Front page appears instead of requested nodes.

What do you have in the 'path' setting on the 'page' tab?

The same problem has been happening to me. I created 2 Page views with paths. They are nothing fancy. 1 displayed 10 'Story' nodes and the other displayed 10 'Quote' nodes (custom node type). The quotes view previewed correctly in the UI, however visiting the 'quotes' page displayed the contents of the 'stories' view I created. I disabled the 'frontpage' view like the post above said and the 'quotes' displayed correctly but the 'stories' view now displays the 'quotes' view. Is there an eta on the next version of Views? If it's going to be a while, I will need to look into php snippets.

I plan to do alpha4 soon, by the end of this week at the latest.

Question: Does this happen in -dev as well?

I am experiencing this exact issue in alpha4. I'm going to try dev as well.

Do you also experience the same problem experienced in http://drupal.org/node/239428 -- these seem conceptually as though they may be related.

Like that one, I can't duplicate this one. I've tried two different PHP versions (5.1.6 and 5.2.5) and no dice; everything works perfectly for me.

I have a similar problem...

1.) I modified the frontpage view to add a filter by a single type, return only 1 node...no other changes.
2.) I added a new view that listed 10 nodes of a different type.

The frontpage view is now picking up the wrong type. In other words, its filtering by the type in the second view. All other settings appear to be correct.

http://drupal.org/node/239115 is duplicate of this.

Rather http://drupal.org/node/241335 is duplicate.

I've just committed one other thing that may fix this. Anyone who is experiencing this who is using cvs, can you please cvs up, hit your admin/build/modules page (or save a view), and then see if this is still happening?

Everyone who has this problem, please report your PHP version. And will someone please let me know if -dev still has this issue?

Also, if someone who can reproduce this issue would be willing to give me shell access to a test site for about 30 minutes, I can probably figure out what's wrong.

More info for this bug:

I'm playing with all views with page and only show the fisrt one (unable the frontpage and you can see one of the other views, but only one, if you remove "this one" you can see the next one)

With traces in the code, aparently fails the "getpath()" method, this one allways return the same path for all views's pages.

This problem affect only for pages, the block representation of views works fine.

rormartin: Thank you, that is very valuable information! It gives me another place to look.

Similar issue. (I'm new to Drupal, so I'll try to explain clearly) View preview at the bottom of the View module page shows expected results based on settings. However, the page created from the links on the web site don't show the view created, but the default CCK view.

Also, in the administer >> site building >> views >> edit page, I've created a page view, assigned path and menu values (that get saved), but when I preview the query at the bottom of the page I get a blank/null title next to Title and "this display has no path" next to Path.

PHP version 4.4.7
MySQL 4.1.22-standard
Drupal Core 6.1 (installed via Fantastico/Cpanel)
CCK 6.x-1.x-dev
CCK fields are content permissions, content templates, fieldgroup, node reference, number, user reference (but only using text fields so far)
Views 6.x-2.0-alpha4 (and enabled Views UI)
Con Templates 6.x-0.7 (enabled but haven't touched it)

Thanks!

[Note: I disabled frontpage (adminster >> site building >> views >> List (disable frontpage) and it now works. So resolved.]

I managed to reproduce this on a PHP4 installation and found the culprit. PHP does some weird things with references sometimes. Anyway, I checked in the fix.

On the same configuration as before, and I think it doesn't works with alpha5 version. Updated from alpha 4, CCK too. In the preview OK, but on the frontpage not...

Yes, I found the problem the day after I released alpha5. If you try the -dev version I think you'll find this fixed.

Sorry if this is a dumb question, Im pretty new and have been having the same problem. Where can I get the dev version? alpha 5 is the newest I see

At the end of the page.

Nice work, thank you!

Awesome! Fixed! Thanks!

Yep, I can confirm this is fixed with the -dev version :-)

I have a problem with views alpha5. I have several views as a block but only the latest created view is shown in block list.

I use PHP 4.4.8 in my web hosting
MYSQL 4.1.22-standard-log

Thanks

So I was playing around with Alpha-5 and it would not display my views correctly so I changed to the -dev version as reccomended and tried a couple things without success. My views were only coming up "Page not found" and then an out of memory error occurred and now my whole site is "Page not found" now. I cannot even navigate to node/1 etc...

I removed all entries in the database related to views and deleted the modules/views directory as well but I cannot figure out how to get my site back up!

PLEASE HELP

OK ... I managed to get it fixed by running the update.php and it seems to have reset whatever went haywire. I installed Alpha-4 and tried again but I was only able to get the first node type working when I disabled the frontpage view and only if I did not add anymore views.

So it seems like it works for now but with only 1 view max until this bug is figured out.

Views is pretty sweet so I hope we can fix this in the next few days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

alpha4 is a version out of date. Of *course* it still has this bug, it wasn't fixed until after alpha5, as I said in this issue.

Yeah I installed Alpha-4 later because I tried 5 already and wanted to see if there was a difference.

Hi guys,

This issue apears to have been fixed but please help me. I have been battling with this for some time now, I created a view for members on my site but I kept having this erorr message:"This display has no path." what could posibly be the problem? I did the path setup but can't seem to know what more to do.

These are all technical solutions. But they weren't why one of my pages would not load and instead visitors were taken to the front page.

It took a bit of finding but it all came down to human error. Mine.

These days, I work in D9 or 10 but I have a couple of things still on 7.

There's a difference between 7 and the later versions in the URL box.

For 9 and 10, a leading slash is required.

For 7 it must not be put there.

So, new habits die hard and I put the leading slash when I created a page in 7.

This in or not-in situation was not a problem when this thread began but perhaps my error might help someone now.
