I'm trying to create a view that works as category page (aggregates a list of titles from content pages I've created) - I need that list to link out to another view that is used to display photo galleries. Am I not approaching this the correct way? I want it to be dynamic so the customer can create photo galleries and they will automatically populate in the category page- then have a link send you to the proper display view. Thanks, James

Hi ! - Are you photo galleries content types or taxonomy terms ? When you say "link out to", do you mean simply display a link to the page of the gallery ? – Gregory Kapustin Dec 14 '12 at 21:56
Hi Gregory. As it is right now- I'm just using content types with a tag (with unlimited image field) to display a certain gallery. I want to be able to have several galleries and seperate them within categories. Should I do this another way? – James30 Dec 14 '12 at 23:50
I figured out what to do. I created a new field on the content page, used it as the gallery view url. Then used the rewrite token of that field for linking url. The title categories will now go to that view. Thanks for the help. -James – James30 Dec 15 '12 at 2:16
It's great that you figured it out. You can submit an answer to your own question to help others with the same problem. – beth Dec 15 '12 at 14:44

Solution to this issue:

Use a tag, on your content page, that has the same url as your gallery view has. Make sure that the order of your fields, in the views config page, has the title field coming after the tag field.....in order for the tokens to appear in the rewrite section of the title field. Add the content:tag token to your title field, as the link url. Now you have a category page that uses titles to link to view galleries. Create view as a block to offer list on other pages.
