Views 2.0 officially released!

By merlinofchaos on 17 Oct 2008 at 22:02 UTC

Three and a half months ago, Views, along with CCK and OG were made available as a release candidates. Today, I've finally come to the conclusion that the remaining bugs are minor enough to go ahead with an official, formal release of Views 2, and we can finally say that this module is now out and available. Yes, it actually beat Panels 2 to final release!

If you've never tried Views 2, or are hesitating about Drupal 6, this new release of Views is a very good reason to consider making the transition, especially in your new sites.

The Views module has undergone extensive development, refactoring, and testing. Views 2 improves the existing functionality of the Views module, and adds new features designed to simplify life for developers, site admins, themers, and end users alike.

Possibly the most important change is that Views can now create lists of anything: nodes, users, taxonomy -- you name it! Another large change you'll notice right off the bat is that the UI for Views has completely changed, and is full of JavaScripty goodness. While it may take some getting used to initially, we're confident that you'll find that the changes ultimately make creating views much easier than before.

A more detailed list of changes is below.

Views links

New features for your site

Multiple blocks, pages, and feeds per view.
Built-in AJAX for pagers, exposed filters, and argument drill-down clicks. Great in blocks!
RSS feeds for comments.
Greater control over exposed filters, including being able to reduce a taxonomy list to just terms you select.
Can have multiple "displays" on a view with the same path, which have different features -- give your administrators and privileged users richer views than others!

New features for themers

All views output is done through templates, dramatically improving themability; the old views theming wizard is no longer required.
Additional theming information to customize your views through templates is also provided in the user interface.

New features for site admins

A completely reworked UI for creating and maintaining views. Features of the UI include:
- Options are presented contextually; thus, when editing/creating a view, you are presented with only the choices you need.
- If two people are editing the same View the view will be locked; only one person can edit a view at a time.
- Live preview! Make a change, scroll down and see what your view looks like.
- Upon previewing, performance timers show how long your View took to build, query, and render. Great for quick performance tuning.
Views can pull data from many different core tables. Users, comments, statistics, files, plus other things can be plugged in.
Can have views within views, known as attachments. These attachments can be used to display multiple, related views within the same space.
"View type" is now called "style", and has split into Style and Row style to allow far more flexibility in how view results are displayed. We've also added useful styles such as grouping and grid.
Lots inline help with the Advanced Help module.
New "Relationships" can let you have all the fields from referenced nodes right in your view.
New glossary styles make it easy to page items alphabetically.
Pluggable mechanism to find values for arguments for blocks -- easily create views for the node or user page with no PHP snippets required.
Views now have optional tags in addition to names; allowing you to sort your list of views and find and edit the ones for which you're looking.
Export multiple Views at once.
Tool to analyze your view for common mistakes (that can be expanded through plugins)

New Features for developers

Reworked, pluggable object-oriented API. Every component of Views is implemented as plugin objects and handlers. Views developers now have a great deal of freedom extending and customizing Views with their own data tables, display types, and view and row style plugins.
Pluggable argument validation (can embed PHP code) to give you greater control over what kind of arguments your views can use.
The SQL statements used to generate a view are displayed on preview.

Known issues

There may be a few lingering issues with Postgres, in particular with GROUP BY related queries.
The upgrade path from Views 1 to Views 2 is very rough. Because Views 2 was completely rewritten, it actually uses different tables. When you update a site that previously included Views 1, none of your Views will be transitioned. There is a converter tool that will make a best effort (and by best we mean weak) to convert your Views to the new format. They will require manual tweaking in almost every case. Please expect this transition to take a bit of time, but ultimately be worth the investment.

Woohoo!

stephthegeek commented 17 October 2008 at 22:32

Wow final release, awesome! I still think that Views 2 is the single biggest improvement in Drupal from D5->D6. I keep discovering new helpful things in it....

It's oh so nice to not be constantly unstyling list views ;)

I can't wait til we can upgrade our site to D6 and take advantage of all that sexy ajax pager/sorting goodness.

Congrats to you and everyone who pitched in on Views 2 for an amazing module.

vph commented 19 October 2008 at 17:08

Great. Though, I'm not surprised about the existence of this module. I'm quite familiar with Views 1 and while I was trying to use Views 2, I thought it was quite difficult to use. Same story for Panels. Versionn 2 appears to be too complicated.

I hope the official version proves that I am wrong.

Try it!

ff1 commented 20 October 2008 at 11:59

Use views 2 for a couple of weeks and then try creating a view using views 1. I guarantee that you'll be amazed by the power and ease of use of views 2! :-)

I thought the same

BioALIEN commented 16 November 2008 at 21:47

Back when I was testing the Release Candidate 3 months ago, I had the same experience about difficulty levels. But after a while, you get the hang of it and start to appreciate the added functionality it provides. Problem is, if you get too used to Views 2 and you get a client running Drupal 5, don't be sucked into under quoting them for the work. Try to remember the differences between the versions :)

I've been using the Views 2 RCs for several months now. Then recently I had to go back and do some Views tweaking on a Drupal 5 / Views 1 site. Good lord, it was so ungodly painful! Or rather, the Views 2 UI is so ungodly wonderful! :-)

Views 2 is an amazing piece of work, from an architecture standpoint and a UI / UX standpoint. I really hope more of its innovations (including the FAPI improvements) fold back into core.

Well done, Earl and everyone else!

TheRec commented 18 October 2008 at 07:35

Great news, I'm really excited to test this one, I have never put a site in production without the view module so it is pretty essential to my activity. Thanks for the excellent work.

