[support] Creating views blocks with set arguments (plain text)

[Andrew Fowlston]

(Sorry, forgot to switch to plain text for last message.)

Hi all,

First off, I'm not asking how to pass an argument to a block :) well not exactly...

I have a view that takes a term ID as an argument and has a block display. I'd like to choose to have block_view/3 display in one region on the frontpage, and block_view/7 in a different region on a different page, etc. I know quicktabs lets you 'embed' a view with an argument in this way, and I'm sure I could do it with panels as well. But they're both a bit heavy for what I'm after. And creating a separate block display within Views for each potential argument is horrible. I'm happy to create the solution myself, but just wondered if one didn't already exist.

So the basic question: is there a module that lets you create a block that stores a reference to a block display of a view and an argument?

TIA,

Andy
