I've a View page with all the content of my website (the node headers). When I click on one of these header I would like to load the complete node without refreshing the page and display it on the left.
Can I do this with Views (I mean.. does it have a functionality to load a complete node and add it to the current page ?
thanks
I think it is possible using Views. Views is much more than just SQL generator.
Views can work with Fields, or with full node. Set it to full node.
Views can work with Ajax - set it to "yes" (I think it is Yes by default).
It is hard from your description to understand the whole picture, so I can't lead you any further. All I can say is that I use Exposed Filter with Ajax and load full node properly, chaning the content of the page.
Hope I helped,
You are welcome to ask me directly for further support.

No. Views is basically an SQL query generator. You can do what you describe with javascript, but I don't know what modules might be helpful.
Check out Modal Frame - http://drupal.org/project/modalframe
Basically, your view displays just the title, and you have "link title to node" enabled. Rather than jumping to node page, u want to display node content in modal frame pop up.

I have a web site with number of pages, developing in asp.net.
I have a page URL's like:
example:
1) http://www.xyz.com/Home.aspx
2) http://www.xyz.com/Index.aspx
3) http://www.xyz.com/viewMember?Name=abc&id=1
But the end user is at any page, i would like to show the URL like "http://www.xyz.ie".
Is there any setting in web.config ? If not, is there any other way ?
Please help me...
Thanks in advance.

You can not keep one single URL for different page - but you can do some tricks to simulate it.
To make the url stay the same, but the content change, you need to make some trick.
I am not recommend, search engines they will not follow what you do and they show each page different, user can not make bookmark, and average user can easy find the real url of the page, even with one different click on the browser can find it.
One trick is to use frames, or iframes. On the main page you load all the rest inside an iframe, or inside a frame.
Second trick is to use ajax to load each other content.
And finally you can use session to know what to show on the user, user did not change links, but make post back that change the content.
Is it possible to link to a page that doesn't necessarily exists as drupal content and not get a 404 page not found.
Example:
link: example.com/search/projects?content="words"
There is no search/projects node or page so obviously it returns page not found although I can still run my queries inside that page.
Views would probably be a solution here but I sort of need more control on the outputted html and don't feel like going in to the views templates.
I guess my question is if it is possible to mimic views feature of creating pages which will aggregate content but don't have content theme selfs.
Is this possible at all? It seems pretty standard right? I have no idea ho to do it thought...
You can create a menu item for search/projects and return anything you'd like.

should get you started.
I created a "View"* in Drupal to grab all the content and essentially make a site map, but I realized that it doesn't have an option to grab content from the Blocks I have created. Does anyone have an idea if I can even do that?
If not, should I essentially make each block a page so that it can crawl through the pages? I worry that this will end up becoming unmanageable in the end... What are some other options/work arounds? My end goal is to make a site map - maybe I am making this too complicated?
*To make my view I did:
Administration->Structure->Views->Add. Then I made it a page, called it "site-index", and made it "show Content of type All" (with tagged field empty). Then I chose "Content: Title" for my Fields and my Filter Criteria is set as: "Content: Published (Yes):" - That way, it will grab the titles of my web pages.
Thanks, and please reply if further clarification is needed!
Apologies if I'm wrong but I think there might be a bit of confusion over terminology here. In the context of a view Content means nodes, not all HTML content on the site. Your view will return a list of all published nodes, which are essentially the pages on your site.
On a normal sitemap (if there is such a thing) you would only link to full pages, not to parts of pages like a block, they are essentially used to provide a hierarchical overview of your site to aid navigation for users and, probably more importantly these days, search engines (you can submit an XML sitemap to the major search engines instead of this but that's really for another question).
Rather than doing this yourself I'd actually recommend you download and install the Sitemap module which will do all of the work for you, as well as arranging the content in their respective hierarchy.
I'm using Views in Drupal to show node teasers. I would like now to show the complete node on the left side of my page, nearby the Views, and update it when the user click on a different teaser (better using AJAX).
what's the best method to implement it. I was considering to use a lightbox, but it a bit complex (a lot of complications... such as parsing the content with javascript again.. etc).
See screenshot: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/72686/viewsAndNode.png
Thanks
A quick and dirty approach would be to use an iframe to hold the node content. Users would then be able to switch between nodes without reloading the page, which is I assume your goal. I don't think there is away to achieve what you are trying to do with views out of the box. Have you looked into using panels?
Here's what might be a clean way to do it, of course in drupal there's always many ways to accomplish things.
Providing the content for the ajax call
Install the services module
Setup a service that provides your node as you want it to be displayed
Create the placeholder for your content
Install the Panels Module
Create a empty fixed width panel to contain the node you want to load
Load the view into an adjacent panel
In your controlling view
Add a PHP view header and use (drupal_add_js('script.js')) to add a custom js file to the page. or add this to a custom module, or even your theme.
Re-Write your view node links to help put the js events together
Setup your javascript events
Use add_js to add a custom javascript js file to the page
In the custom js add an event to the view links that will poll the services module and load the node into the placeholder panel
I've solved using the lightbox, and just removing the html code I don't need from the node template with php if the parameter "lightbox=true" is passed with the link.
completely new to coding other than html.
I have an iPad app based on the MultiDetailsView/SplitView sample in Xcode.
I have a master view that drills down and loads new detail views, both at the same time when needed.
But when I do drill down the lower views will not load their new detail views.
If I change the master 'RootViewController' in the Main nib to any of my other navigation views they will load their correct detail views.
I think it could be that my lower views are somehow not connected to the SplitViewController.
I have tried many things but I am just guessing.
Any help with this would be great, thanks!
You probably need to post some sample code to get help. But you can do what you want. You can push and pop views on either side from either side.
