I want to pull a JSON file out of a view that has images. This is similar to the way views_datasource works in D6. I am not a drupal coder, but I would like to give this a try. but I am guessing that is would be something like http://mearra.com/blogs/juha-niemi/drupal-7-custom-node-view-modes#comment-218
but I would like to make this a module as much as possible. any sample code, examples would be great. thanks
