Hi, I'm having a strange problem with selecting a view display on vocabularies and terms.

I've created a clone of the taxonomy/term view, and selected it in the vocabulary. I edit the vocabulary I want to use the view, select the view in the first drop down, select the view display from the second, ensure the override box is ticked and save.

However, when I go to the taxonomy vocabulary page I see that it's not displaying the right view. When I go back into the edit page the right view is still selected, but the view display has defaulted back to the top of the list. The override box is ticked.

Any ideas as to what's happening? I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the module, deleting and recreating the views and creating new vocabularies, but I still can't get it to work.

I'm getting this same issue. Did you ever figure out what the problem was?

I found that with the latest ctool module (7x-1.0-rc1), the TVI DEV module would not work. When I installed the last ctools module (7.x-1.0-beta1), the TVI worked.

Not sure what module is to blame.

Subscribe.

When I come back to a term, the TVI form settings are not defaulted correctly. It also is not applying my view override selection on the term page.

I tried using both CTools versions. No go.

I ended up using this module: http://drupal.org/project/taxonomy_display.

The only drawback is that you select the view per vocabulary, instead of per term. But it worked for my case and was very easy to setup.

Has anyone taken a look at this? Very annoying/confusing bug that affects functionality of this module. I cannot pinpoint the issue.

Same issue here.
And btw http://drupal.org/project/taxonomy_display does not override taxonomy/term/% .

kevinquillen’s picture

That's fine, in this specific case I just needed a Vocabulary override and not term based. But would really like this to be solved because I prefer using TVI.

the display was inputted in database together with view_id like this 5:page and should be like this page

simple patch should have the tvi vocabulary settings saved/displayed properly and the taxonomy overrides working again

please patch / test and report back

I continue to have this issue when using TVI in d7 with multiple overridden taxonomy types. I use two different views for three different taxonomy terms. TVI displays one style on both types.

Did you try the patch ? please report

Yes. In vocabulary edit page it displays correct views, but unfortunately when I go to taxonomy page, it didn't use this views at all. Any idea? Default taxonomy/term views isn't overrided.

In the project page says the d7 version is unstable so I guess it is unusable also

has anybody successfully used the module to override the taxonomy/term/& pages ?

amogiz’s picture

Same issue despite of the parch and really need this module.
Is there any other way to get a different view for each term ?
Thanx

giorgosk’s picture

Try these similar projects that have more mature D7 code
http://drupal.org/project/taxonomy_display
or might be able to do it with
http://drupal.org/project/eva

amogiz’s picture

Sorry but we need your project in fact :)
Because we need a different view for different term.
Taxonomy_Display can't do this.
Thanx in advance !!!!

amogiz’s picture

I am really sorry to insist but is it plan to make it work ?
I do not want to be impolite but i am waiting day after say and my Website too :)

AniaMi’s picture

I'm waiting too :)

+1, i'm waiting too :)

ron williams’s picture

As with #4, I moved to http://drupal.org/project/taxonomy_display. Hope this helps with those still waiting.

Tks Williams for your help.

As you said : The only drawback is that you select the view per vocabulary, instead of per term.
But i can rearrange my taxonomy ...

I never did get this working. In the end I went with using panels pages to override the taxonomy display. For what I wanted it for it was actually quite a bit more flexible than tvi as you can use multiple views and add them to the taxonomy pages as you would with a normal panel page.

Here's a guide I found useful: http://drupaleasy.com/blogs/ultimike/2010/10/taxonomy-term-pages-steroid...

You may want to try the patch at: http://drupal.org/node/1357920
Though you should reinstall as i did not create a upgrade function for the schema

#22 Great works for me!

Very nice module!

At the end I did this with Taxonomy Display. It is vocabulary based. Can't do for term based needs. Just have to take care not to put taxonomy/term/% for views paths. You have to put something else there to work properly; e.g. fruits/%

#22: how about committing #1357920: Several fixes to get even more test feedback from the dev version?

kitikonti’s picture

new ctools version dont helps
#22 also dont helps, only brings much errors

kevinquillen’s picture

The latest dev release has changes that make the view display stay selected. Please try it out and report any issues.

kevinquillen’s picture

Was able to get this to work. You can use taxonomy/term/% in your view paths, and set the vocab or term to use it (be sure to check off use view override).

Will release alpha2 of tonights round of changes.

After installing the latest dev version (released 02/01/13), I can't customize the view display option. I have 2 page displays in the view I'm using to override and it always reverts to the last one on both the vocabulary and term edit pages. This was right after DuaelFr was so awesome and quick to respond to my issue here: http://drupal.org/node/1904408 (Thanks again DuaelFr!). Just wanted to make you aware of this possible side effect of the latest round of changes.

Just tested after coming back from the weekend. It IS saving the chosen display, it's just not accurately reflecting it in the settings. Started a new issue here: http://drupal.org/node/1907394
