There are many ways to insert a view in Views2, but the best way is probably the following function:
From http://groups.drupal.org/node/10129 :
Note that this function passes any additional parameters to the View as Arguments.
<?php
/**
* Embed a view using a PHP snippet.
*
* This function is meant to be called from PHP snippets, should one wish to
* embed a view in a node or something. It's meant to provide the simplest
* solution and doesn't really offer a lot of options, but breaking the function
* apart is pretty easy, and this provides a worthwhile guide to doing so.
*
* @param $name
* The name of the view to embed.
* @param $display_id
* The display id to embed. If unsure, use 'default', as it will always be
* valid. But things like 'page' or 'block' should work here.
* @param ...
* Any additional parameters will be passed as arguments.
*/
function views_embed_view($name, $display_id = 'default') {
//... returns view output, ready to print.
}
?>Use page_1, page_2, block_1, block_2, ... as $display_id. You'll see the display IDs when hovering over the display names in Vews UI or in the URL when editing the displays.
Example:
<?php
print views_embed_view("taxonomy_term", "page_1", 123 );
?>123 is passed as the argument.
