When I enable provided views, it works all right. But for one taxonomy dictionary (let's name it dictionaryname), I want to display users in that taxonomy, not nodes. So I disabled default view again and then:

  • I created "show users" view with path taxonomy/term/% and it fails to replace taxonomy page.
  • Then I changed path to dictionaryname/% - as path alias is set. But it fails as well.
  • I changed path to aaa/% and it works, so I know view on it's own works. It just fails to override default pages.

Any idea what am I doing wrong? And how can I get dictionaryname/% path to work? It looks like Drupal's router give original term pages precedence over my view.

  • I dont know if you are using tvi module or not, but latest version of module causes this problem, even if it's not used and is only enable

  • @Sohail I do not. Maybe I should? And maybe it's not exactly module's bug if I can get the very bug without module at all?

  • well I guess you can do exactly what you want with this module, try the latest dev version anyway and let me know if it works.

  • @Sohail tvi fails miserably, taxonomy practically does not work anymore. Not a way to go.

As per reviewing taxonomy_menu function, you need to replace path taxonomy/term/% with taxonomy/term/%taxonomy_term in "show users" view.

If you want to use path alias, set view path like this: dictionaryname/%taxonomy_term

Also, check Taxonomy and Views modules weights, make sure Views module weight is higher than Taxonomy module.

  • I don't quite get what are you trying to tell. Path in view does not work for me no matter is it taxonomy/term/% (as in provided, working view), taxonomy/term/%taxonomy_term or dictionaryname/%taxonomy_term. It looks like Drupal's router give original term pages precedence over my view.

  • I tried it before I post my answer. I was able to see the new created page view instead of the original taxonomy term view.

  • Lucky you. Now, what should I test to find out why my router does not work that way? :(

  • Thanks. Check Views module weight in system table, make sure its higher than Taxonomy module.

  • OK, this was the case. Now I really get the view I need. It's empty, but that's templating problem I guess. But it sets the correct title.

With reference to your question, here is a scenario that should help :: (This implementation was done for D6. It will also work for D7 with some changes)

// Say, module name is 'common_operations'

  1. Invoke hook_menu_alter

    //Overwriting term page display 
    if (isset($items['taxonomy/term/%'])) {
      $items['taxonomy/term/%']['title'] = '';// Give title you need
      $items['taxonomy/term/%']['page callback'] = 'common_operations_taxonomy_page_display_callback';
      $items['taxonomy/term/%']['page arguments'] = array(2);
      $items['taxonomy/term/%']['access arguments'] = array('access content');
    }  
  1. Defines 'common_operations_taxonomy_page_display_callback'
    
    function common_operations_taxonomy_page_display_callback($tid){
      $term = taxonomy_get_term($tid);
      switch($term->vid) {
        case 1: //Blog Tags vocab.
          $blog_tags  = '';
          ............................
        return $blog_tags;
        case 2: //Issues vocab.
          $issues  = '';
          ............................
        return $issues;
        case 3: //Tags vocab.
          $tags  = '';
          ............................
        return $tags;
        default:
          // Returns the default term page provided by taxonomy module.
          module_load_include('inc', 'taxonomy', 'taxonomy.pages');
        return taxonomy_term_page($tid);
      }
    }
    
  2. Here, Blog Tags, Issues, Tags are different vocabularies. So, whatever changes we need for different vocabulary term details pages, we can take care off independently.

Hope it helps.
