I need to have a Views that is different for different roles. But, I don't know what will happen when a customer meets the requirements for all the displays for that View. Which display will she see?
If you're referring to the display within the views: each view display has a position and the displays are loaded according to that position in an ascending sort. So if you create a page display (which may get a position of 2 since the Default display typically has a position of 1) and then create another page display after that, the next page display may get a position of 3. The customer will be exposed to the position it reaches first (2, provided that they have met the criteria).
If you're referring to the views themselves: views are loaded in order of their view id (vid). The customer will be exposed to the first one loaded.

I am trying to develop an interface that binds to a complex backend model. What I need is a way for scripting to enable me to have a page load different page fragments based on what list row a user clicks on. As an example, on the left side of the page there would be a vertical list displaying different sections in a large assessment 'document' (mental health assessment) (each section would be it's own data model [e.g. presenting problems family history, trauma history, etc...). In the main section of the page to the right, you would have room for a page fragment or some type of container that would contain the actual page or page fragments associated with each section listed in the list on the left. When you click on the section name in the list to the left, scripting would be able to have the correct page fragment or page loaded inside the container.
The data model needs to be this complex because there are multiple types of "documents' and the system needs to be able to dynamically load a list of document sections and allow the user to load the form for each section type.
THIS IS FROM Markus Malessa: The dynamic page content is definitely possible, however since it sounds like a lot of your items are going to be based on hard data, the models really are not dynamic, so you really can't build in dynamic data at run time for example. Rather than visible/invisible properties I might suggest navigating to different pages instead and maybe having many-to-many relations to your list item and if your list item has OldFamilyHistory and NewFamilyHistory data relations incorporate a popup to select which page you may want to navigate to.
I have a Cognos report and i have created 3 pages and 1 common prompt page. According to a radio selection in the prompt page i show the appropriate among these 3 pages.
In each page i have a block that is the header and there i just show title, current date and the selected values of the prompt controls (parameter values).
This header is the same among all pages and i want to find a way to create only 1 header section and then assign it on the top of each page. So if later i want to change anything in the header i will do it in one place.
Any ideas?
Re-using parts of a report (either from the report or other report in Cognos Connection) can be achieved with the help of layout component refenrences which are inserted into your report page and which refer to other existing components.
To use them proceed as follows:
Indentify the layout component(s) to be re-used (e.g. a table or a text or more or less anything less).
In the property list of that component go to the name and give it a unique name.
In the report page that is supposed to re-use the component drag an instance of the layout component reference to the appropriate location in the page.
Specify the target of the reference by choosing the report and within the report the named component (same name as given above).
Example
A block component (which could be incorporated into a header) is to be re-used. Give the block a name, e.g. my_block:
From the toolbox drag the layout component reference
to the report page. A dialog box opens which permits choosing the target component:
I have 2 separate views for the image gallery having categorize using term.
One for admin(draggable) and second for anonymous user. Admin can change
order(weight) of the gallery.
I am using this weight in second views but this is not working properly
Even i have added SORT CRITERIA on **Draggableviews: Weight (asc)** in
both views.
Is there any way to add as a field weight so that i can debug this issue or any other solution
Only solution that worked for me was the following:
go to your content type/vocabulary
add a weight field (label: weight | machine name: weight | field type: integer
edit your sorting view and add sort criteria for your newly added weight field
edit your draggable views field and change "Handler" from Native to FieldAPI
under Field select your weight field
go to your content view and add the new weight field as you sort criteria
This is the only thing that worked for me. If it doesn't work immediately, just reorder a few items on your draggable view so that the ordering values are reset.
Hope this works for you too.
The draggableviews module doesn't use the weight field for sorting. If you have followed the instructions for using the draggableviews module you should have two views, 1 for sorting with the draggable items and 1 for displaying the sorted view. It is important that on both your views you should have the 'DraggableViews: Order' as the FIRST sort criteria.
As a final extra step, you'll go back to your regular page display for the view and add "DraggableViews: Order" at the Sort criteria section and place it as the first Sort criteria. For sorting order, choose "Ascending".

I have content type called news. I have a view thats lists all the news. But now I would like to filter those by year and type. User could select from select menu / dropdown the publish year (2010, 2011, 2012 so on) and also the type of the news (taxonymy terms).
I was playing around with views exposed but I only got a text input field. Can I somehow get a select menu instead of normal input field? And also how can I list all the publish years when news are published to that select menu?
Should this be done even with views?
====
PAGE
Filter dropdowns: -type- -year-
Press releaseses listed down here according the filters.
Select boxes will only be used in Views exposed filters when there is a finite number of possible values. In other words, if your field you want to filter on has something set in the 'allowed values' section you should have the option of a select box if you choose "FIELD NAME - Allowed Values" as the field to filter on in Views.
If your field has an unlimited amount of possible values, you could always write a custom module to create a block with a form that presents your select boxes and directs the user to the view (using the filter parameters of the view).
I've created a views of node and I've selected the "fields" option in order to select which fields to display and in which order.
Is there a way to group such fields ? It would be very useful to have parent divs in my html code.
thanks
There's a simpler way to do it: http://www.arsnova.cc/web-development-articles/2012-07-27/grouping-fields-together-drupal-views
Let's say you want to group fields 1-3 together within a div.
First, exclude fields 1 and 2 from display. (By "exclude", I do not mean to delete them from the views display; rather, click on the "exclude from display" button within each field's options.) The fields you exclude from display must come before the other field for this to work. If they don't, rearrange them so they do.
Go to field 3, and rewrite the results, inserting the token for each of fields 1-3.
That's all you need to do. Fields 1, 2, and 3 will now appear within field 3's div. If you want, you can also add additional markup within the "rewrite results" area.
Recently found the best way for my needs and apparently for the needs of many people:
Use views_fieldsets module https://drupal.org/project/views_fieldsets, it allows yo to create a grouping div to put fields inside.
Grouping is built into Drupal 8 Views. So no need for any extra modules. Here's how:
Edit your view (be sure it has fields)
Click Format's Settings
A box will pop up with all your selected fields
Look right underneath all the field names, there should be "Grouping field Nr.1"
Select the field you'd like to group by
Click Apply
If you want to subgroup with a second field, just go back to 2 then you'll see "Grouping field Nr.2"
That's it.
Yes, click on the gear next to the Style option (under Basic Settings) and set the Grouping field. Keep in mind, the grouping field needs to be added to the view, but you can check the Exclude from display option to hide it, if needed.
I'm pretty sure that would give you a parent div. If not, you could add the parent div, by overriding the default templates (look to the Theme: Information section, under Basic Settings, for more information).
