Even if you're brand new to Drupal, find out what the Views module can do. Heather James, manager of training here at Acquia, will show you around the interface so you can become familiar with key terminology for Views such as displays, formats, filters. She'll also demo how to create a view of content, users or taxonomy. She'll give you a peek at how to extend Views with other modules.
You will learn about:
• Views orientation
• Views displays: Block, page, RSS
• Views attachments
• Formats: HTML list, tables, unstructured lists, etc.
• Filters: To narrow down the set of results
Moderator: Views Mini-Course Part 1 – An Introduction to Views with Heather James who is the manager of training here at Acquia. We are very excited to have Heather on the line.
Heather James: …the training program at Acquia was established in 2010 and just last year, we trained over 3,000 people, so we get a lot of people in the door who are brand new to Drupal. We maintain our own course materials so they're continuously updated, and that keeps us pretty busy.
The training is actually run by our training partners and those folks are experienced developers and they actually enjoy getting away from behind the computer and helping other people, so you'd actually find the events are quite fun and you get a lot of insight into real-life kind of Drupal problems and solutions.
We have a lot of tailored courses available and I'm happy to talk with you at any time about setting up training for your team, so please contact me if you need some advice.
So you've landed on the very first class which is our first mini course, which is an introduction to Views, and we will have soon a Drupal for Project Managers mini-course that will be a four-part course coming in May. We put these together because we thought that there were still lots of people who – and even though there are a lot of free stuff out there, we wanted to contribute and make some more training available for you guys.
In this mini-course, you're going to find out in these three weeks how to expose data across your site, create lists of content, users, and terms; and format it as tables, lists, galleries, slideshows; and that's really what Views does. Today, we're just going to start with the very basics. We're going to start with just how Views works and what it does, and give you a general orientation and terminology of just so you'd kind of know enough basically to be dangerous, at least in the next week.
In order to get most out of today's session, you'll need to already understand how to add content to Drupal, how to customize content types, what modules are, and how to install and configure modules.
You might find yourself somewhere on this spectrum. I actually was sort of surprised that you might find people like this little orange dot here, someone who has actually got some experience with Drupal but really doesn't know what Views is or is aware of Views but hasn't actually felt them or made any use of them. I expected everyone to be like this blue dot. If you know Views and you're experienced with Drupal, you probably know a lot about Views, but what I was surprised to find is on a lot of client sites where they're building websites and not making any use of Views at all, and that's why I wanted to run this mini-course.
We're going to dig in now and first thing we're going to do is address a kind of misconception, we could say. We're really I guess brainwashed by this metaphor of manila folders and files and manila folders, and we sort of still think that way to the point when you're even developing your own website, you may be thinking, "I've got a mental sitemap with pages and they fit in folders." In fact, some or many actually - CMSs actually work this way so you may be familiar with other CMSs where you'd want to add a section on your site, so you add a folder and then you add in pages within that folder.
The problem is this isn't just a mental hurdle. It also causes logistical problems if your CMS does work that way. Say for example, you want to add news headlines showing up in the sidebar of your contact page, so you'd have to what – maybe every time a news item was added, you'd have to copy the text, put a link, and update the contact page or update it all across the site wherever it appeared. Believe it or not, there's a lot of people still even using Drupal that way and you don't have to.
What we're going to do right now is think of Drupal as holding data so not everything you're going to see on our Drupal site is content per se but everything is data. Views is going to help us expose those data across the site, so you can think of these in different groups.
Now, I just thought it would be good if we got our hands dirty first of all. I'm going to do a very quick demo and kind of a magic trick and just show you how Views works. I promise I will go into it in much more detail afterwards.
The first thing we're going to do is look at what Drupal does out of the box for listing content, and then we'll see how we're going to override that and we'll see how to make a new view listing content type.
I'm going to bring you over to my Delicious Drupal site here. Here, I'm logged in as the User 1 or the Administrator so I see all the various controls available. Here's a list of content on the site. We call this like the "river of content" which is okay. If I go over to Site Configuration, Site Information, I can see that I could change the amount of posts on the front page and I could even change the path, but that's pretty much all I can do. The only other option I have is to go to Structure, Content Types. Say for example, with a specific content type like the fan art or cooking website, we don't want recipes to show up on the front page. So I could change the default option that it doesn't show up on the front page, and so I could limit that by all the various content types but still it's quite limited in what I can do.
What I'd like to do on my Delicious Drupal Site is have a list of news items or news articles, so I'll show you how to do that. Go to Structure, Views; of course, with the Views module enabled already. So we'll go to Structure, Views, Add new view, and I would call it News Articles. Show in Content, so I mentioned before, we've got lots of different data here. We're going to select Content in this case; of type, Article, so I'm limiting how much I'm going to show. I will create a page, here we go. I can even customize this path to make it shorter or change it any way I like. I'm going to keep the Default options. This is where you can see you can change your formatting and to keep it as Teasers, and that's pretty much very similar to what's on the front page and I can change the number of items to display.
I'm just going to save the options as we set them up in that wizard there, Save & Exit, and here we see a news page. Okay, fantastic. We've only got news articles now. We're not getting everything else but if I go back to my home page, of course, it's not set to my home page yet so I have to go back to Site Information and make my Default front page the news path that I just created.
Now, this is a little bit of magic hand-waving I'm doing right now. I am going through this a little bit quickly. I'm going to ask Hannah. If anyone has questions, Hannah can message me on Jabber and I'll be able to see her questions if I'm going too quickly. I just want you to know that I will be covering this in more detail.
Here we go. We've created a view and it has got just the news. So hopefully at this stage now, what you know is that Views can allow you to basically limit your display of content. Let me go back to the presentation now. Now, there's a potentially confusing problem. You may have realized that when we're displaying content, we chose Teasers. Those are called View mode in Drupal and that has really nothing to do with Views, so another option which I'll show you soon is to select Fields and then you can get field specific control.
At least at this stage, if what you understand so far about Views is that it's a query builder, then we're goaled in. We're right where we need to be. We're going to take a step back now and let me give you a little understanding of why we really have Views.
I love this website here. This is the Jane Pickens Theatre site. When we look at the front page – or the Coming Attractions Page, I should say – we may think, "Oh, okay. Well, we're looking at a page of all of the content on this site and maybe this page is a piece of content where I can go in and edit the title of that coming attraction." In terms of what Drupal thinks about this content, it's only this piece here so we're looking at one item of content or actually it's called a node in Drupal, and that excludes anything in the sidebar, the header, the footer. This is just one entry in the content table as one piece of content. When we see something like a landing page like this, what you're actually seeing is a collection of lots of different content from across the site. In the middle here, we see a slideshow so it's just showing us things which have somehow been marked Featured, and then we're seeing at the bottom, Coming Attractions like a gallery of movie posters and music posters.
This may be very different from how you're thinking of how you approach developing your own sites if you're new to Drupal. Now, perhaps your process and your workflow starts at Fireworks and you make your perfect markup and then you go to make your perfect markup and you got everything working just fine. Maybe in the old days, when you were doing database connections and combining HTML with your query results, you had to write this kind of messy code yourself. Things have gotten a bit better. We've got some great CMSs out there.
