[Summary view] [Print] [Text view]

   1  The <strong>node</strong> row style will display each item of the view through Drupal's standard <em>node_view()</em> function. Views has very little control over this output, except for the options you see. Instead, the output is run through the standard node template mechanism (typically <strong>node.tpl.php</strong> or a variant thereof) and any decisions about what is output may be done there.

   3  Views does add an extra 'suggestion' to the list of possible node templates: <strong>node-view-VIEWNAME.tpl.php</strong> -- you may use this to theme a node specifically for the view. This can be handy for creating very small teasers and the like.

   5  You may opt to display the full node body or the node teaser, and you may add the node links (such as he 'comment' links that appear after a node) or not.

   7  Because of this behavior, <strong>the node row style does not utilize fields</strong> and the Fields section will not be displayed.

   9  <strong>Please note that this row style performs a node_load() for every row, and as such can produce a lot of extra queries.</strong> Sometimes this is necessary, but it can have a negative impact on your site's performance!
