Module features and usage
- With this module installed, when you select "Show" in the Format modal for any views display, you'll see a new option for "Single Directory Component", in addition to standard options like "Content view mode" or "Fields"
- You can then select which of the site's available SDCs you want to use to format each result, and then you can map fields defined in the view to the properties and slots defined for the selected component
- You can also place a view using this format into a Drupal Canvas layout by having a block display
- SDCs and Canvas are the new hotness in Drupal theming, so this module gives you some additional ways to incorporate theme into your own Drupal site
