Views related content based same term names in different vocabulary

Question

I'm trying to create a view for a taxonomy term and show a related content based on term name.

For example, i have term name Manchester United in vocabulary teams and i want to show all news nodes that have term Manchester United. The problem is that terms in news are in different vocabulary.

For now i create a View with Contextual filters Content: Has taxonomy term ID which get me ID for term Manchester United from vocabulary teams.

My questions is, how i can use this term name and show related nodes from news which have same term name but in different vocabulary and different ID.

EDIT: it's important to know that i'm getting first term by his ID in url.

Answer 1

First option (doesn't work as expected though):

You should be able to do that, by doing the following in your contextual filter:

1. Check the "Specify validation criteria" option.
2. Select "Taxonomy term" as "Validator".
3. Select "Term name" as "Filter value type".

I just tried this however and it returns only one result, which is not what you need.

Alternative (this one was tested and works):

You can create a View of Taxonomy Terms, and then use a "Taxonomy term: Name" contextual filter. Afterwards, you can add a relationship to your tagged nodes, using the "Taxonomy term: Content with term" relationship.

That way, you can get all the content tagged with a specific term name, even if the term name belongs to different taxonomies.

Here is a sample View configuration:

and a sample result-set with "ManU" used as a contextual filter:

Good luck!