Here's an example of ExpressionEngine which is like a tag-based templating system that has a query that we can actually alter and change. For example, say give us some information about the users. My question is what happens in the case that a client wants to change some of the logic or change what gets listed? They're going to have to be calling you, right? I think it's fine definitely if your business is keeping people's websites updated and changing them, then you're happy but if you work with a larger team of people, you may find that Views is going to be much easier to work with that will allow your colleagues to go and change the queries and update things or even create their own Views.
In fact, Views itself was actually developed at Sony by Earl Miles or merlinofchaos, and it has become so popular in fact that it has been included in Drupal 8. I don't know if you can see the text here is quite small but one of the things that was found in Drupal 8 is that basic default front page was replaced with Views, so even that activity that I just showed you, replacing your front page with Views, is already included in Drupal 8.
So let's say you're brand new to Drupal and this happens a lot in a situation where you might want to create events. You probably would go directly to Drupal.org and you might be looking, for example, for a module that will allow you to have easy date selection, sidebar block showing like a little calendar or something like that, and you look for the event module. In Drupal 5 or 6, that's exactly what you would've found but now with Drupal 7, we're sort of pushing over into more generic and flexible solutions. So it's actually a funny thing because you'll actually be using less modules altogether. You have to use more modules to get the event – obviously, you use more modules to get this event functionality but once you have Views installed and the date modules, you can use them in lots of different ways.
You have a lot more control as well so instead of in the event module if you want to change, for example, how the data entry was, you have to write custom code yourself whereas with the date modules, you can create a field and control how the input is – if ever received I guess you could say. You can also have options for formatting how it displays so with Views, for example, you have the option of display formats or templates that create these calendars, the Full Calendar or the Calendar module. I hope that gives you a sense of really want makes Drupal a little bit different. I like to call this the "big fancy middle man" where Drupal allows you to control and configure display and layout. It makes it very different from other systems as you saw with ExpressionEngine or maybe WordPress.
At Acquia, we really believe that you're going to get a better quality site that's easier to maintain through more configuration, more site building, and less custom code. In fact, this just results from a survey done in 2011 of Drupal agency executives and they said that's pretty much what they were looking at. It's about 80% of their development project was done with site building and configuration and overall, that has less security risks, it's easier to maintain, and I think you're going to find it much easier to manage.
At this point, as long as you understand I guess that the CMS supposedly makes it easy, obviously, for a lay person to update content on the site without a developer, it's Drupal taking it one step further and putting those developer tools within the reach of other people on your team. In fact, with the training we provide, we often find it's a matter of change management because people have to change even the way they communicate within their development team so you may find that someone else in your team who is involved in user experience is able to now create a view and get involved in actually creating workable prototypes of your site.
We're going to take a second to find your way around the Views. I just wanted to ask really quick - did anyone have any questions so far? I'm going to see. This is my first time actually doing the webinar so I'm sorry about any problems I'm having.
Moderator: We have one question come in. Will you be explaining one of the Views you've used versus one that's not?
Heather James: That's a really good question. Yes, definitely. I think that in general, you want to be using Views especially for listing content on your site. I'm sorry, I'm just getting a little dazzled by the interface here on WebEx. If you're going to be listing content on your site or making any lists of any data on your site, you want to be using Views basically. There are situations where if you have a site with a large volume of content or large volume of comments, for example, you will probably want to export your queries and optimize them and make them a little bit more fine-tuned but other than that, Views would begin, would start as a really great prototyping tool, for example, so I hope that makes sense.
Moderator: We have one more come in.
Heather James: Sure.
Moderator: Everyone has events. Does everyone have to build event content types or views? Is there a best practice?
Heather James: Yes. Actually, I did an events webinar a few months ago and because something like events we've done so frequently, there are people sharing modules that extend what Views can do. For example, write your calendar display, there are some great modules that help you get control over that. In terms of events management though, it's actually sometimes you may be wanting to handle commerce, so you might start with something like Drupal Commerce to handle the payment or registration, or you might be using another service such as Eventbrite which handles your registration externally, and there are modules for that as well. I hate to say it depends but let's see. I think it does actually. I hope that helps. We can get you the link to the – or you can look on our site for the events webinar which I think could give you a sense of how to configure your own event content type.
I am going to dig right into the Views UI and help you find your way around. I did a little magic trick before and we used the Views Wizard. The Views Wizard shows up when you first create a view and it has got some very basic functionality available but like any good wizard, I want you to know that it does disappear and that's extremely confusing for someone who's new to Views. I've had this time and again. People go back to edit the view and they expect to be able to get back to this wizard. It won't happen.
What you will see the next time you edit your view or continue on to Save & Edit view is the regular Views editor interface. Admittedly, there are a lot of options here so it can be a little dizzying, but we're going to simplify the whole interface. If we just think about two questions, we're first of all going to limit what we're displaying so you're going to focus on the sections of what you select and filter. Next, you'll be thinking about how to format and display that so there's a few sections I'm going to talk to you about to show you how you can get control over what it looks like.
Next week for the second session, we're going to go into all of these in a lot more detail but just for right now, I just want to give you an overview. The first thing you're doing is you saw me do when I created that articles list is you're choosing your base table. If you already understand how databases work, you probably have a sense of, "Okay. I'm actually going to run a query on a specific set of data in my database." Once you do that, you cannot change it later.
You can, however, use relationships to get data from another table and if this sounds like gobbledygook, I'll give you an example. You may have a list of content and then you want to also show the author or maybe something about the author, maybe a picture or something like that. You can use relationship to get more information about some related data.
The next thing you're going to do is somehow to filter a limit, so you don't want to just cripple your site by listing all the content and everything. You're going to either like limit by which author you have or maybe you want to limit by a specific content type. After you do that, you're going to somehow select – you can select the View mode as I showed you before with like the teaser or you can select Fields. You'll probably most likely be selecting Fields and you can even change and arrange how they layout.
The next thing you'll do is select a format. So you've seen a lot of different formatting options here. You'll notice I put in a map. That would actually be done with another module that will plot your coordinates, for example, on a map. There are some great tools. There's not just these. There are slide shows and there's a lot of great other modules you can try out and we'll be talking about those as well next week.
I'd like to point out as well, you can configure the formatting that is output. Let's say you have a field like the title. You can change what header that will be output as. You can even rewrite the output. You get a lot of control I think that people miss when they're creating their Views. In this example, it's probably hard for you to see on the small screen but you'll see you can add a level field then exclude it from display, and it becomes then a token. On the right, what I'm showing you is that you can add it as a CSS class. It just gives you a lot more flexibility of how you rewrite the output of your view.
You then choose the type of display. You probably do this in an earlier step but it makes sense at this point to think of you can either output page displays or block displays. There are RSS feeds. There are a lot of other displays that become available as well when you add contributed modules.
Just to give you a sense of like the output, for example, let's say I created this table of recipes. If you can see I'm inspecting the code there, you can see that the level or intermediate, for example, became a class on that table data cell, so that will give you some ability in CSS. I can make that color a specific color or something like that.
