Hi Neil,

not sure if you can do that just through the settings without any code. I have had a very similar problem for the italymag.co.uk website and what I did was first create a View with all the settings (fields, filters, etc) minus arguments.

Then in the template files I have the following code:

$localnews = views_get_view('local_news'); $localnews_args = array(0 => $context->tid); $view_output = views_build_view('embed', $localnews, $localnews_args, true, 10);

local_news is the view I created that arranges stories for me, then I pass to the view the tid for which I want it to filter the stories and output that to the page.

I am not sure it is the most efficient way of doing things but it works and it allows me to easily introduce (if required) more arguments and/or more logic based on the term ID.

Hope this helps.

best,

ronald

This is quite a complicated one.

I have a Vocabulary, "Location". It is 4 levels deep. (country > state > county > town). I have attached it to three content types: page, story, blog.

I have used PathAuto on the category paths to dynamically alter the URLs to this pattern:

article/[catpath-raw], which gives me URLs such as:

article/united-states/texas/kent-county/jayton

I attached one each of the Page, Story and Blog content types to this town and I go there and get a listing of 3 nodes. Perfect.

Now, what I want to do is to create a View to be able to go to:

article/united-states/texas/kent-county/jayton/blog to see ONLY the blog entries article/united-states/texas/kent-county/jayton/page to see ONLY the page entries, and so on

ultimately, I would like to go to article/united-states/texas/kent- county/jayton/page/1 to see on UID 1's page entries for that city. But one step at a time... :-)

The problem: how do I pass all of that cat path to the Views URL?

I set up a View with first argument as "term name" and second argument as "node:type" and I set up the page URL as "article" so if I then go to article/jayton/blog, it works perfectly...However, if I go to article/united-states/texas/kent-county/jayton/blog, I get a Page Not Found as the "term name" is only passing the last part of the overall catpath (i.e. jayton) to Views, not all of it. How can I pass all the catpath into the page URL? Is it even possible to do that?

Thanks in advance.
