I've got a block view set up to get the latest 3 blog posts by term. I'm providing the default argument with the following: 

$path = drupal_get_path_alias($_GET['q']);
$path = explode('/', $path);
if($path[0] == 'laws' || $path[0] == 'issues' || $path[0] == 'culprits' || $path[0] == 'themes' :
return $path[1];
endif;

Using dpm on $path[1] gives me the term alias and I assumed that the Argument validator for Taxonomy Terms, which is set to "Term Name converted to Term ID", would get me the ID, but maybe not?

Works fine in views preview with arguments entered, but on an actual page it returns nothing. Never had a problem with this before in 6.x. Is there something new I'm completely missing? I've read through docs and tried a few different ways to return the default arg, but no luck.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

  • Apologies if I'm being overly simplistic, but you're missing $ signs on your path var in the if statement.

  • Odd - not sure how those got stripped. I added them back in. They are/were in the argument code though, so that wasn't the issue. Wish it was. Thanks for pointing that out.

  • I was trying to do something similar and your code helped me out (Previously I was using arg() to get URL arguments to the View inside of a Panel -- which, if I'm understanding why it's now working properly -- is because Panels changes arg()'s output? Still not sure.). Thanks!

Reset to default

Added return ''; to the argument code if the if statement was false. Somehow that did the trick.