So just to recap, we're going to choose what to query. We're going to limit the selection. We're going to select what we're going to display, whether it's Fields or View modes. Then we're going to configure the formatting and then we'll choose the displays. Let's go and do that. We're going to do another demo. This is the second demo. Hopefully, everything works out.
We'll be adding a block display to our news list. We'll choose some fields. We'll put it in the sidebar, and then we'll change the fields and change the display and see how it works. So let's get right to it.
Here I am in my news article view here. A handy way to get to edit the view is to go here on the little gear on a contextual link. I would like to add a sidebar block so I'm going to add a display. Now, I've got a block. Well, I'm going to give this display a name because I could end up with a lot of - News article list, I can put it that way, and then to put a lot of displays possibly. Probably for best practice, I should go here and rename this one – Front page news teasers. Do whatever, you could put some information like that, for example.
Here, we're going to edit this block, News article list, and I'm going to change the format. I'm going to get a preview, first of all, like I don't want all of this content showing up in my sidebar. That would not look good. I'm going to change the format from content. Oh, sorry. For selecting what's displaying, we've already selected what we're displaying just to point out that we're already displaying the content type article. We've got something we've already selected.
So we're going to change from Content to Fields, apply it in there and it should throw up an error. Fantastic. Oh, it should throw up an error anyway. It automatically added the field title. Oh, that's fantastic. Okay. We're going to add now I think a date will be good for the news list. Add a field, add a date, Content: Date, okay. I won't need a label. You can change the format so just like a nice short date, Apply, and here we can see it's not displaying. Fantastic. I love doing live demos and not realizing what I'm doing. Yes, I actually picked my date fields. This is good. Actually, it's great to learn while someone else makes an error. I picked the wrong date. I picked the date field instead of the date the content was posted. That's important. You could also choose by Updated date if you chose news, for example.
Let's see if that worked. I'll deselect Create a label and choose Short Format. I hope you're all enjoying my live demo [laughter]. What an opportunity for comedy. So here we get the title and the date, so that's okay. It's coming along all right, but I'm going to go and change the format now because I'd like these to show up in a bulleted list. I'm going to change from an unformatted list to an HTML list and just see how this goes. Here we go, fantastic. We're getting a bulleted list now that looks a little bit better. However, what I'd like to do is have the fields – I'd like to have the fields sort of running next to each other. I want them to show up in line, so go to the Fields Setting and select these fields to be in line. All right, so that's a lot more – well, it's a bit more close to what I was planning on doing.
I don't want a pager at all on my news item. Excuse me, I don't want a pager on my block. That's just not going to look right, so I'm going to change it to - for This block, I will say Items to display, display 5, Offset, and – oh, sorry. Use pager. I'll just click here, just Display a specified number of items. Yes. Items to display 5, sorry. So here we go, a list of news items with the date. It's getting a little bit closer. I can already see I've made the error I was going to try not to make. Let's see what happens. I added the block and I changed the options there. What I also overrode what happened on my front page, so it ended up that when I added the display, you'll notice here I'm going to go Show Fields for example. I changed it for All displays instead of This page (override). That ended up overriding my default, so I have to go back and undo everything I've just done.
Let me go back to Fields, change to Content, and change to Teaser, Apply (all displays). That looks a little bit better and if I go back to my block, it should look… I hope you guys thought that was funny. Sorry, This block (override). Okay, get our Inline Fields.
All right, so here we go. We've got the front page news. Hopefully you can see it's okay, and we've got the teaser showing up and then in my block, I get the News article list and we're seeing just the bulleted list. Okay.
So now that I've created this block display, it will be available to me in Structure, Blocks, and it will show up down towards the bottom, hopefully the list, and we see the View News articles: News article list and I'll pop it into the sidebar. Put it over here, it shows at the top. Okay, so that should show up in my sidebar second here, above my search form, back home and voila! I'm getting my title and my date.
At this stage, you should understand we've got displays. We've got the news display and we have the block display showing up, and you also saw what happened when I wasn't careful enough that you end up actually overriding your displays. So I suppose you can't put too fine a point on it. You just have to be careful when you're selecting specific displays in the editing options. It's something that generally tricks people up in the early stages, and as well best practices to name your displays and that helps you keep track. As you see, when you saw the block listing, that's the spot what I was looking for.
Let's recap what we've done. First, we selected and filtered with the news articles. We selected specific fields; in that case, we chose a title and a date. Then we change the format so we changed it to be a list. You saw me go back and forth between a list or the view mode, a teaser, and then we chose a display. We had pages and blocks.
Now, that you've seen the two demos, so where do you find yourself now? Do you feel like you know a little bit more what Views is? You're on the – has your yellow or your orange dot sort of moved up a little bit? I'd like to hear what questions people have at this stage.
Moderator: We had one question come in that says, "I'm sorry if I missed this but are we able to add RSS feeds?"
Heather James: Yes, that's a good question. Let's look at how to do that. I'm going to go back to my environment here and let's say, for example, I've got my news articles. What we'd like to do is especially on the front page, we'd like to customize it so the front page RSS feed only shows news items. Go back and edit. Before I make the change, you might be already thinking how could I add a list of RSS items to a view? So based on what you know so far, you get the idea that you can add displays. Right across the top here, we'll click Add a display as a Feed. The Feed options are a little bit different so we don't have the options, for example, to utilize Fields. It's a little bit limited, but it's just automatically formats your RSS feed as you need.
Let's set a path here, so we're going to say news stories. We'll get an output and this is going to give me a preview what the RSS feed will look like generally. There we go, cool, so that's our display. Does that explain it or no, maybe not yet because I haven't saved it? Yes. Click Save. The Save button is at the top in Views as well so hopefully you won't have any problems with that. I've actually seen plenty of times where people are working away on their view happily and then they'll end up not saving what they've done. A sad day then. I should see a news – ah, fantastic. I actually will create this as an attachment, in fact. Maybe this would look better.
Another display we can do is an attachment. I'm going to just change one thing on the front page, Front page news first of all. It's to actually change from five items to like two items, first of all, so we're only getting two news items up at the top. The last display I'll add is this front page sub-list, old news we'll call it.
In the Front page old news, I'm going to change it so we have – I'll show you the front page now. We'll see the – what we're going to do is have two news items and at the bottom, we'll have like a bulleted list. Maybe I should show you guys something. Okay. I could close either views. So we'll show you a list of This attachment, change it to HTML list. Instead of Content, we'll change to Fields and let's just show the title and save. I'll remove the updated date from this list. So here's a list of the other news items and instead of displaying 10 items, we'll offset to three so we won't display. There's just three items that we're only getting, a few of the options here. We'll position this attachment After and attach it to the Front page news.
This is the last display to show you. I guess I was going to save this till next week but we didn't have a lot, so I guess this went a lot quicker than I thought. Let's look at after you save this, how it appears on the front page. So we see the news articles and there are two items showing up at the top and then the remaining news articles. It would show 10 if I had more news articles on this demo site, but that's really the last type of display that's available by default in Views.
Are there any other questions?
