oyoaha Liquid Layout Handbook

Introduction to oyoaha's Liquid Layout

oyoaha Liquid Layout provides a simplified, powerful layout and styling implementation for use with the Views module. Now one module controls all the html output styling for all your Views instead of the previously cumbersome process of creating a module for implementing each style or layout). Even better yet, the module can be used to output Json from any View for easy AJAX implementation.

Plugins extend the OALiquid module for further CSS and JavaScript injection. The 4 included plugins are:
1) Grid (table layout)
2) Liquid (liquid layout)
3) Freeform (on-the-fly layout)
4) Json (JavaScript Object Notation)

Examples of other ways Plugins can be created to extend the view include custom AJAX lightbox effects for handling media galleries and tabbed navigation of a group of nodes. (See examples Below)

Using this module requires adequate prior experience with Views and most likely CCK. As you may know, anything having to do with Views and CCK is both setup and process intensive. The same applies to the OALiquid module. We do have starter documentation to get those with experience off the ground, but it's very general and rough. But (lastly part 2) we guarantee the results will be worth the effort.
