This screencast shows how to use the aggregation setting in Views in combination with relationships. The secret is that all the settings works just as normal with aggregation - but you should also know that it seems that the aggregation doesn't apply to the relationship handler (though it looks like that when you're setting it up for the first time).

That's it!

This screencast shows how to use the "aggregation" setting, lurking in the advanced options in Views. The aggregation setting makes Views return not one row per item in the database, but one row per aggregation group. Perhaps more importantly, it also makes it possible to count the number of items baked into each row, or sum them up, or calculate their average, or count the number of unique items, or…

To use aggregation in a sensible way:

Turn on the aggregation setting (duh!)

User story:
As site editor I would like to be able to schedule content to be promoted to front page. I would also be like to set an end time for front page promotion. Naturally, I would also like to see what is scheduled for front page promotion. This is important since it helps me keeping our most visited page updated even when noone is manually updating the site.

Note: There is an important correction in the comments to this exercise. Bonus if you can spot the mistake made in the suggested solution!

User story:
As site editor managing content with multiple “see also” links, I would like each target content to link back to the content I’m updating. The back links should be added without changing the existing links. This is important since it helps visitors find related content, and it lowers the need for manual work from my part.

Required preparations:
A content type with an entity reference field to other content (see attached feature)
Required modules: Entity reference

User story:
As site member I would like to have a nice URL on my content list, saying “users/MY_NAME/content”, rather than “user/MY_USER_ID/content”. This is important since it makes it easier to remember the path, and also easier for search engines to understand the page content.

Required preparations:
A view available as a tab on each user page, listing content created by that user. (See attached feature for this setup.)
