View page title from term description

Posted by tekken on June 29, 2008 at 1:54pm

Hi there.

I have a view page that displays only nodes which use a specific taxonomy term (filter). Now I want to display the description of this term as the title of the view page.

I searched the forums and tried out a couple fo things but to no avail. Any help appreciated!

1) Create a different template for the taxonomy page: http://drupal.org/node/104316

2) In the title of page-taxonomy.tpl.php

<h1 class="title">
<?php
$current = taxonomy_get_term(arg(2));
echo $current->description;
?>
</h1>

Thank you, tekken, for posting this solution.

I was able to just add this to my page.tpl.php file and it works great without having to create a new template file (in the original poster's post, they needed it as the page title.):

<?php $current = taxonomy_get_term(arg(2)); ?>
<?php if ($current): ?>
    <div class="taxonomy-description">
        <?php echo $current->description; ?>
    </div>
<?php endif; ?>

I placed this in page.tpl.php and it worked for all taxonomies under a vocabulary, but it did not work if I placed it in page-vocabulary.tpl.php. Any ideas why?

Also how do you do this for top level vocabularies because it didn't show up for the vocabulary when I did put it in page.tpl.php and only showed up for all the terms under the vocab...Thanks!!!

Yeah, I have a page-taxonomy.tpl.php but I think the php code needs to be something with taxonomy_get_vocabulary, but I don't know what it should be since trying different taxonomy_get_* didn't work....

You can also add this snippet right into the view's header by turning on PHP filter module and choosing PHP as the input format.
