Taxonomy term block linked to a view

Question

I have a list of Authors listed as taxonomy terms . I also have a view list of Contents named Topics

I need to display the taxonomy terms of Authors in a View block (lets say in the home page). and then link each term to its related content view page (displayed as List).

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

You need to have 2 views:

First view: Author's content:

1. View should be a page.
2. Add all the required field.
3. set path to be like author/%/content.
4. Add a contextual filter for the content taxonomy term field (author).

Second view: Authors list

1. View should be a block.
2. Add field with term ID (author ID) and mark it to be excluded.
3. Add field with term name (author name).
4. Mark the term name output field to be overridden as a link.
5. Set author name as link text
6. Set author/[tid]/content as link path. (You can find correct value for term id in token replacements)

P.S. If you use panels it will be a bit different.

P.P.S. You can use standard taxonomy/term/% for the "First view: Author's content" view.
