Hello,
For a website I'm currently working on I have a simple category hierarchy with one container and three categories in it.

With category_views it's possible to associate a view to a particular container, however, I'd need to associate different views for the categories (one of the categories will usually contain lots of data, so it should be a table view, the other two ones should have a regular excerpt-based listing).

I created the view and changed the menu link, so menu is now pointing to the view instead of the normal listing. However, the links on the container page are of course still pointing to the regular listing.

Is this already possible somehow?

If not, this can be seen as a feature request. I'd be glad to work on it myself, but I thought I'd ask here before I start spending my time on something that can maybe achieved in a simple way (without hacking category module?).

Best regards,
frando

Title: Different Views for different categories » Different Views for different categories within a container

Is this already possible somehow?

Not easily, as far as I know. I suspect it may be possible with some themeing.

I took the liberty of changing the title and also making this a feature request:-)
