Filtering Content based on URL arguments from Calendar Module

Question

I have a page for the Calendar module on my site. Below the calendar, I have a table view that displays links based on taxonomy terms that correspond to the year-month format of the calendar module URL arguments (which change when the user changes the calendar month). I'm new to Drupal and can't figure out how to filter these results based on whether or not the content term matches the URL arg from calendar. Do I use contextual filters? Thanks for the help.

edit: I should mention I am using Drupal 7.

Answer 1

I am not exactly sure what you mean. Could your provide an example of what the URL looks like? Off the top of my head I think that you would just want to use view arguments.

Answer 2

You could accomplish this with a PHP filter on the view. Make sure to add Content:nid as a field in the view, set to exclude from display. First load the node info and see what it contains by using dpm():

<?php
$node = node_load($row->nid);
dpm($node);
?>

You should then be able to access the node's taxonomy term with:

$term = $node-> Something Here From dpm();

From here you could compare $term to arg(1) and return FALSE if they match.