Moderator: Yes. We had a couple more come in. What theme are you using?
Heather James: This is just regular old Bartik. This is the default theme that comes with Drupal 7 and I've only just changed the logo. Awesome.
Moderator: Okay. The next question is how do you add a lightbox from each image that a view returns so a larger size image can be viewed in a pop-up window?
Heather James: A really good module for that is Shadowbox. I recommend it because it actually provides you – that's a really good question. I'll be able to show you next week so I'll be showing you modules that extend what we usually do. What this allows you to do is it provides you a different display mode so you may think of – let's say for news articles, for example, let's go back to our Front page news and I'm going to mess around with this a little bit more just really quick. I'm going to change the Content to Fields for This page. I won't make the same mistake twice, of course, and apply to this display. We've got title and an updated date. We're going to add an image which is appearing in my node article there. You'll see here we've got a Formatter, Image formatter and we've got the Image style, Medium, for example, and link to Content or File.
What Shadowbox will actually give you is another formatter option. There's a number of modules that do something quite similar, but it will basically give you a formatter so it will have a display in a modal window. A lot of times these contributed modules are just extending what Views can do because it doesn't have to do everything. It's just things are offered from network to Views. I hope that's clear.
Just see here, this is where we've done enough so far with messing around with the front page. Page display, this looks kind of horrible. So apply this, just change into an Unformatted list here and just to prove the point, I sort of showed you before you can change the style settings, even rewrite the output, for example. I'm going to change this to like heading three, for example. The image – oh, remove label. I'm just going to be demo-ing away here. I have a few more notes to add to the very end of this presentation here but if you have questions, feel free to ask.
What we've done so far, I guess, is you've got my idea that with Views, you get a lot of control over what you can display and how it displays. Oh, it's fantastic. I'm so impressed that I keep on forgetting to do this. I meant to make the first time I did this, I didn't mean to make a mistake. I thought I was being clever but yes, I've got time for questions. Sure.
Moderator: Okay, great. The next question is can you explain the difference between Views and blocks?
Heather James: Absolutely. What you see with Views is that you can create blocks so I'm going to rename this to be News block, for example. I could actually create multiple blocks with Views. I could add another block based on the same query of news articles, for example. Views creates blocks and then blocks are things you place onto the website, so we've got Structure, Blocks, and one of the things that has been output – let me just save this. One of the things in output is my News articles, News block. That was actually created by Views. There's a lot of different blocks just by default. Drupal comes, for example, with a list of recent comments so I'll just show you that default block. Let me put that up in the Sidebar Second under the Views block there. So blocks can be upped by a lot of different modules and you get some control over where they display. Does that make sense? Views creates blocks.
Moderator: Yes, great. The next question is will you be explaining how to export the queries, optimize them, and re-import them?
Heather James: Yes. Actually, that's exactly what we'll be doing in the third part of this. If some of this is a little basic for you, you already know a bit about Views, in the third part of this, we'll be taking and exporting everything. You'll be able to see how to export everything you've created and save it as a module. Let me just show you. I want to go to Structure, Views. You'll notice, for example, with this News articles view, I can go ahead and just delete this, which is kind of scary. I can go and edit it and all the changes I've made and all that work I did could get lost instantly. What you'd be able to do with the module is have a list of content and I'll show you one that I actually have, the one I did at a Drupal camp. This one here is not deletable because it's actually saved in code, so there's in database overriding code but I can also revert it and it will revert back to what's saved in my module. So it's a safe way to back up your Views.
The query that actually gets created is sort of helpful. I think if you want to look at the query itself – sorry, I have to go back to my settings. Go to your Advanced settings here and you can show the SQL query right when you're looking at it. You can also show some of the performance and how it's running. Let's just look at the SQL query for now.
Okay. There you go. Here, you'll see – if you already are a person who knows how to write database queries, you can get your insight here. Oh, my worst fears have come true. My unprofessional cat has showed up for this webinar. I'm sorry about that.
I'm going to just finish up with some final notes. I know that you guys are giving your time over to this and I just wanted to give you an idea of what I'd like to do over next week. If you're brand new to Views, I'd like you to go ahead. Based on what you've seen so far, create a view yourself so this would be listing of specific content type or maybe all the terms on your site, and create a page display and a block display and then place the block in the sidebar of your site, just the same way we did.
I actually created a tutorial which has just four- or five-minute videos, 20 minutes, so I go through these steps very clearly and you'll be able to complete that activity. When you show up next week, you can ask me questions more specific to the problems you run into.
If you are a little more advanced as well and you want to learn more, there is a webinar available that was just done yesterday with my training partner, Suzanne Kennedy from Evolving Web, as well as there's a Mastering Views course actually happening at DrupalCon, so if you're going to be in Portland, that's a really great opportunity to get a lot of detailed help with Views.
Then we've got some Views tutorials so I mentioned my quick one there. There's also Drupalize.me that has a great series. It's not free. There are some free ones there. There's also a free 10-part series with the Toronto Web Developer, Pete.
That should give you enough help so that by the next time we meet, hopefully you'll come to the next one on May 8th. We'll give you a lot more detail on how to build flexible views. Please do sign up for that one as well.
I put up all the notes from this class and all those links. I figured it was probably quite a lot of information. I've actually put them up on our blog and so you'll be able to get access to those tutorials.
Of course, please do come and check out our events. You can meet me at Dublin Drupal Dev Days as well if you want to talk more about Views and configuration. I'm just going to show you that blog post there.
We have about a few more minutes. I think we're closing soon, but are there any other final questions?
Moderator: Yes. There are a couple more questions that came in. Is there any limitation on the number of blocks we can create in Drupal? Can we create more than 256 blocks?
Heather James: That's a really good question. You probably – what's interesting actually about the various displays, you could keep on adding displays to this view and if you think of it, it's really just variations on the same query. If we're querying very similar content, it makes sense to just simply add a display. If you're at the point where you're adding 250 blocks, you probably have a different need, so I'm going to give you just a hint of how this is done.
Let's say we had a news page or we have a news article obviously here. Or actually I may have something already created. Let's look at one I did earlier. I look at the cooking, for example, cooking recipe here. We're looking at this baking recipe. What we want to show are related recipes and we don't want to be creating a new view for every single recipe on this site. I'm just going to click on – I'm trying to find one that actually has one. Let me get the baking recipe, or maybe not. Okay. Let me hold on a second. I could get something that's related based on taxonomy terms. Right. We'll be showing you this on the next one, but just let me try and do a very quick explanation.
Let's say you have this recipe here for beginners and you wanted to show in the sidebar other beginner recipes. Well, you wouldn't want to have to create all of those different blocks for all of those different levels. What you'd actually use are contextual filters, so what it will allow us to do is create a block. For example, we can create a view and I'm just going to quickly see if I can do it and get under the Related levels. Show Content of type Recipes. You don't want to create a page. We'll create a block, and we'll just make HTML list and I'll Continue & Edit. I will do this in a lot more detail next week, but what we'll be adding are Contextual Filters. You'd probably do something like this where you will say, "Show me content that's related by level." They'll take the taxonomy term. There's a lot of magic that goes on here but hopefully it will give you a sense that you could relate content by level. If my demo works out okay, everything will be fine.
