ABOUT

This module provides two additional Views display plugins, "Profile" and
"Node content".

These displays do not display on a page but get "attached" to either a user
page or nodes of specified types.  These views are not stored with the user or
node, the way viewreference. Module would, so they can be
globally-reconfigured.

The node content display can be reordered on the "Manage fields" tab if CCK is
enabled.  If not, it will have a weight of 10 so it floats to the bottom of
the node.

For added fun, configure a view that takes a node id for a nodereference field
as an argument, then attach it to nodes.  Poof, instant contextual views!

One important caveat is that views attach may *not* work properly when
previewing new nodes.  For example, if a view attached to a node intends
to receive the node's nid it will receive no argument if the node has not
yet been saved.

Views_attach was originally developed by Jeff Eaton but never released. Larry
Garfield later cleaned it up and added the CCK integration.
