I've been trying to deploy Views (new and updates) using Features. It seems the recipient site is just marking the views as "overridden" instead of actually using the code in the Feature. Is that how it's supposed to work? How can I get it to use the deployed code?

Is this for D6? Site building -> Features -> Manage. Click on the feature that is overridden, then check the box next to Views and click "Revert components." This "reverts" the selected component to what's defined in the code of your feature, rather than what's stored in the database of the site. Thanks! Steve

Hi Nancy,
Being "overridden" just means that the View is different to that in the Feature code. If you click "revert", it will revert the Feature back to the code version. "Revert" often confuses people because in the context of deployment, it doesn't actually make sense.
Regards
Blair

And when I increase the version number on the Feature, it doesn't make sense that I have to manually intervene. Very annoying and counter-productive.