The tutorials, by the way, that I've linked to you here, there is actually a tutorial specifically on how to do this, so it looks like we're going to run out of time anyway. Let's say, for example, we had the setup. Let me see here. I'm going to display this content of title, okay, that's fine. I'll save this. Structure, Blocks, and I'm looking for my recipes block I just created, related recipes. Oh, I already had related recipes. Related levels, there we go. Sidebar Second, put it up to the top, and save it.
We'll go back to our recipes page, show a specific recipe and – sorry. Someone who has done live demos before is laughing at me right now. So we've got – oh, that's not even the related recipe, sorry. I'm sorry [laughter]. I'm looking at the wrong view. Oh, can we cancel this? I'm sorry about the demo. I'll show you this next week and I've actually created a step-by-step instruction about this. Let's just say if you're going to create 250 blocks, you probably need to choose Contextual Filters. I hope that was a good enough answer.
The other problem with it is if you are creating views that have a lot of different content, you don't want to be adding extra displays because you're just going to be overriding a lot. Once you start adding, say, more displays instead across here, it's just becoming unwieldy, difficult to maintain and manage. You're not getting any benefits.
The other thing is if you have a lot of data being pulled into your view, like if you have a lot of different fields and you're doing relationships and joins, for each one of those displays, all that content gets loaded, so that's something to consider. You really only want to use multiple displays when a content that's being selected is quite similar.
I will talk to you next week about caching your queries to make them a lot faster and what effect that has on your site as well. Are there any other questions?
Moderator: Yes. We had a few more. The next question is what is the difference between one view with many displays versus many displays? When do you use a new view versus a display?
Heather James: Yes. I hope that what I've just said there sort of explains it. The displays are just to help you create similar lists of content so I actually was going to show you on our upcoming training site, for example. We have a list of European, global, or Canadian, U.S.-only events. If we actually looked at them, we have these individual lists of content. They're actually quite similar across all the various events. They look exactly the same. They got the same format and the only thing we're changing is this information that's coming to the URL here. Those are multiple displays in the same view because the content is very similar and the only thing that's changing is this variable of the filter criteria of the location. In that sense, we're getting a benefit from using multiple displays. This just happens in Drupal 6 but I hope that it's clear from what I said.
Like I said, if you keep on adding multiple displays and you added more data through making a relationship, as you'll see next week, the pulling in things from another table, all that stuff is loaded for each one of the displays.
Moderator: All right. Thanks so much, Heather. Again, the recording and the slides will be posted at Acquia.com website in the next 48 hours. Heather, do you want to end with anything?
Heather James: Yes. Thanks everyone who showed up. I'm really sorry that I had a few hiccups myself. It's my first webinar so I really appreciate you sticking – it's my first webinar in a long time, I should say, so I appreciate you sticking with it.
I'm going to – hopefully, if you got any questions through the week, we'll be able to get them answered for you. I'm hoping that you'll give it a try this week and come in with questions so we can talk about what kind of trouble you ran into as well.
Moderator: Great. Thanks so much.

Why do We Pay Karl Rove's Salary?
Sandy Levinson
A common adage is that it's not what is illegal that stuns, but, rather, what is legal. So my question--which I mean as a serious one--is why in the world we treat Karl Rove as a "public servant" whose salary we the taxpayers must pay? There is no evidence at all that Mr. Rove has any views on public policy that he genuinely cares about or that anyone has ever paid the slightest attention to; what he is is a brilliant political tactician, first in Texas and then on the national stage, who is able to process the link between certain political positions and the likely consequences for the success of his clients. His sole job, from the first day he met George W. Bush to this very day, is to offer political advice.
But we now seem to accept it as a matter of course that public funds will be expended for what Justice Peckham would have properly described as completely private purposes.
Well, the good news is that some of the maladministration staff were quite aware of the difference between political work and the stuff they get paid for, and thus to keep from burdening the U.S. taxpayers with obscene IP bills, they started using "gwb43.com" e-mail accounts to converse about the political purge of the UDAs.
Sandy, at one time you used to write stuff that was genuinely interesting, now everything you write seems to be poisoned by your hatred of this specific administration. It's warping you.
I sure hope you can recover after the next election.
Professor Levinson:
Karl Rove's unapologetic specialization may make him seem a bit unusual in the rogue's gallery of presidential political hatchetmen, but I don't think he's really so different than Mike Deaver, John Ehrlichmann, Walter Jenkins, Sherman Adams or Ken O'Donnell.
Nobody questions (much) the rather monarchical personal retinue the President has on the public payroll at the White House of valets, cooks and others -- frankly a political adviser is rather more related to the President's constitutional duties, so I don't think it's really so odd that the taxpayers pay his salary.
The real difficulty is that Presidents tend to claim that their personal advisers are not subject to the same Congressional oversight as other executive officials. This notion ought to be dismissed out of hand, but for whatever reason the courts seem impressed by "separation of powers" arguments that I can't find in my copy of the Constitution, and are in fact inimical to the fundamental principle of accountability to the people (through their representatives assembled in Congress). We've managed to keep Congressional oversight of the Defense Department and the intelligence community in the nuclear age without undue compromising of national security -- most of the serious breaches have come from DoD, CIA and FBI officials.
During my father's time as a senior civil servant, he offered some simple advice to his subordinates -- "never write anything in a memo that you would not want to read on the front page of the Washington Post." In matters of public policy (as opposed to party politics), even close advisers of the President ought to be able to live by that rule. If an administration chooses to view public policy and party politics as the same thing, that's their problem -- and if they are arrogant enough to ask Congress to put their political hatchetmen on the public payroll, they should be prepared to have those hatchetmen be as accountable as any other public servant.
Back here in Massachsetts, the late political guru Sonny McDonough set the standard many years ago:
Don't put it in writing; don't even say it, unless you have to; if you don't to say it, then just nod; and if you don't have to nod, then just wink.
This was long before the days of EMail and it still works well for many politicians who don't believe in open government.
Presidents have brought their political advisors with them to the Executive Branch from the beginning. While they were often appointed to head various Executive departments, they all provided political advice as well.
Given that the work of a democracy always involves politics, why would anyone think this was strange? Unless, of course, the desire is to remove a particularly effective opposition advisor...
Isn't the presence of Mr. Rove on the public payroll simply one more bit of evidence of the bloated presidential office? No doubt there were similar political operatives on the Clinton payroll and in earlier administrations, though I suspect that the casual acceptance of "political advisers" within the very heart of the West Wing as paid public officials is a relatively recent phenomenon.
Actually, having a political operative in the Administration dates back to Jefferson. For years, starting with his administration, the Postmaster General was in charge of patronage and general political machination.
After civil service reform, Presidents found other positions for their advisors. Famous examples include Mark Hanna (McKinley) and Col. House (Wilson).
