Keep Your Database Clutter Free: Use Views CSV Source!
Video Description
speaker: andileco
Remember when your client handed you a spreadsheet and asked you to build that listing / interactive table / dynamic chart? You had to create a new entity type, some new (taxonomy) vocabularies, add fields, add or import content, and then build a View…all the while, this had absolutely nothing to do with the content strategy for your site, effectively cluttering your database. Well, clutter no more. Instead, upload your file and create a View. Or, if the file is somewhere remote, just create a View.
This presentation will use real-world examples to show the power of Views CSV Source and why sometimes the best option for a clutter-free Drupal site is keeping your data in a file.
