Creating Dynamic Drupal Websites Using Views & Content Types

davidneedham

Views and Content Types are two simple site building tools that gives Drupal a serious competitive advantage. Using these tools, and a simple formula we can create complex data structures and powerful dynamic elements on our website. It's a wonder we're able to do this all from Drupal's UI!

In this session we're going to discuss some common (and not so common) uses of these modules, including:

  • a slideshow
  • a calendar
  • a staff page made up of users on the site
  • a list of content by the author