This is a question I've pondered before. Tentatively: (1) because the Roves of the world do serve a policy coordination function that's at least semi-legitimate, but which is so much less interesting than the overt political stuff that it tends to be under-reported and overlooked; (2) because it's very difficult for anyone, not just courts, to draw the line; (3) because any marginal satisfaction we might achieve by virtue of cutting such individuals loose from the public dole might be outweighed the corresponding marginal loss in their sense of duty to anyone other than members of their party; (4) because involving a few such people, and dressing them up like public servants, is better than having them paid by outsiders, involved (inevitably) by virtue of their close ties in executive branch policy, and eradicating any ability to claim a bright line that freezes out the many other overtly political types from direct involvement in meetings and policy planning.
None of these are complete, and I'm sure some are hopelessly naive.
For a period of time (a couple years?), Rove was also Deputy Chief of Staff. So it's not technically true that
His sole job, from the first day he met George W. Bush to this very day, is to offer political advice.
But that is certainly a minor point.

LINCOLN – Nick Zammarelli boarded a plane Thursday night fully confident that he made the correct decision – one that figures to benefit him in the long run.
As tempting as it was to turn pro, the recent Lincoln High School graduate believes in his heart of hearts that the pursuit can wait a few years. College life featuring side orders of education and baseball at North Carolina's Elon University beckons for the 18-year-old Zammarelli following a spring and summer that can be best summed up as a whirlwind.
The carousel officially stopped spinning when Zammarelli told the Boston Red Sox "thanks, but no thanks" late Wednesday. Earlier in the day, he took batting practice at North Providence High School under the watchful eyes of Red Sox scouts Ray Fagnant and Quincy Boyd before all parties shifted to Westerly for an R.I. American Legion Senior Division contest involving Zammarelli's North Providence Post 29 club.
After watching Zammarelli go 2-for-2 with a triple, three walks and two stolen bases against Gordon Greene Post 27, the Red Sox scouts presented an offer that the youngster felt money-wise was "a fair amount." He wasted little time in letting the appropriate people know that he was heading to school.
"I feel relieved just because everything is off my shoulders," said Zammarelli upon reached via cell phone on Thursday. "What it basically came down to is that I wanted to get three years of education under my belt and improve my draft stock for my junior year.
"This past week, I had been leaning towards Elon unless the Red Sox came at me with an offer that surprised me," Zammarelli continued. "I'm just going to focus on Elon right now and get ready to play college baseball and do my school work."
After watching a player who had been on the program's radar well before his junior year at Lincoln High endure a stretch where coming to Elon was merely another option on the table, Greg Starbuck and the rest of the Phoenix baseball family can now exhale. They know that Zammarelli will be in an Elon uniform for at least through the spring of 2016, which is the earliest the prospect can throw his name back in Major League Baseball's draft pool.
"With Nick deciding to come, it's almost like getting a new recruit. We're extremely happy," remarked Starbuck, associate head coach at Elon. "Obviously it was a little stressful for us because we were hoping Nick would come, but when it comes down to it, you want him to make the best decision that helps to further his education and baseball career."
The message the Elon coaches delivered to Zammarelli was straightforward.
"They told me that I made the right decision and to get ready for the 2016 draft," the future Elon contributor stated. "Back in November [when Zammarelli inked his National Letter of Intent], I had no idea that I would be drafted. Everything came so quickly, but I've gained so much interest from so many teams that I can only think of what I have ahead of me in three years in terms of how many more teams will become interested and the teams that are already interested become even more interested. I'm excited."
The Red Sox began their courtship during the latter stages of Zammarelli's senior year at Lincoln High, a period of time that saw him go from signed, sealed and ready to be delivered to Elon's doorstep to the focus of multiple MLB scouting bureaus. The attention he wound up receiving was at times overwhelming – a total of 20 scouts showed up for Lincoln's league opener on April 8. It also lent credence to the belief that he would hear his name called at some point during the annual first-year player draft.
On Saturday, June 8, the Red Sox drafted Zammarelli in the 28th round, pick No. 833 overall. Instead of submitting an offer, the Red Sox classified Zammarelli as a "summer follow-up," meaning he would continue to be tracked during the weeks leading up to the July 12 signing deadline.
A First Team All-State honoree and an All-New England selection by the National Baseball Coaches Association, Zammarelli easily carried over the momentum from his senior season to his Legion duties. In 38 at-bats with North Providence, he batted a robust .632 to go along with a .708 on-base percentage. Fagnant, whose scouting territory includes the Northeast and Canada, was present for three North Providence contests with fellow Northeast scout Boyd and Southeast Crosschecker Fred Patterson each appearing at one game.
As Friday's drop-dead deadline for teams to come to terms with their draft picks approached, the Red Sox let Zammarelli know that they thought his best defensive fit would be at second base due to the range he displayed as a shortstop. MLB.com listed the 6-foot-1, 195-pound Zammarelli as a third baseman on draft day, with Starbuck noted that he projects as either a corner infielder or corner outfielder for the Phoenix.
According to one industry source, Boston felt Zammarelli "was versatile enough to play a number of positions at the next level." His "hand speed at the plate" and "athleticism" stood out whenever the Red Sox had scouts present.
"The Red Sox were very good," Zammarelli noted.
Zammarelli joked that he's already one day behind in college as the second summer session at Elon began Thursday and runs through August 1. Friday will mark his initiation as a Division I student-athlete and include responsibilities such as completing the homework assigned from the one class he's enrolled in along with getting to know his Phoenix teammates in advance of the fall season.
"When Nick committed to us, we thought we were bringing in someone who had a chance to compete and win a job as a freshman," said Starbuck.
There was a time not long ago when this college-related scenario was far from etched in tone. After experiencing a moment of clarity, it's now full speed ahead for Zammarelli.

LEWISTON, Maine (NEWS CENTER) -- More than 400 people filled the Franco-American Heritage Center for the world premiere of the Peloton Project, and Executive Producer Patrick Dempsey had a front row seat.
The headliner to the Lewiston Auburn Film Festival, the Peloton Project follows 40 cyclists riding 2,500 miles from Calgary, Canada to the Dempsey Challenge in Lewiston last year to raise cancer awareness.
Many of the cyclists were in the audience for the Friday night premiere.
Producer Laura Davis said she hopes the film provides a message of hope in the face of cancer.
"You only have today, and if there's something you want to do, you should do it. Because you can," said Davis. "That's the message."
"Survivorman" Les Stroud was also in attendance. Stroud will be receiving an award for innovative filmmaking, as well as performing with his band. He held a book signing on Lisbon Street Thursday night.
"When I can come down and talk about filmmaking, and be able to perform with my band at the time, it's a good week for me," said Stroud.
The festival continues Saturday and Sunday. For a full schedule and ticket information, check the LA Film Festival's website.

About Me Artistic, Foodie, Simple Tastes
mmmmmmm,mmmmm! bulls eye caramel creams are so smooth and silky. I would grab one or two at a time throughout a single day. (several daily!) I can't help myself; they're sooooo good! unfortunetly the one bag only lasted a week or less for me! You get alot in a bag, but they are a little over priced. Quality is good though!

16-channel premium analog mixer with FireWire, Onyx mic preamps, 4-band Perkins EQ, and more.
