Views

If view Row style isn't visible, change the style to one that allows both

When editing a view, the Row style option may not be available. Change the Style to one that is available to all (both) row styles, such as Unformatted, and you will be able to change from Row style Fields to Row style Node.

The row type of node is not available when the grid style is in use, for instance.

Adding a Node Build Mode

Q: if you need to add a dead simple view mode to theme a node template differently, basically give Views in addition to "full node", "teaser", a "bastard step-child" option, quick custom code or is a module?
http://drupal.org/project/buildmodes ?

A, by Fox: just do the hook. the hook is simple as hell

Q: and Views sees it automatically?

Inline Read More links for teasers when output as one of several fields in a View with a row style of field

I did this with a crazy use of calling ed_readmore functions in template.php for a views template preprocess function. Do not attempt by trial and error, i can get the code from openmedia's repository.

Views display naming practices: don't rename the Default display

[note] The Default display is always the Default display. Changing its name will just confuse ourselves and others, and should not be done. [/note]

And in Views 3, we cannot change the name of the Default display anymore.

If this software keeps getting better and more intuitive, how am i supposed to <a http://definitivedrupal.org/node/95">write about how to use it?
