Views: Arguments • Like ﬁlters, they provide input to the view. • Commonly come from the URL, but don’t have to. • Example: Podcasts

Views: Displays • Displays allow you to have multiple forms of output for a single base view. • Each display can have its own settings.

Views: Relationships • Relationships tie objects in the view to other objects not necessarily available in the view. • Use to pull in and display this data in your view.

Our site so far • Content types: publisher, author, book • Views: books • I’ve added Author and Publisher pages

What we’ll do • Add navigation • Get a standard output for cover images and add them to the books listing • Clicking on an author or publisher should show us books by that author or publisher • Add an admin interface