The Mackie Onyx 1640i professional compact mixer is one of Mackie's Onyx-i series consoles. It offers built-in FireWire, along with a mix of modern features and technologies for live sound reinforcement and analog or digital studio recording - all in a durable, roadworthy package. While the Onyx 1620i is compatible out of the box with most major DAWs, from April 1, 2010, to May 31, 2010, you can get a free Mackie Universal Driver Upgrade downloadable driver on Mackie's website that makes it qualified for use with Pro Tools M-Powered 8.
The Onyx 1640i is equipped with 16 of Mackie's premium, precision-engineered studio-grade Onyx mic preamps. Mackie is renowned for the topnotch mic preamps used in their mixers, and today, they're better than ever, with specifications rivaling expensive standalone mic preamplifiers.
Channels 1 and 2 feature high-impedance instrument/line-level inputs so you can connect an acoustic, electric, or bass guitar directly into the mixer, eliminating the need for an external direct box.
Extremely adaptable DAW integration Recording and Mixing
The Mackie mixer's channels, aux sends, or the master L/R can be sent straight to your computer via FireWire for recording. Pre/post EQ taps on every channel allow you to integrate our renowned Perkins EQ into the record path. Plus, a stereo return from your DAW, or iTunes is assignable to the control room section or straight back into two channels panned left and right for mix integration.
Powerful Effects Engine
With six aux sends routable to your DAW, the Mackie Onyx 1640i allows you to use your favorite plug-in as a realtime effect. Just route an aux send to your DAW, apply the plug-in, and assign your DAW outputs to the control room or to a channel strip for instant integration into the mix.
Live Recording
Live sound recording could not be simpler! The 1640i mixing console offers the ability to record individual channels, either wet or dry, for studio-quality multitrack recordings that you can edit and mix down later on. It also lets you simply record the main mix, allowing for immediate creation of CDs right at the gig.
The Mackie Onyx 1640i recording mixer is Pro Tools M-Powered compatible and includes Tracktion 3 Music Production Software.
Tracktion 3 Music Production Software
Tracktion 3 Music Production Software doesn't make you bounce around endless menus and windows to make music. Based on a simple, single-screen interface, the award-winning Tracktion 3 is a fast, powerful, and complete solution for turning your ideas into finished songs.

Comments about Mackie Onyx 1640i Firewire Mixer:
I have the restocked unit and it arrived in beautiful condition. It'd be tough to squeeze any more analog controls into a rack-mount unit. The main difference between the 1640i and 1620i is the 1640i has 16 full mic pres with inserts. In addition to 16 channels of FW output to your DAW, it also has 16 channels of FW input from your DAW. This gives you the ability to do a real analog mix down af all 16 channels in real time. It also has flexible patching features the others don't so you can patch low-latency effects returns from your DAW back into the mix, etc. That means you can use DAW effects live. Besides more sends and returns, it also is the only mixer in the series that has 4 subgroups. I love the huge amount of balanced INS and OUTS. I'm running it in Windows 7 64-bit in SONAR X2 without a hitch. Make sure you install the latest drivers from Mackie. Know that you are limited to exactly 16 channels of FW I/O, no more. So if you want to monitor an entire analog input mix within your DAW, you'll need to use channels 15 and 16 as your mix monitor channels, leaving 14 channels for FW inputs. You can on the other hand record all 16 channels directly to your DAW while live monitoring, but your PC will only show 8 stereo interfaces, there's no stereo master section (which would be even nicer). I mix in the box so I don't miss midi. The only thing I would like to see would be ADAT and SPDIF I/O. If it had those it would be unbeatable.
Comments about Mackie Onyx 1640i Firewire Mixer:
Ive been rec and mixing this past year and a half with logic pro on a Metric Halo 2882 which is a higher end ad da converter and recorder. I entered into digi recording with this as i wanted something that would last me and work. As of late ive wanted to get more than 7 mics on a kit for more definition. I was concerned at first with the Mackie because at first i thought all this for 1500. So i researched it and heard some recordings. After i received and mixed a couple pre recsessions i was greatly impressed. Ive never mixed analog so i couldnt understand the hype. I do now. Granted it is a different sound but in a good way. Like the cd is to the vinyl record. One not being better than the other, just different. The Onyx pres are great. Ive got some higher end pres such as BAE, Chandler, Blue, Sytek, and these hold their own. A little thicker than others but its a great color for my pre pallet. If i was starting all over again and i had to choose from MH2882 or the Mackie 1640i, i would go Mackie. But then again id never sell the MH 2882.
Comments about Mackie Onyx 1640i Firewire Mixer:
I have had this boad about a year now, and use it to record our band. I use Adobe Audition with it on a XP system, and the fire wire interface is great for recording. No more sound cards. My only complaint is that it is hard to get my fingers between the faders to push the sub asign buttons.
Comments about Mackie Onyx 1640i Firewire Mixer:
I've only had this in the studio a couple of days now, and so far it is living up to the Mackie name. I'm hoping to push it to the limit sometime next month. But as of now, I have had no problems with it connecting to the pc. I'm running Vista with an Intel quad core with 6gb of ram. It is also working great with Sonar 8 Producer.

It is a decent helmet does run a bit small don't know what the next size would be like but the helmet is not good for highway use at all whatsoever my current fully offroad helmet is less wind resistant than this helmet definitely a city helmet. Otherwise the visor and shield are pretty nice, strap system feels like really cheap metal though. If you are just looking for something for very light duty riding this helmet is okay otherwise I really do not recommend it.Read All Reviews

Rode one time with it on and I am happy! I got it because I wanted something that would work a little better than a bandanna wrapped around my face while riding in the cold weather. It works great under my helmet and didn't stretch out after riding all day. The only thing that kinda stinks in the seam goes right thru the middle of your face... it is a little annoying at times. But I forgot about that most of the day, so it must not have bothered me too much. Would buy again.Read All Reviews

Metro mayors put car levy, sales tax back on table
Metro Vancouver mayors are shifting gears on how to pay for their massive transit investment plan, returning to previously discarded options like a vehicle levy or a regional sales tax.
Mayors' council chair Richard Walton said that now appears more likely after the province rejected any reallocation of its existing carbon tax revenue.
Although mayors had specified a new regional carbon tax as their backup source when they tabled the plan earlier this month, Walton now calls that "problematic" because it would largely act as an increase in the gas tax, which has recently become an unreliable source of cash for TransLink.
"If you raise the price at the pump, the gross revenue declines and that's self-defeating," Walton said after a Thursday meeting of the mayors' council.
"Ultimately it looks like we're moving back towards discussions concerning the vehicle levy and the sales tax," he said, adding that will require more discussions with the province this summer.
Mayors seek carbon tax, road pricing for Translink
Many unknowns cloud path to transit referendum
Transit fans love plan but so does their main foe
Transit plan doesn't add up on funding: Stone
Plan highlights
Full plan
Video overview
Provincial response
According to plan documents, a regional sales tax of 0.25 to 0.5 per cent would generate $125 to $250 million a year.
