Building a javascript-based browser map with views for Drupal 6

Submitted by Albert on Tue, 02/01/2011 - 13:55

Recently for a projet I needed to build a javascript-based browsing mechanism for alternatives.ca. You can see the result at http://alternatives.ca/projets. I'll try to describe how this was done. It takes about two hours to set this up properly.

Compatibility: IE7 and above.

The basic idea

I categorized my content with taxonomy, then created a view with exposed filters, enabled ajax in the view, and used some extra modules to make the exposed filters more fluid. Finally, some CSS and a css sprite for the navigation map.

I have experimented a bit with javascript snippets and views, and I have found that, using a style tag and the full html filter, I can embed javascript directly in a view - thus sparing me from creating a custom module or theme just for this purpose, and best of all making my code that much harder to maintain.

Hot tip man!

I totally agree that using Views Hacks (which I just discovered the other day) is really fantastic.
