New Drupal module: Viewfinder

Just wanted to share a new Drupal module I've just created, ahead of submitting it to drupal.org, called Viewfinder. At the moment, given a content type, it will find all views that has that content type in it's filter. It will also attempt to find blocks that may have those views called with PHP in its body.

Download the Viewfinder module.

To install and use, do the following:

  1. Install the module as normal. 
  2. Navigate to administer >> build >> modules. 
  3. Enable Viewfinder.
  4. The menu item should then appear under Admin > Views > Viewfinder.

Easy.

This module is particularly useful when you need to check where updates to a CCK content type may affect views and blocks in a site that was built by another developer. We're using this in a client project now to help us do exactly this.

Please tell us what you think.
