Hello.

This is probably a dumb question, but I can't find how to use OR in node selection for view.
I am trying to make a view that will include only two nodes (for use with Views Rotator). When indicating in "Filters" Node: Nid = ..., I would like to indicate that both node 4 and node 25 should be a result of this views selectiong. How do I achieve this using the Views UI?

Thank you.

Alex.

Set one to nid 4 and the other to nid 25. Make the display only show one at a time and there you go.

I did, but the SQL code it generates perceives it as AND rather than OR (which entirely makes sense for the way the interface is made).

I figured I'd use taxonomy filtering to get what I want and I almost do get what I want.
The catch is, I want to display only Node:Body, but also have this node be clickable, so that every node paged, when clicked leads to the actual node page. I don't see that functionality. Is that possible? I see there is wildcard-like functionality there, but have no idea how to use it.

If you plan to use more than one custom view you should explore the nodequeue module. It allows for custom made queues of nodes and the display can be changed easily because it integrates with views.

Thanks for the tips. I was trying to figure out how to use the replacement patterns. I got that figured out so the case is closed. I will study the info you suggested. Thank you for taking the time.
