[support] Module created tables in Views?

[Metzler, David]

In order for views to deal with data in custom tables, you need to
provide support for it by writing special hooks into your module.  If
you want to learn to do this there's a link to the api documentation on
the views project page. 

 

If you want to do just do displays/reporting against raw tables in your
site, you could also check out the forena project.   It's not as
polished as views for rolling stuff out to end users, but is pretty good
for developers familiar with writing sql.

Subject: [support] Module created tables in Views?

 

Can Views handle tables in the default database that are created and
used by modules?

I've just tried to create a View to do just that, but nothing appears
that's not a custom field to be used by a node type.

Am I going to have to do this in the module?

Drupal 7 by the way.

Thanks in advance,
