Would it be possible to select how the view is displayed (ie. as a list, as a table, as node teasers, etc.). This would mean my users would never have to edit views directly anymore !!!

Thanks a lot for this great module !

Anselm Heaton,

Unfortunately, deciding the type of view is a little too far upstream for Insert View to affect in its current state... not saying it can't be done, but this isn't a planned feature.

I'll leave the issue active for a while in case an outpouring of support for the feature should occur. Or someone decides to supply a patch. Otherwise, I'll probably mark it as "won't fix" in a month or so.

Glad you like the module, Anselm!

There are too many things in the views module, the insert_view can't support every property in it.
Setting the view style is not enough to determine how the view should be displayed. For example if you change the style from list to table view then you have new options like which field is sortable and so on..

Sorry, this request can't be solved with insert_view..

As has been said this is probably beyond insert view.

But a simple solution to originators problem, I assume they would want some control over their users ability to affect the content format on their site, so why not create the view display variants "list, as a table, as node teasers etc" wich would be a very simple variation of the default display.

Then the user can insert using

[view:name of view=name of display]

sustituting the name of display as required
