Issue Summary

Hi there,

Sorry if I am overlooking the obvious, but I am brand new to Drupal and CMSs. I am trying to troubleshoot an existing contextual filter for authors by author ID that I inherited. The problem is from the setup screen it seems to work perfect, if I go to "Preview with contextual filters" in the Filter by Author ID" tab and type in 47 I see exactly the one publication I expected for this author ID. However, if I click on the same author's name on the deployed page I get a list of every single publication in our database. The URL it uses is "http://mydrupalsite/publications?f[author]=47". Since the contextual filter seems to be working by itself I am assuming the argument is being passed into the filter incorrectly, but I currently don't know where to start troubleshooting this yet. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

Kai

Off the top of my head, the one thing I can think of is... if you have set the "views" path to the same thing as the biblio path then you will have a problem because Views will override the internal biblio path so things like /publications?f[author]=47 won't work anymore.

Thank you very much, that gives me a place to start! I will keep you posted.
