I am trying to use a custom view to display for my Taxonomy Menu. I have the taxonomy settings for the menu as a custom using path of view

My view has a path: view/%1/%2

with my arguments being:
Taxonomy: Parent term
Taxonomy: Term

My view seems to work but the Taxonomy Menu is acting like the path is not being found. No Taxonomy Terms are added to the menu. I am probably missing something simple, but have read through the readme without being able to figure this out.

I'll be glad to write up a "recipe" for this. Could I get some help figuring out what I am doing wrong?

Thanks,

There is a recipe in the read me. See the bottom of "PATH TYPES and INTEGRATION WITH VIEWS MODULE"

Try changing the path to "view/%"

I am a having very similar issues or difficulties.

I'm using Taxonomy path and path auto
I'm under the impression that taxonomy path creates a url based on the term, even though it seems to default to term id. I can't seem to get this to work. My taxonomy is very simple, a vocab with terms that have no further relationships between them. So I use the vocab name as a menu item and have TP create the pathes. No matter how I do it, it always creates urls with the term ids, not the actual term. I've seen the readme, the relevant excerpts seem to be these, though do not help at all:

VIEWS WITH MENU PATH TYPE: CUSTOM
You need to have a view with path 'custom path/%' and an argument 'Term ID' before you create the taxonomy menu.
To use the 'Display Depth in Custom Path:' option, the path in the view has to be 'custom path/%/%'"
The two arguments must be 'Term ID (with depth)' and 'Depth Modifier'. Have this view setup before you create the taxonomy menu.
* If using Path Auto, the URL passed to the code it taxonomy/term/$tid.
* Menu Items are Path Alias aware and compatible with PATHAUTO.

I was guessing that perhaps another argument had to be created with the custom view which was the taxonomy term and be assigned the title of %2 or %3 and substituted in the path. No not this way either.

If you could please, please, please specify how this might be acheived:
The creation of a menu based on a vocabularies terms.

I would be very happy to write this up and spread the joy of taxonomy menu.

I found this doc and tutorial on view arguments, looking through it now...
