trouble with a view template I created a block view and am having trouble controlling the out put. Theme developer tells me the candidate template file is views-view-fields.tpl.php that file doesn't look like any of the others I have worked on. I have found the only control I have over the output is through the view settings itself. Why can't I format the output like any other block or page?
I've experienced the same issues with my conversion from D5.x to D6.x and what I ended up doing was to install the Semantic-Views module.  It allows, at a row/field level the ability to add classes to each field.  Not only does this work well it is a heck of a lot easier than creating and maintaining a tpl.php file.  Try it, you'll like it.
