I am having fundamental problems understanding when to use a pathauto rule, and when to use a views page path. I have several custom content types, and I am using blocks to display certain parts of nodes on certain paths. Then I use a views page to display the main node on a path. When I do this, I can't use pathauto, as it overrides the paths I set in views. Eg.. If I set up a views page path of "location/%", and set a pathauto rule for Location content types of "location/[title-raw]", when I browse to mysite.com/location/mylocation pathauto wins, and simply displays the full node. And if I

I am trying to modify the query for Views in Drupal (Views version 3, Drupal version 7). What I want to do is change the query prior to running such that it LEFT JOINs a table in which I have weights assigned to the nodes. If I was to write the query I want in SQL, it would look like this: SELECT a.nid, a.title, a.description FROM node a LEFT OUTER JOIN node_weights b ON a.nid = b.nid WHERE b.uid = $uid ORDER BY b.weight DESC This query works like a champ when I run it in the query analyzer. So, now I need to make it work in my module. I've seen multiple approaches detailed on various blogs

I have a view in Drupal that filters my content. It brings back 7 rows. All I want to return is the number or results returned(7). Is this possible? I tried using the View result counter but it returns a number for each results 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 I just need the 7 part. So in SQL I would do a select count(*) what you can do is to activate php for the views header/footer and add the following snippet to it: <?php $view = views_get_current_view(); print $view->total_rows; ?> This will print the total number of rows. If you need the result as a field, you could use the "Views custom field" module ,

I have couple hundreds of articles on a website. I use a view to show excerpts and links to them on one page and I also have a pager that show 10 articles at the time. I need to add a dropdown with years [...,2008,2009...,2013]. If you select a year in the dropdown, then view should only display articles that were posted in that year. Years in the dropdown should be updated automatically if a new article added in 2013 for example, and thus the first year is the year of the first publication. Please suggest possible solutions. I think, you need to set exposed filter to the view list. The

I'm trying to refresh my View in Drupal 8 without reloading the page with this code : (function ($, Drupal) { 'use strict'; setInterval(function() { $('.view-message-activity-stream-timeline-public').trigger('RefreshView'); }, 10000); })(jQuery, Drupal); My module : <?php /** * @file * Holds hook implementation for the Message Activity Stream module. */ use Drupal\Core\Entity\ContentEntityBase; use Drupal\group\Entity\Group; use Drupal\node\Entity\Node; use Drupal\comment\Entity\Comment; use Drupal\commerce_store\Entity\Store; use Drupal\commerce_product\Entity\Product; use Drupal\user\Entity
