when toggle format what by license comment
Feb 11, 2019 at 20:34 comment added Mark P I did add the Description as a Field to see what would happen but the default result was the description was shown multiple times, as you suggested. I'll try out the Grouped idea but the 'Global:View area' worked well and find it intuitive and far more adaptable to different needs, i imagine. The more i delve into Drupal the more powerful it seems to be.
Feb 11, 2019 at 19:04 comment added prkos Yes, that's the way to do that, you seem to have Views covered :) I haven't tried this but I'm wondering if you could have added the Description as a Field and then Grouped under Format, but I expect that would still mess up Pager.

Feb 11, 2019 at 18:28 comment added Mark P Ok, I did not need the "views_block_area" module, instead, the default 'Global: View area' inside the view "header" worked. I created a separate views block which contextually only displayed the node description based on the nid, saved this. I then went back to my views page and added the 'Global: View area' inside the header. IN the settings I selected the 'block view with description' from the drop down, checked the box "Inherit contextual filters" and applied. The description was generated in the first listed position, this can be themed to behave as needed.
Feb 11, 2019 at 11:28 comment added Mark P Hi Prkos, Thank you so much... lifesaver. I'm currently implementing your Content type Views approach and it's working like a charm. In order to allow for a node description to come through at the top of the view list i'm using drupal.org/project/views_block_area to allow the fields i need to appear once on the views page... haven't got this to work as yet, need the block to receive the nid to be able to display the description.
