Using Views 3 and YQL (scheduled!)

Room: 
Arkansas
Time slot: 
March 9th, 5:00 PM - 6:00 PM

On this BoF we will (1) see examples of how you can use Views 3 to get external data from YQL into Drupal, and (2) discuss how you can and can't use this to create really cool stuff.

Write a comment if you think this is interesting! This BoF will only take place if people are interested. :-)

(This BoF post is a scheduled clone of http://chicago2011.drupal.org/forum/using-views-3-and-yql – I couldn't find a way to scheduled the BoF proposal that was already submitted. Sorry.)

Module list

So, the modules used in this BoF presentation are:
admin_menu vertical_tabs token devel module_filter diff cck ctools panels views-3.x-dev yql_views_query-1.x-dev

And, perhaps also: token_array

Note: We use Drupal 6. Sorry!

Module list update

Panels and Chaos Tools Suite were not used in the presentation, but I highly recommend these modules to manage contextual information on your site (and for example send off arguments into Views).

Instead, the Views Attach module was used – a very nice replacement for Page manager (ctools). But don't use that as an exuse for not learning Page manager + Panels!
