Comments on: Learning Views For Drupal (Video) http://www.wowebook.be/book/learning-views-for-drupal/ Great ebook, great site! Mon, 21 May 2012 18:52:08 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: Yarmin http://www.wowebook.be/book/learning-views-for-drupal/#comment-4084 Yarmin Sun, 17 Jan 2010 18:31:49 +0000 http://www.wowebook.com/?p=3587#comment-4084 This video will teach you how to use views. However, I have several issues with it: 1. It's not really intended for you to follow along as it's not self-contained. It references other videos, which is fine, but they never tell you how to set up your site like theirs. It's a subtle upsell. 2. Poor, half-asterisk editing. I commend them for having a script, but they have typos and stutter and easily should have done a retake. I can almost guarantee it's like they wrote out a script and then read it word for word, and if they stuttered, made typos "with" instead of "within", they said screw it, we're not going to re-shoot it. It makes it look unprofessional. I kid you not, I think that I heard voices or a vehicle in the background as if they put those curtains behind them in a not so quiet place. 3. Which leads me to the third point: $75? Not for something that is more of a "watch me" video than a true tutorial. It is worse than the Lynda.com videos from a production standpoint but more in-depth than a typical Lynda video. Then again, the Lynda videos do not only talk about one module.

However, I have failed to join the files properly using Split & Concat and AJoiner. The video will only play a few seconds before stopping. How can the files be rejoined properly? Thanks Hi,
