insert_view and arguments

What's the 'default' setting on that argument? That is what use Views to determine behavior if an argument is not provided. If you haven't set that or changed it, it defaults ot 'page not found' when you probably want either 'summary view' or 'show all values'.

Ohh! I understand.

Ok, you will need to use PHP to do what you want to do, now that I get it.

  $players = views_get_view('players');
  $games = views_get_view('games');
  $arg = array();
  if (arg(1)) {
    $arg[] = arg(1);
  }
  print views_build_view('embed', $players, $arg, false, $players->nodes_per_page);
  print views_build_view('embed', $games, $arg, false, $games->nodes_per_page);

That should work, permitting typos etc.

Aw crap. That code won't work in a node because of the way aliasing works.

Uh. You probably need to make a module and make it real page.

And looking at the code, I believe this has been implemented.

It has; that argument syntax works fine. Glad to see I'm not the only one who got confused by the "TODONE" :)

Thanks for a great feature. Use of arguments is a great way to customize page content using views in context.

I'm not quite clear on the syntax.

[view:viewname=5=arg1,arg2,arg3]

Does this mean arg1 = 5 AND arg2 = 5 AND arg3 = 5 ?

Or are agr2 and arg3 passed via the URL...

James

The 5 is the number of nodes to display and arg1, arg2, arg3 are the values you want to pass to the view as args. For example, you would do something like ...

[view:my_events_view=10=2006,09]

... to display the first 10 events for Sept 2006, if you had an view called 'my_events_view' set up to take the year and month as args.

@double2: You can leave the number of nodes to display blank, but you do need to have the = in there for it.

Some examples:

[view:viewname=5=arg1] will give you 5 nodes for viewname using arg1

without limiting the number of nodes:
[view:viewname=arg1] incorrect
[view:viewname==arg1] correct - will give you all nodes for viewname using arg1

Hi,

And how do I declare an insert view to use multiple arguments ?

I tried :

[view:viewname=4=arg1,arg2,arg3,arg4] => it show only one result
[view:viewname==arg1,arg2,arg3,arg4] => it show only one result too...

@zmove:

Your Insert View tag syntax is correct. Have you double-checked your views configuration?

Bookmarking, so using Insertview in a node can have arguments from the url, great!
how about performance issues, if you need it on several places.

greetings,
Martijn

closing all D5 issues

you can use arguments from url
