Views Without Views… Introducing "Relevant Content Bean" | ThinkShout

Mon, 06/18/2012 - 08:14 -- rprice

The Relevent Content Bean essentially provides your site administrators with a light-weight query builder (build on top of EntityFieldQuery) for creating blocks that contain dynamically-filtered listings of nodes. Like Views, Relevant Content Bean allows you to select the number of node results to display, apply filters to the list of returned nodes, change the display options for these nodes, and manage the sort order of your results.
