Last night I had the pleasure of getting together with @rob_feature and @mattfarina for a mini Detroit Drupal meetup. We discussed a varity of topics around Drupal theming and development. A question was brought up about how to theming Views Row Style:Field instead of theming Views Row Style:Node. When setting the Row Style to Node for a view that displays dozens of nodes you can run into an issue of slow page loads. This happens because all of the data stored about a node gets loaded from the database. That's a lot of overhead when you only need a field or two. That is when we turn to Row Style Field. But that also presents a problem. Getting to the individual fields in a row, from a theming point of view, is almost impossible. We were able to dig into the information retrieved from the database without the overhead of loading the full node. To see how this is done jump over to Mustard Seed Media and see the podcast Bob put together on the topic here: http://mustardseedmedia.com/podcast/episode30. Enjoy!!!
