Custom filter bits

Yes, the url settings in advanced did not offer enough text insertions that I desired. I'll elaborate more later, but that's the basic of it.

So I rethoght a bit how I'd want it to work

Basically I want terms to retain their own private page, but be filterable by taxonomy filter.

So using this patch I can

Set up/Use case:

advanced settings
path:
taxonomy/term/%arg2
output path:
taxonomy/term/%arg2%gets

taxonomy term view set up to take in one taxonomy tid term (one term)

Exposed filter (as block) that accepts taxonomy terms 'tid' *

Panel with the view attached, views exposed form not displayed.

stuff done in site's module thesite

/*potential replacements*/
function thesite_taxonomy_filter_format_path_args() {
  return array('arg2'=>'%arg2','gets'=>'%gets');
}
/*returns the placements I need*/
function thesite_taxonomy_filter_format_path($tids=array(),$depth = 0,$op = '') {
  $gets = $_GET;
  if (($k=array_search(arg(2),$tids))!==false) unset($tids[$k]);
  
  if ($tids) $gets['tid'] = $tids;
  else unset($gets['tid']);
  
  $query = drupal_query_string_encode($gets, array('q'));
  return array(
    '%arg2'=> arg(2),
    '%gets' => (!empty($query)?'?'.$query :'') ,
  );
}
/*Alters the tokens based on arg2 and $_GET*/
function thesite_taxonomy_filter_format_path_token_arg_alter(&$token,$filter_line) {
  if ($token['arg2']) {
    if ($_GET['tid']) {
      $gets = $_GET['tid'];
      $gets[] = $token['arg2'];
      $token['tids'] = implode(',',$gets);
    }
    else $token['tids'] = $token['arg2'];
  }
}

so at taxonomy/term/ I can use taxonomy filter to filter the view :D, and still retain terms private taxonomy/term/tid, still path aliased. I think that's cool XD!

(Additional coolness would be to limit what nodes the count function counts on, and explode a changeable tid from display in the filters, though if anything I can do that by overriding a theme function I suspect.).

*(Er, that term exposed filter is one that accepts multiple vocabularies, a custom filter of mine; @ http://github.com/hefox/vocabulary/blob/master/views_handler_filter_term...) .
