I hope that title makes sense.

I have a View with 3 Page displays: one with path 'categories/%', one 'categories/%/a_z' and one 'categories/%/z_a'.

Each one is sorted differently using Overrides in the sort settings. The argument is a term ID converted to term name.

Once I have saved the View and setup all three displays to use the tabs (via views display tabs config), if I go to these URLs, I see the tabs:

categories/some_category/a_z
categories/some_category/z_a

Even if I go to URLs that aren't covered in the Views Path settings, I get the tabs:

categories/some_category/chickens
categories/some_category/cake

And those show the tabs and default display.

But if go to the URL ...

categories/some_category

I don't get the tabs.

For now, I can workaround this by altering my site's categories links via templates to go to something like 'categories/some_category/sort' and get the tabs, but I wondered if this could be tweaked in a future release.

Module works great for me otherwise. Thanks!

Argh. Once again, I am mistaken. What was happening was that my default page view was actually not being handled by the View containing VDT, but rather the taxonomy/term View, which doesn't have the VDT enabled. I deduced this was the issue when using Theme Developer from devel module, which showed that the tab-less View was in fact coming from a different View than my other sort Views.

False alarm. My bad.

In closing, the module works very well for me, and the only problems I've had are me occasionally wrestling with Views, by my own doing, and drinking too much coffee.