For the moment what I am/was missing is/was a true "transaltability" for the views as pages (as i18n offers for nodes and now D6 natively supports for nodes too). I always had to use "semi-working" modifications to achieve what I wanted. So was there any work done about this in the Views 2 version ? That would be pretty awesome.

Again, thanks for this great module and all those new features and updates :)

Fantastic

Nice work! I am a bit of a views newbie, so please forgive me if this is implied anywhere. I have recently had my site redesigned using panels/views extensively and while it looks the part, performance has gone out the window (even on a dedicated server). From my testing PHP execution times have increased by a factor of 3. Question I have is has any of the code re-factoring been targeted towards improving performance? Or should I be looking elsewhere for this? Performance improvements alone would be a big enough reason for me to consider upgrading.

I also hope that in the weeks to come some View gurus might be able to publish a guide or two on how they upgraded Views 1.x to 2.x.

It seems you are using Views 1. About performance, among the new Views 2 features for site admins, we can read the following: "Upon previewing, performance timers show how long your View took to build, query, and render. Great for quick performance tuning."

Also, caching can really help to improve speed and performance. The Boost module (static page caching for non-logged in visitors) is especially effective. There is a working patch -in its issues- to upgrade the module to Drupal 6.x.

iimitk commented 19 October 2008 at 10:39

With all the functionality & flexibility Views 2 adds to Drupal, it really looks like another Drupal within Drupal. With Views 2, one can now access control almost anything by role or permission, which IMO obviates the need for many access control modules. Was this already implemented in Views 1?

I'm new to Drupal, but I can obviously see the tremendous amount of work put into this module. Thanks for all who made it possible.

Congratulations, Views2 team!

Now we just need CCK2 to get stable, and we can start to use Drupal 6 :)

The 12-month Drupal development cycle is looking like utter madness right about now, IMHO. It's eight months since D6 was released, so D7 will almost be upon us by the time a lot of people are willing to start using D6, given the large-scale reliance upon CCK and Views.

Nothing against the module developers, of course. Good luck to the CCK2 team (and here's hoping that this announcement spurs them into a bug-fixing rampage :)

RCs!

Crell commented 20 October 2008 at 17:13

Really, that's what RCs are for. They mean "please start using this so we can squish the last of the bugs". We've been using Views 2 and CCK since the betas, and they've been pretty solid, at least solid enough to develop sites with.

The more people use CCK's RCs and report bugs they find, the sooner there will be an actual stable release of it. :-) (The same held true for Views 2, and for the Panels D6 releases, and anything else marked beta or RC.)

Point holds

Paul Natsuo Kishimoto commented 21 October 2008 at 22:35

(S)he still has a point...developers of modules that depend on Views now have ~4 months to port from {D5, Views 1.x} to {D6, Views 2.x}. In some situations there are modules which have an indirect dependency on Views (A depends on B depends on Views). These most be ported, too. Nor is it fair to maintainers of these Views-dependent modules to be told to hit a moving target when Views didn't try to do so during D6 development.

Actual users might see stable, non-beta, non-RC releases of these modules around the same time D7 is released, meaning they must immediately upgrade to D6 + new modules, or risk running D5 without security updates. I know this is an unusual situation because Views happened to be undergoing major API changes, but it's still not a good one—especially for the enterprise user to whom running unsupported or beta code is very bad practice.

I also use Ubuntu, where each release comes after the release of its components (X, GNOME, etc.). Sure, the relationship between "upstream" software and Ubuntu is not exactly the same as the relationship between contributed modules and Drupal core. But regardless of the semantics, a new Ubuntu release feels better than a new Drupal release because there are no "buts" or "gotchas" about the parts I am accustomed to using.

Regardless of how one views it, those "gotchas" are a deterrent to potential new users and developers in the Drupal community. Maybe it's worth changing something to prevent them.

Granted

Paul Natsuo Kishimoto commented 6 November 2008 at 05:25

I agree Dries won't push for a D7 release when it's not ready—that would be destructive, and he's not crazy. In that case, my point about having a limited time to upgrade is less relevant; but the lag is still very long.

You're also right that I named modules that had no D6 releases. The linked page says they have no releases because of the Views dependency. E.g. for NodeReview: "Waiting on Views and VotingAPI to have stable releases for D6." So I'm not sure what you mean by "nothing to do"...

These aren't widely-used modules. It's probably not a "deal-breaker" for anyone. All I was trying to say was that things could be done differently in the future, so people wait less than 8+ months for module releases they can use with D(n+1).

Acquia Drupal is a lot closer to the Ubuntu model, really.

This is something that I've thought about quite a bit, too. I think there's a strong case to be made for shorter 'minor' release cycles, for non-breaking additions, user interface enhancements that don't break API compatibility, and so on... with a much longer cycle for the large-scale things like new FAPI revisions, DB:TNG, and so on.

But then, I'm odd. ;)

I'd like to chime in with agreement (to these illustrious voices) ... I don't see any point in Drupal 7 being rushed out in a few months. I'm only just beginning to come to grips with the second edition of Pro Drupal Development!

I agree with the previous statements. Unless the D7 release is addressing major performance constraints it seems that the system could just enhance the current version.

#1 Drupal module

I've just seen that, according to Drupal.org's Project usage overview, Views (all versions until the new 2.0 and 2.1) is currently the #1 Drupal contributed module by usage -at least among the sample of tracked sites-, followed by #2 CCK, and #3 Token. Congratulations to the developers.
