  • Migration path from 6 to 7
  • Moving forward

Module of the week

  • Views field view https://www.drupal.org/project/views_field_view

This module allows you to embed a view as a field in a view. A new field handler is made available, so this can also be used in area (header/footer/empty) handlers as well as rows.

This view handler can accept arguments from fields of the parent view using tokens and pass them into the child view for each row. Raw or rendered token values can be used, as well as static values.
