This module adds a filter to Views that prevents entities already displayed on the current page from appearing again. This is useful for ensuring an entity shows up only once across multiple embedded Views on the same page. It works with all entity types.
Description
The Views exclude previous module provides a views contextual filter that excludes entities that have already been displayed on the current page before.
This is very useful when you have pages with several embedded views, and you want to make sure that a given entity only appears once in the page.
Example
Say you have a view A which displays the 5 most recent nodes tagged with 'Carrot' ; and a view B which displays the 5 most recent nodes tagged with 'Freedom'. Both views are displayed on the same page (A before B) ; and both have the Views Exclude Previous filter. Then, given a node N tagged with both 'Carrot' and 'Freedom' :
- If node N is in the 5 most recent entries of both A and B, then it will be displayed for A only
- If node N is in the 5 most recent entries of B, but not in the five most recent entries of A then it will be displayed for B
Version 3.x
3.x is a completely new modules, that supports all entity types instead of only nodes. There is no upgrade path from previous versions, Views need to be re-configured.
