Hi all.

I have a wierd issue and I could do with some help.

I have a node node/123 with a path of animals/dogs/poodles. On each page within this node I have several CCK's:

1. Grooming
2. Specialist foods
3. Heath issues

I've created a page view to display the content of the 'grooming' CCK only and I want to be able to access this from the URL 'animals/dogs/poodles/grooming'. Drupal is throwing a bit of a wobbly because obviously that is an invalid path alias as far as it's concerned and I'm unable to use the contextual nid filter as 'animals/dogs/poodles/grooming' returns no node ID.

Does anyone have any idea how I can get round this?

Checkout views module & Path auto module

http://drupal.org/project/views

You have to set your views path to node/%/grooming where % is your contextual NID.

Use Path auto module to convert paths from node/%/grooming to animal/dogs/grooming based of node PATH ALIAS.

Hi Anil,

Thanks for the response - So I understand the first bit and that works fine. I now have a view that when I navigate to node/%/grooming I'm getting the data I want.

Pathauto is installed and currently configured to replace node/abc with animals/dogs/dog-breed already. How do I set it up to create additional paths automatically for each one?

So for example:

node/123 will have generic path of animals/dogs/poodle (this will display all content related to poodles)

based on the veiw I also need the following paths:

animals/dogs/poodle/grooming
animals/dogs/poodle/specialist-foods
animals/dogs/poodle/health-issues
