Using VIEWS to show content based on URL, generated by PathAuto.
Hi,
I am looking at ways to control what visitors to the site see and I have worked out how to use views to show content based on content type and by taxonomy. However I am struggling to use views to show content based on the URL [that has been created by PathAuto].
For example part of my test site [www.anotherusefor.com] has a section relating to food and a typical url is http://anotherusefor.com/personal/withoutcooks/2009/11/node-name-here. I would like to create a view that shows nodes with that has personal in the URL. personal/withoutcooks/2009/11/ has been created by PathAuto.
The reason for this is to create a section of the site that shows information from different contributors and does not worry what the node type is.
Is this possible and how is it acheived?
Many thanks in advance for your assistence.

I tend to use taxonomy to
I tend to use taxonomy to place content in "sections", in this case one of the sections would be 'personal'. Otherwise you have "rules" for which content gets paths starting with "personal" and it is most likely vocabulary, taxonomy or content type(s) all of which can be used by views.
Hi nevets, Thanks for you
Hi nevets,
Thanks for you prompt reply. I was wondering if using the URL was the 'wrong' way to go, maybe not the best anyway.
You mention
How do you create these rules, I can not seem to find the right option in Views.
Cheers
The point about "rules"
The point about "rules" apply to pathauto, you tell it when to make aliases starting with "personal". Since the "rule" is likely based on vocabulary, taxonomy term or content type you should be able to make a view that pulls the appropriate content.
