CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

At Woodlands Church they use a custom group type (they can be added by going to example.org/civicrm/admin/optionValue?gid=20&reset=1) for groups that are real groups within the church and not administrative type groups or just mailing groups. I would like to be able to produce reports in Drupal views on these groups but at the moment they don't show up in views or in the Civi API.
Would anyone be able to add these custom group types to views?
Also I occasionally come across things that I would like to add to views but have not found any simple to follow instructions on how to add things, does anyone know of any or could talk me through it themselves (I am not a coder as such but very geeky and keen to learn!)
