Is it possible to display dynamic result based on the URL, with the Views module?

I have a database table with thousand messages, and I would display those containing the words in the URL. For example, with test.com/variableparent/variableschild, it should display the text containing the variables_child variable.

I tried with the filter, but I have to put a specific word, not a dynamic one.

  • @ReesGargi I take the OP is not talking of entity references, but rather a plain database table containing messages.

You can do this using Views Argument Substitutions and I'm just assuming the Title field here. It should work for any text field.

  1. Add some Global: Null contextual filters to take each raw component of the url. (Provide default: Raw Value from URL 2 / 3 / 4 etc.
  2. In your views filters, add Title: Contains: ***!1***. Repeat this for however many url components there are. ***!2*** ***!3*** etc. for each Title filter.
  3. Use AND / OR in between your Title filters section to control your final result.
