For those not reading the full project page or the README: this module improves speed by rendering Views fields simpler and more efficiently. If you find that after turning the accelerator on for a view, fields don't render quite as expected and the tips in the README don't help, then you should switch the accelerator off for that view.

Views Accelerator can bring about significant speed improvements on sites with views that cannot be cached normally, for instance because the views depend on an aspect of the visitor's session, like their location.
Views Accelerator serves up two modes of operation.

  • Analysis mode:
    Switched on from the module's configuration page, admin/config/system/views-accelerator, this displays at the top of the screen a performance summary for each view on the page. If performance is already great, tell your boss or customer. If it isn't, take a screenshot of the performance summary and proceed with the
  • Accelerator mode:
    On views that could do with a boost, find and click the Caching option link in the Advanced section of the Views UI. It will reveal a new pseudo-caching option: None. Post-execution optimized by Views Accelerator. Select that. Revisit the page with the view(s) and compare performance stats to the screenshot you took earlier. Win? Then tell your boss or customer.

Views Global External

Provides global field handlers for ShareThis, ImageCache External, and tentatively other services.

The handlers provided by these modules tend to be node-centric, or otherwise not compatible with all use cases. The handlers in this module are global, taking a tokenizable input for URLs and other inputs.

It is advisable for this functionality to reside in its own separate module, as the site-building and security risks inherent in this sort of implementation make it inadvisable to include in the contrib modules themselves.

The intent of this views field is to filter based on a set of input paths, against the current path. The best example of this in other areas of the drupal core are blocks page filters. A text area field can be passed to this filter and will be filtered based on the current path. Best used with views blocks.

View modes by View provides a report that shows you which views are using which view modes.

View modes are great, but once you have more than one or two, it's difficult to remember where they're being used – and if you're coming onto an existing project, you don't have that history to rely on. This module supplies that bird's-eye view of where you view modes are being used.

This module enables a views style plugin called "Table Chart". The plugin converts views table output into a chart using the Highcharts third party library as a base and the jQuery HighchartTable library for conversion.
