I have created a views that showing various nodes in a ul list .. and for each node shows some field, such as a picture and the title of the node.
Now with a mouseover event I want to show other field of the same nodes in a small pop-up .. what is the best way to do this?
Is there something that the views module provides for doing so?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
I was unable to find a specfic module for your use case
but there are 3 ways you can do this
Create a PHP field in your view and code it in any way you want. For this you must enable a module called Views PHP.
Write a jQuery file (for OnHover functionality) and add it to your view using drupal_add_js()
in the header section (you can add a header to the view) of the view.
Write your own theme file. The theming info is provided in views->advanced->others->theme
You can do it with Popup Views integration. See the Demo in action.
It provides a Views global field that can reuse the other Views
fields. It will be output a link that will trigger a popup.

Currently, I have a dynamically created custom pie chart located at mywebsite.com/customchart that is created through a module I made using Highcharts.
I have view, that is listed in the views module shown in mywebsite.com/admin/structure/views/view/ which I would like to embed the custom chart into but I cannot find it through Add Header>Global: View area.
How exactly would one be able to achieve this? Programatically? How?
You can do it programmatically.
First you have to find out what template file is used for rendering the header. Easiest way: go editing your view, select proper display and then unfold "Advanced" options block on the right column and click "Theme: information". Here you can see what templates files are used (assuming you are using Drupal 7). The used ones are in bold. You can collect actual template code there so you don't have to find template file at all if you want to override it. And you can see file naming suggestions, so there you have everything you need to override template file.
If your theme is not overriding standard templates then you should do that - it's not good idea to change directly templates provided by Views module.
So, the first part would be finding out where would you like to embed the view, at what template and at what position. Second part is using function views_embed_view() for doing that:
https://api.drupal.org/api/views/views.module/function/views_embed_view/7.x-3.x
As you can see there, first parameter is machine name of the view, second of display and then you can pass parameters if your view accepts them. So call that function from proper place and you'll have your view embedded.
Also, there is display type "embed" which you can use for embedding views like this. It will provide those "edit view" links when you hover your view content while logged in as admin...
I have a library page with some taxonomy topics(resource types) that are currently being filtered by some really hacky tabs that I would like to replace to do two things:
1) get new, more user friendly tabs, with the capability to be placed outside of the view yet change content inside the said view.
2) be able to have the tabs grouped together in a way I can manipulate them with css.
I am fairly new to the drupal world. What would you suggest? Thanks!
Do you use exposed filter options?
If so in the advanced tab of the view you have a option 'Exposed form in block' this way your exposed filters will be placed in a seperate block.
After saving the view you have to enable the block
How can I show multi views on single page in Drupal?
I need to show two results, (maybe you can think 2 tables, but actually 2 views) on one page.
Anyone please help me.
You can use the panels module. That will allow you to put views in different types of layout on a page. And take arguments as required.
You can do it by creating a page with your first view. For the second view you have to create a block and add it to that page.
btw: please use https://drupal.stackexchange.com/ for drupal specific questions...
As laebs suggested one way is to create block view and to add it to some region when your page is displayed.
Other way would be embedding the view from template file:
https://api.drupal.org/api/views/views.module/function/views_embed_view/7
With this function you can specify which view and which display you want to embed. You can also pass the parameters this way.
And notice that you have "embed" display type (it may be hidden by default - check view options). If you use it you'll also get those nice "edit view" links when embedding view this way.
There are two ways that I know of without using other modules:
Use the Views Header/Footer area to load another view. Just click "Add" in the Head/Footer area of the Views UI and you should see "Global: View area".
Create a page template and insert the views that you'd like to have on the page within the template using some Drupal API php:
<?php
$view = views_get_view('view_machine_name');
print $view->execute_display('default', $args);
?>
I have created a page view using field style to display a list of teasers as I want. fields configuration in views allows us to link the field to it's node. but what if we have created view for node detail page and want field to link to it's relevant view.
I had the same question, and after a bit of research this is what I've concluded:
The views module isn't intended to replace a default node view. I say this because of the level of difficulty involved in doing this and the lack of information on how to accomplish this. Ryan Weal has posted a way to accomplish this by editing your node template that doesn't look too difficult to accomplish, and here is the link.
However, it seems that a more popular solution, especially if you are like me and don't like to get into editing theme files. You can use the Display Suite module to effectively reformat the default node content as you would like.
I'm not sure if I understand you properly, but it sounds like you are wanting to display a view in a page view of a node?
In order to do this, you could:
create a small module, using hook_nodeapi() or one of the D7 replacements for this function in order to insert the output of the embedded view into this page's content, by conditionally adding a $content element when the node is of the appropriate id
or (easier, but requires allowing input type PHP) embed the view right on the page.

I've encountered a Drupal problem: I'm using the Views module for rendering nodes of a kind, based on the user id of it's author (it is a Content Profile actually). I want the view to show the comments for the node, just like in node/%. I could not find any option in views or any relevant module. Am I in the wrong direction and should reorganize stuff for this...?
Any ideas, how can it be done?

Using views is really not the best plan of action. You should instead create a node template in your theme and customize it. If needed you can put some logic in a preprocess function. It requires more coding but will get you where you want.
If you use view node display type
Check in it's settings show comments
if you use view fields display type
Use relationship to comments and select fields you need and theme them
I know this is old request, but I was just struggling with the same issue and came across this post. I thought it'd be helpful to share my solution.
I'm using Drupal 7, with Views 3 and Display Suite.
In your view, choose the display in question.
Under Format, click the first link to the right of 'Show'.
Choose 'Content' (or 'Display Suite' in my case).
Click 'Apply'.
On the next screen, you'll have the option to 'Display comments'. Check this box and save your view.
You should now see the comments displayed under each item in the view.
You could create a second view (with URL e.g. /comments/% where the placeholder will be the node ID, and not the comment ID) that lists comments for a given node, with a contextual filter to only show them based on the NID in the URL.
Then, add that view to the footer (as a 'view area') of the single-node view you've already got.
There's some tweaking required for layout (inline fields etc.) but the basic structure should work.
