[support] Views Taxonomy and dropdownlist

[Joel Willers]

I did a custom PHP dealeo with a custom select list and doing a views_get_view call. I was hoping there was another solution. I suppose a custom handler would work, too, though. I think ranges are too custom to have something that would work in many occasions, but you never know. Have you played with a custom views handler before? I sat in on a session at DrupalCon Denver, so I know the basic idea, but have never done it before.

Of course I will :-) .

Providing lists instead of text inputs for exposed filters : I thought this is a very common task, I'm surprised there isn't a quick/simple answer.

But maybe I'm not on the right way. Maybe I shouldn't use Views at all ?
