I'm releasing new versions of Views faster than I would like, unfortunately, but I keep finding important broken things that need to get fixes out there. And I'll probably continue finding them, because of the amount of time I actually spend on this stuff.

I urge all to update. For one, it makes the archive view functionality actually work.

But this time, you don’t have to download a snippet.

First, I know a lot of people don’t really understand what the phrase means; and in fact it can mean quite a few things. Really all it means is that they are dynamic menus of some sort. In this case, it takes the standard Drupal hierarchical menu structure, and modifies it so that when you click on a parent item, instead of going to that page it opens the menu beneath it. (This has a drawback; that page is now inaccessible, but it can be revived).

To actually see this in action: try the demo site http://dhtml.demo.logrus.com/.

This started as a comment, and it blossomed and became a full fledged blog post. I was responding to someone who, not wanting to defend people who didn't deserve it, did want to point a little to the otherside. And I'm basically in agreement with him.

I don't really have a problem with the initial email I received. I was a little frustrated because I got a bunch of them at once (and oddly, I've gotten more since I posted this) and I realized that if I didn't try to ebb that flow a dam was going to burst. But the real issue to me was his response to my brush-off.

I understand that Drupal is pretty difficult. I spend a lot of time working to make it less difficult and more flexible. Good UI is *hard* and I haven't really created a good UI for Views, merely a passable one. I respect that. But people who follow my blog know that I've been very interested in Drupal's administrative UI and trying to make it both easier to use and more flexible. Sometimes those are the same thing; sometimes they are not.
