<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have given my blog entries URL's in PathAuto like
this: /blog/5/200806/389 where:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>5 is UID of author</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>200806 is June, 2008</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>389 is nid</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I want to create a block on the right margin which
will have links such as member's blog, member's recent entries, member's most
read blogs, etc which will all link to Views I've already set up.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I thought I could use args to extract the UID from
the URL but when I print out all arguments in the block as a test, I get only
"node" and "389" so it's not seeing the PathAuto URL but the system
URL.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>What I was hoping to do, paraphrased,
is</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>where arg0 is blog and arg1 is numeric</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>arg1 equals $uid</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><a href="/blog/$uid">Member's
Blog</a></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>also though, in that snippet, how would I load the
user's name? I guess what I'd really want to do is load the user so I'm
able to extract uid, name, picture, etc and use arg1 to do it, but I can't get
the PathAuto created URL parameters, only the core system ones.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>any help appreciated.</FONT></DIV>
