Theming Views In Drupal 6.x

Who remembers good ol' Views 1.x in Drupal 5.x? Lovely, wasn't it? With that theming wizard. Giving you all the phptemplate functions you needed for fine-grained theming, ready to paste in to template.php in your theme and fiddle with until everything looks perfect.

Views Dependencies

I found an interesting "gotcha" the other day. I created a View with the Views module, exported it to code and was in the process of trying to make it appear on my website. Something it was resolutely refusing to do. I couldn't understand it. Clearly there was the View in my code. I'd cleared caches, run the update, uninstalled and reinstalled my module, even restarted Apache. Nothing!

Then I noticed this line:

<?php
  $view
->requires = array(node, node_data_field_media_embedded_video, image, node_data_field_mp3);
?>

Final Version of Views for 5.x Has Taxonomy Issues

The other day I decided to use the "Terms in XXXXX" taxonomy filter type in Views 5.x-1.6 and I noticed a little bit of a problem. In my list of taxonomy terms, the first/lightest term was missing so I couldn't select it. This was the same when the filter was exposed. Since I was using it on WhatTalent.com to allow people to select a community to view media from, it was a real problem!
