Posted Tuesday, January 31 at 3:28 pm
  Thomas Turnbull (tom_o_t on drupal.org) and Alan Palazzolo (zzolo on drupal.org) join Mike Anello to talk about their new book from O’Reilly Media, Mapping with Drupal. Mike’s usual co-hosts, Andrew and Ryan, were both unable to participate in the podcast, leaving Thomas and Alan subject to Mike’s long-winded (but extremely interesting by some accounts) questions.

Your Best Friend When Theming Views

Submitted by ultimike on Mon, 05/25/2009 - 11:34

Views 2 for Drupal 6 was quite the upgrade for those of us who were comfortable with the original version. It was pretty much a stellar upgrade in all aspects, but it requires a bit of knowledge and commitment to reach the point where you feel comfortable and confident with it.

In my opinion, one aspect of Views 2 that doesn't get the attention it deserves is the fantastic template-based way that it handles theming. You can theme virtually any aspect of a views result by overriding any number of template file.

The key to unlocking the power of Views theming is the innocent-looking "Theme: Information" link present in the Views UI. This link tells you exactly what .tpl.php files you need to override and provides you with a plethora of options for what you can name the overriding files.
