Is there an alternative to Views (Drupal) for Bolt-CMS

505 Views Asked by At

We like BOLT CMS as an alternative to Drupal. How can we create lists or tables in a similar way.

The short answer is: no

Slightly longer: The database model in Bolt is a lot smaller than Drupal's, so the querybuilder that is needed in Drupal is less necessary in Bolt.

Everything you see in the bolt frontend is done in your template, you can extend that by loading content through queries like the following

{# get all blog entries which have been published before last monday #}
{% setcontent myarticles = 'entries' where { status: 'published', datepublish: '< last monday' } %}

(more examples at https://docs.bolt.cm/content-fetching)

Or you can extend bolt by writing extensions that do more complicated queries.

This is one of the main reasons Bolt is suited for "medium sized websites" - you can't do a big thing like Organic Groups easy, but you can do the small things like a simple set of pages much faster.
