I've been doing a lot of work with Drupal lately. I've known about views in the past, knew that they could let you filter on information in a simple way. What I didn't realize was just how powerful they can be, and I'm pretty sure I haven't really scratched the surface.

Over at my personal site for role playing games, O'Brien's Cafe, I have been posting information for my gaming sessions. These include background information on my current campaign and supporting materials for my the adventures in that campaign. I took advantage of the taxonomy system to associate individual nodes with specific adventures. That was pretty cool all by itself, because just by looking at the page I could tell what adventure it belonged to.

Today, I set up a view that would sort all of my nodes by adventure. I chose to display it as a page, and to insert that page into the menu. Check it out at the Adventures page. Then, if you click on one of the listed adventures (there's only one so far), you get all of the nodes for that adventure.

There's a lot of potential here for non profits, for instance, who have multiple issues that they are writing about and advocating for.
