Yes, and I hope someone has a good answer for you. ;) We're going to
want exactly the same thing for the issue queues once they're ported
to using views (which will be happening in the relatively near future).
Here's our use case: you start at project/issues and there's a
dropdown for the project you care about. Once you select that, it
should filter based on that project, and then let you filter based on
the components and versions available for that particular project...
For this to be real painless, there's needs to be some jQuery + Ajax
for this. The alternative is that the first level filter ends up
redirecting you to a different page with the filter term as a URL
argument (in your case, media type, in mine, the project name), and
then the view on those pages can automatically provide the right
additional filters based on the URL arg. Or something. ;)
I haven't actually tried to solve this problem yet, so I don't have
any real advice. But I wanted to mention that drupal.org and
project* will need this in the not-too-distant future, so anyone who
wants to help Laura will also be helping everyone.
Cheers,
-Derek (dww)
