Learn Views with NodeOne, part 21: Contextual filters and menu tabs

This screencast is a part of the Learn Views with NodeOne screencast series. It shows how to create menu tabs in Views, in combination with contextual filter values in the path.

This screencast covers the following topics:

  • Using contextual filter values inside a path (instead of at the end of it)
  • Re-using existing site paths to get contextual filter values
  • Creating menu tabs in Views
  • Creating a menu tab on user pages, to display all articles created by the user

Please note that this screencast series was produced during a short period of time, and may contain parts that appear (and are!) unprepared. Sorry about this. Also, the View version used is in development stage and still contains some bugs. That's life in the front line!

Currently there is no official documentation for the Views 3 module, but you can always read more about Views on the Views project page at drupal.org. If you want to help out with making Views better, please consider answering support questions in the Views issue queue!
