Display views data inline in a node (easy style)
This module provides a basic input filter that allows trusted users to display views data inline the body of their post.
In a project that I'm working on, I found myself creating template files for the sole purpose of putting views code in there so I could have views data show up where I wanted. Users wanted to put texty stuff above and below views data. I didn't want to be limited to blocks, either.
So, I wrote this filter last weekend. I improved and expanded it this week.
It's in dev status now.
TODO: add at least one more feature: argument handling.
TODO (maybe) clever UI. I'd also like to create a UI that would allow novice users to construct the viewsinline statement by selecting "nice usery names" names not cold, technical machine names 8^)
Anywyas, to use the module, install the normal drupal way, then set up a new input format by going to admin/settings/filters/add , choose the roles (carefully!) and filters, then Save configuration.
Now that the module is set up, you can add a new node, choose the input format that you just created and enter [viewsinline,view_machine_name,display_id] and BLAM! you should get your view. (see the TODO above regarding arguments in this 'release')
