7. Views Permissions: http://YOURSITE.com/admin/user/access#module-views

   (We will interact with this page in Recipe 7.)

8. Enable Views modules: http://YOURSITE.com/admin/build/modules

Recipe notes

• If your site does not have the Clean URLs option Enabled, you will need to add ?q= before the URL parameters in the URL. For instance:

  http://YOURSITE.com/admin/build/views

  becomes:

  http://YOURSITE.com/?q=admin/build/views
