Pass an array of nids to a view How do I pass a view an array of node ids?  I can create the view using the ui, but the query I want to run is outside the scope of views.  I want to run the db query independently, gather the node ids into an array, and then pass it to the view for display.  Howvian I make this happen, if at all?
You can add a "Content: Nid" contextual filter to your view, so your view will narrow down the content to the NIDs you provided. Make sure you check the "Allow multiple values" box when configuring the contextual filter. This will allow a url like example.com/myview/12+45+78 which would limit the results to node IDs 12, 45 and 78.
