I have worked with CCK and Views – this is great combination for sure, but have some problems with Views. Here it is: I installed Views module and activate 2 Views’ components: Views and Views UI. Then I tried your views-example (part2) and its work. Some I have got a problem, when I linked to some posts I get an empty (blenk) page with correct URL in address bar. I can’t enable Views-module in admin->modules page thanks for this problem and I have to delete it from module folder, manualy, and it help, all become normal. When I put Views to the module folder again my problem occur too, so it’s stable. Somebody can help me with that…? Please!

Okay, maybe I was having a hissy fit… and perhaps CCK and Views will naturally be merged into the core Drupal install in the future, because that would seem to make sense. BTW, thanks for writing up CCK/Views in an easy to understand way!

lol I can sort of see your point Pete though obviously CCK and views are addons that provide extra functionality and as part of the CCK is integrated into Drupal 5 it now works much more out of the box, however Joomla and other blondie CMS’s have nothing that can compare with Drupal flexibility when you use CCK and views together. So yes to get this amount of freedom and flexibility you need two to three extra modules, but other CMS dont have anything to compete, and if you think the tweaking on Drupal bad, try the big boys fav Plone!

Is this the most bone-headed way ever of providing this functionality? If I want to add it to my Drupal site, then I have to download not one, but THREE extra modules, and then spend an age twiddling and messing with settings within the Admin pages. Considering the amount of confusion that this generates, I see why Drupal is generally regarded as the red-headed stepchild of CMS’s.

don’t worry about the above. I made a mistake with the view. I forgot to specify the content type! It works like a treat now

I get the following error when adding the view: * warning: mysql_real_escape_string() expects parameter 1 to be string, array given in /home/photogra/public_html/includes/database.mysql.inc on line 400. * warning: mysql_real_escape_string() expects parameter 1 to be string, array given in /home/photogra/public_html/includes/database.mysql.inc on line 400. The view does save though. But then when I enable the block, it does not appear and the following error appears on every page of the site. The only way to get rid of the error is to delete the view. user warning: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ”’) ORDER BY node_created_created DESC LIMIT 0, 1′ at line 1 query: SELECT node.nid, node.created AS node_created_created FROM node node WHERE (node.type OR ”) AND (. ”) ORDER BY node_created_created DESC LIMIT 0, 1 in /home/photogra/public_html/includes/database.mysql.inc on line 172.
