So, Ive been making websites in Drupal for over 2 years now, but I'm profoundly stuck using Drupal Views module and paginating a page display. Basically I'm picking up a bunch of articles, sorting them by their date published and am limiting it to only 10 items per page, but I dont see a "More Link" and I have never tried to do paginating in Drupal. Any help would be great, thanks!

You need to adjust the "use pager" setting. It is currently set to "no".

i am using avada fusion theme in my wordpress site, different plugins work fine if i need to search posts and pages, but i need to search/sort/filter in a page where i have created 100+ containers/items as a list(like slides or templates).
how can i get it done?
And also what would be a good approach if my list is going to be long i.e 400+ in near future?
re: i have different graphical and text included items in a page with same templates, and i need to search, sort, filter from that list in that page.
I do not see any option to tag or id each template/containers in page which would make search/sort easy.
thank you in advance
On the main page of my drupal 7 website I have a a block called "active forum topics. At the moment only the topic title is shown in the preview:
Is there a way to modify this block? I want to add more content to this block like author of the topic, related forum, date/time, maybe number of posts.
Thanks in advance
Well I actually have an answer for this, after looking to do it myself, I found the "view" for the "Active Forum Topics" page (the forum tab page that generates active forum topics). From that view I added a block, which now allows you to create a block from that existing view - with whatever items you want in there.
Assuming you are using advanced forum - this view is at: admin/structure/views/view/advanced_forum_active_topics
Where is says "displays" click the (+add) button and choose block. From there it is pretty straight forward if you know how to use views.
I'm setting up my first Wordpress site. I have limited knowledge and understanding of its inner working. (Bear that in mind, please)
I setup 3 different pages that show posts based on their categories.
Though, once your reading one post, from either pages, the Next Post/Previous Post navigation still cycle thru all the posts regardless of their categorie.
I would like to limit this navigation to posts within the category of the page the reader is reading from.
Is that at all feasable and if so, can you help me out understanding how to do it?
Or if there is a plugin that does that?
Thanks
That's covered in the WP docs. Set in_same_cat to true.

If the links are already in your theme, you'll need to edit them.
New to Drupal. Installed it, set Bartik theme as default, created a few pages with a menu. Now I would like to do something like this:
where the pictures with descriptions link to either other pages or articles. Each of them should have custom size.
What is the simplest way to do it?
For the testing I have created 4 articles on my home page, but obviously they sit one on top of each other. The same happens when I add blocks.
There is not better option to this than to install and use Views module. You can achieve exactly what you want using the nice UI it provides.
You need Views if
You like the default front page view, but you find you want to sort it differently.
You like the default taxonomy/term view, but you find you want to sort it differently; for example, alphabetically.
You use /tracker, but you want to restrict it to posts of a certain type.
You like the idea of the 'article' module, but it doesn't display articles the way you like.
You want a way to display a block with the 5 most recent posts of some particular type.
You want to provide 'unread forum posts'.
You want a monthly archive similar to the typical Movable Type/Wordpress archives that displays a link to the in the form of "Month, YYYY (X)" where X is the number of posts that month, and displays them in a block. The links lead to a simple list of posts for that month.
P.S - Views module is the most used and installed module in Drupal, hence, it will be a part of Drupal 8 core.
I am new to drupal, so sorry for this noob question, but I was wondering how to display articles only in the central column. Currently there are also blog entries, etc and I would like to get rid of them. I have a Views plugin installed but I am not sure how to do this.
In your View create a filter for Node: Type. Here, you can tell it specifically what kind of content to show.
you can change your frontpage settings in admin/settings/site-information
so let's say you created a view - with a page display
set the page url of your view (eg. articles), and then in your settings (the path i mentioned before) you set the drupal frontpage to the page path of your view (that would be 'articles')
i hope that's clear enough for you
