I have a site divided in 4 organic groups:
- Product
- Corporate
- Data
- Users
Users belonging to a group are able to post content in that group as well as read it. Every group has its page accessible through the following URLs
- example.com/product
- example.com/corporate
- example.com/data
- example.com/users
in which an overview of the latest content published in that group is shown inside a set of panels.
Every group has an specific vocabulary of 4 terms in order to subdivide content classification a little bit more.
THE GOAL IS:
I want to build some pages with page manager so that when a visitor types an URL like example.com/product/foo a page with the same design as the others is shown but filtering the contents inside that group to those tagged as "foo".
To achieve this I've started creating a page variant that would deal with requests in the form /product/%tag with the condition that %tag is a term in the "product" group vocabulary.
Up to this point, this works. When a user browses to example.com/product/foo the page shows as it should, and when it browses to example.com/product/bar (bar is not in the vocabulary) a "page not found" message is displayed.
Inside the views manager I also created a content pane view with the contextual filter based on term ID that:
- When the filter is not available displays all results.
When the filter is available
- Specify validation criteria
- Validator: Taxonomy term
- Vocabularies: corporate, data, product, users
- Filter value type: Term name converted to term ID
- Transform dashes in URL to spaces...
- Action to take if filter doe not validate: Display content of "no result found"
THE PROBLEM:
The preview works well in the view admin page when providing the contextual filters but when I try it on the actual page, the "no results" found content is show.
Is there something I have to do with the "Argument input" option inside the views admin page? Am I trying to solve this issue twice by using page manager and contextual filters (should I use only one approach)?