An annual vehicle levy of $72, charged on top of insurance, would generate about $100 million. Options include a flat fee or one that varies based on a vehicle's emissions or how far it's driven in a year.
The plan needs new funding of $110 million per year initially, rising to $390 million several years in, although that assumes big capital contributions from Victoria and Ottawa.
Mayors have not yet set a firm date for the referendum the province requires on any new TransLink taxes – Transportation Minister Todd Stone directed them to pick one by July 15.
But Walton said late March or early April of next year looks likely, provided a date can be found when students and families aren't away on spring break.
That leaves very little time to hammer out the funding decisions and develop a public engagement strategy, Walton said, particularly with local mayors campaigning this fall for re-election.
"There's a massive amount of work to do," Walton said. "The timing of this could not be worse for us to do the job well. It's such a pity because this referendum, if it does go ahead, is probably the most critical vote in the region for a decade."
Several mayors expressed frustration that Transportation Minister Todd Stone has indicated the $7.5-billion plan is too costly and needs to be pared down or stretched out over 20 years instead of 10.
"Waiting for 20 years is simply not going to assist the region in any way, shape or form," Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts said, adding the province should lobby for the use of federal contributions other than the Build Canada fund.
"That's the plan. Thats what we need. It has to be done within the 10-year time frame."
She and Port Coquitlam Mayor Greg Moore Moore both said Stone must step up and enter active talks with the mayors to spell out what the province will accept.
"This back and forth has got to stop," Watts said.
"If the province thinks it can't afford it or projects aren't required they should come and work with us and tell us which ones they want to reduce," Moore added.
"To continually learn all of these new parameters through a press conference is not a good way for us to develop a partnership on how to deliver this."
More coordinated planning between TransLink and the province is critical, he said, because it would be unwise to build a new bridge without knowing how it affects other parts of the transportation system, or to build a rapid transit line without knowing if it will affect tolls generated on a bridge.
Some mayors suggested the choice of funding sources be left up to voters.
Moore said a preferential ballot could give multiple options.
Stone warned earlier in the week any plan and new taxes to pay for it have to be affordable to families.
But Moore argued the same lens should be used to scrutinize the do-nothing scenario.
"How will it affect affordability for families if your road system is clogged, and it takes you longer to get to work and you can't get goods to market?" he asked.
"The cost to the economy, the cost to families will be much greater if you don't do anything."

Archive for the 'La-Chaux-de-Fonds Switzerland' tag
Four-Links – Italian one-off, Troy Oldsmobile Special, Opel's GT2, Louis Chevrolet celebration
* Bradley Price at Automobiliac this week enlightened us to the sleek little one-off (okay, two-off) built in 1968 by Neri & Bonacini using a mid-mounted Lancia V-4 engine. Story goes that they looked to go into production with it, but never attracted the interest and/or funding necessary for production. Shame.
* Charlie Beesley turned up a couple photos of the Oldsmobile-based sport custom roadster that Wally Troy built in the early 1950s, which now makes us want to go out and section any early 1950s GM product we come across. If the Troy name sounds familiar, it's because we've previously taken a look at his Troy Chevrolet Special.
* Opel sold quite a few GTs during that car's original run in the late 1960s and early 1970s, but never followed it up with a second generation (not counting the latter-day Solstice-based GTs). As IEDEI pointed out this week, however, Opel did at least consider a second-gen GT with its 1975 Opel GT2 concept.
* La-Chaux-de-Fonds in Switzerland gave the world plenty of watchmakers, the architect Le Corbusier, and of more importance to the automotive world, Louis Chevrolet. Now, more than 130 years after his birth there, the town is planning to celebrate its famous son with a giant steel bust of Chevrolet in one of its parks.
* Finally, reader Jim Barrett came across a nice collection of photos from the company that once ran Schell's Garage in Dayton, Ohio, showing the exploits of the garage's homemade tow truck.

The Illinois Holocaust Museum & Education Center has received a $250,000 grant from Exelon Corporation to establish the Museum's Anti-Bullying Initiative.
SKOKIE, IL – March 11, 2011 – The Illinois Holocaust Museum & Education Center has received a $250,000 grant from Exelon Corporation to establish the Museum's Anti-Bullying Initiative. The new educational program kicked off with a full-day workshop entitled STAND UP! Youth Leadership Day on Wednesday, March 9. A program of the Miller Family Youth Exhibition, over 60 fifth and sixth grade students participated, traveling to the museum from Chicago and surrounding suburbs, Rockford, and Northwest Indiana.
Museum tours and group activities fostered the students' leadership skills and helped them develop action plans to combat bullying in their schools and communities. Students heard from keynote speaker, Nadja Halibegovich, a survivor of the war in Bosnia whose story demonstrates the difference even a young person can make. Nadja kept a diary during the war that chronicled her fear and uncertainty, but also her desire to bring hope to her community. After being wounded by shrapnel from a bombshell, at age 14 Nadja began hosting a radio program in Sarajevo. She shared music, poetry, and entries from her diary to inspire her fellow citizens and share her hope for peace.
With Exelon's support, the Illinois Holocaust Museum & Education Center will expand its anti-bullying programming to include new resources and training for students, teachers, administrators and community organizations. One such resource is the Steps to Respect Bullying Prevention Program, which teaches elementary students to recognize, refuse, and report bullying; be assertive; and build friendships. The program was developed by Committee for Children, a non-profit with which the Museum has partnered to support programming in Illinois schools
"Exelon is pleased to be a longtime supporter of the Illinois Holocaust Museum and its mission to combat prejudice and promote human rights," said Steven Solomon, director of corporate relations at Exelon. "We are committed to promoting diversity and inclusion not only within our company, but also in the communities we serve. Consistent with that goal, the Museum's anti-bullying initiative equips young people with critical tools to help them fight bullying in their schools and neighborhoods."
Richard S. Hirschhaut, Museum executive director, applauded the Exelon initiative. "We are fortunate to have the opportunity to work with so many young people and help them find the courage to stand up for others and make a difference in their communities. Because of Exelon's leadership on this issue, we will be able to reach even more students, offer even more relevant programming, and involve thought leaders across the region to help foster the values of respect and inclusion."
Following STAND UP! Day, the Anti-Bullying Initiative continues with Summer Institutes for Educators, two intensive, week-long seminars illustrating age-appropriate resources and strategies for teaching the Holocaust, genocide, and other related issues. In the fall of 2011, the Museum will convene an Anti-Bullying Forum, bringing together educators, thought leaders, community agencies, coalition leaders, law enforcement professionals, and health care and social workers for a working day focused on solution-based collaborations toward bullying prevention.
Likely the last international institution of its kind built with the active participation of Holocaust survivors, the Illinois Holocaust Museum & Education Center is the largest facility in the Midwest dedicated to preserving the memories of those lost in the Holocaust and to teaching current generations to fight hatred, indifference and genocide in today's world. The Museum is located at 9603 Woods Drive, Skokie. The Museum is open Monday through Friday: 10:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m.; Thursday evenings: until 8:00 p.m.; and Saturdays and Sundays: 11:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m.
