hi, <BR>
<BR>
<BR>
i am new to drupal in general. not sure what is meant by path or url in views jargon. <BR>
<BR>
for example in the help area, they use the words path and url as follows:<BR>
<BR>
<LI><A href="http://localhost/drupal-6.2/?q=help/views/argument"><U><FONT color=#0066cc>Arguments</FONT></U></A>, or additional parameters that dynamically refine the view results, passed as part of the path. Adding an argument of <EM>Node: Type</EM> to a node view with a path of "content", for example, dynamically filters the displayed items by content type. In this example (shown with Clean URLs enabled), accessing the view through the path "<EM>http://www.example.com/content/page</EM>" displays all posts of the type "page", the path "<EM>http://www.example.com/content/story</EM>" displays all posts of the type "story", and "<EM>http://www.example.com/content</EM>" displays all posts regardless of type) </LI>
<BR>
<BR>
i thought that a "view" generates a page (or block etc) containing the list generated<BR>
by the filters set in the views adminstration menu. this page will have a url (path, etc) (??)<BR>
<BR>
but the way its defined here, path is an argument passed to "view" to set the filter (??)<BR>
<BR>
could someone explain the diference and in, drupal 6.2, explain where to set the URL or path in the views administration menu?<BR>
<BR>
thx,<BR>
