Re-ordering Views Attachment Displays

If you have a Drupal 7 view with more than one attachment display, it is not super-obvious how you can reorder the displays. When you create a new attachment display, you can choose the display to attach the attachment display to as well as the position ("before", "after", or "both").

But what if you need to attach two attachment displays "before" another display - how can you control the order of the two attachment displays.

it's actually quite easy once you know how - in the view's "edit view name/description", there is a "reorder displays" option. Click it and behold!

Book Review: Drupal 7 Views Cookbook

As the explosive growth of Drupal continues, so does the eco-system of vendors and products around it. Included is the plethora of Drupal books that continues at a somewhat unbelievable pace. It seems that there are at least two to three new releases each month.

I was very proud to participate in the official DrupalCon Pre-Conference Training again this year. I decided to repeat my Intro to Drupal Theming class, especially since drupal 7 was such new territory. Our class size was limited to 20 students, which sold out in advance of the conference.

All my files disappear when I move from localhost to production - Drupal 7

Every Drupal site I build involves at minimum two environments: one is on my laptop, which I call the local server; another is what most people call the production server. Drupal has a very straightforward way of allowing you the developer to use a single code base to run both environments, even though they are on different machines, in different corners of the world, with different passwords, etc.

Screenshots: Drupal 7 So Far

At the most recent Florida Drupal User's Group meetup, I gave a quick rundown of some of the new stuff that has made it into Drupal 7 core. It was by no means an in-depth look, it was mainly designed to give people a quick update on what they have to look forward to in the next version of Drupal.
