Setting up a view these days with Views2 can get you 90-95% of the way to what your client, or you, want, but sometimes you've got to go in and make a few tweaks to customize a view to what's needed. One hook that's useful for customizing is hook_views_pre_execute(&$view).

In this helpful hook, you can add something to the foot of your view by using the $view->attachment_after property and setting it to the proper html, or to the head by using the $view->attachment_before property. You can also adjust what the view is doing, and since this is before the query execution, you can easily change settings such as the number of rows being returned.

Here's something interesting to keep in mind the next time you're getting fancy with your nodes during the hook_nodeapi presave step: Don't forget your teaser.

I was having trouble with a Drupal 6 website I've been working on, where it seemed almost as if the body was duplicating part of itself (or sometimes all of itself) on the edit - it looked fine when you were viewing the node, but editing it caused things to duplicate within the body field. I tried the usual suspects for fixing - I searched for nodeapi calls inside of the custom modules we'd written to find the culprit, and then even just started turning off modules, and the theme, one by one, hoping to find the culprit that way.
