Views module: overwriting existing Drupal paths

I am sure an expert will come along and give a better explanation, but I am pretty sure this is the intented function.

The views module was written to display custom ways of viewing content, at the paths set in the module. They are intented to supercede the default way of displaying items (like the normal taxonomy displays).

I am sure hoping this behavior is not depreciated in the future as I am designing my site on the stability of the views module rendering such paths.

-Gman

When I create a new taxonomy/term view it overrides views for all vocabularies but I need it only for one and keep the default view for the rest. Anyone knows how to restrict this view to a specific vocabulary?

Hi, I've this issue for you folks: I'm doing a Flickr-like site using Drupal 5.3. I've installed these modules: Views, CCK, Imagefield for CCK, Imagecache, Pathauto and Token.
Well, after I made new content type (photo entry) with CCK + Imagefield (using imagecache, too), I've done a new vocabulary for photo's tags, then I've assigned new url alias with pathauto and token like this:

• Pattern for all Photo paths: photo/[user]/[nid]
• Pattern for all Photo tags paths: photo/tags/[catpath]

Then I've made a new View for viewing all photos linked to a specific tag using the path photo/tags/#name-of-tag. This is the export of that view:

$view = new stdClass();
  $view->name = 'foto_tags_view';
  $view->description = 'Visualizza le foto associate a un tag';
  $view->access = array (
);
  $view->view_args_php = '';
  $view->page = TRUE;
  $view->page_title = 'Foto per il tag "%1"';
  $view->page_header = '';
  $view->page_header_format = '1';
  $view->page_footer = '<div id="bot_views_foto"><h4>Sfoglia per tag</h4><?php
  $vid = 1;         /* <---- put correct vocabulary ID here */
  /* $show_pic = module_exists(\'taxonomy_image\'); */
  echo \'<div class="tag_cloud_foto">\';
  $terms = taxonomy_get_tree($vid);
  /* while (list($count, $term) = taxonomy_term_count_nodes($term->tid)) $terms[$term] = $count;
  $massimo = max($terms);
  $minimo = min($terms);
  $distribution = ($max - $min) / 5; */
  
    foreach ($terms as $term) {
		$count = taxonomy_term_count_nodes($term->tid);
		
		$massimo = max($terms);
		$minimo = min($terms);
		$distribution = ($massimo - $minimo) / 5;
		
		if ($count == $minimo) {
			$tag_class = "moltopiccolo";
		}
		elseif ($count == $massimo) {
			$tag_class = "enorme";
		}
		elseif ($count > ($minimo + ($distribution * 2))) {
			$tag_class = "grande";
		}
		elseif ($count > ($minimo + $distribution)) {
			$tag_class = "medio";
		}
		else {
			$tag_class = "piccolo";
		}
	
		echo \'<span class="\'.$tag_class.\'">\' .l($term->name,\'photo/tags/\'.$term->name, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, TRUE).\'</span>\';
   } /* end foreach */
  echo \'</div>\';
?>
</div>';
  $view->page_footer_format = '2';
  $view->page_empty = '';
  $view->page_empty_format = '1';
  $view->page_type = 'list';
  $view->url = 'foto/tags';
  $view->use_pager = TRUE;
  $view->nodes_per_page = '24';
  $view->sort = array (
    array (
      'tablename' => 'node',
      'field' => 'created',
      'sortorder' => 'DESC',
      'options' => 'normal',
    ),
  );
  $view->argument = array (
    array (
      'type' => 'taxletter',
      'argdefault' => '1',
      'title' => '%1',
      'options' => '0',
      'wildcard' => '',
      'wildcard_substitution' => '',
    ),
    array (
      'type' => 'node_feed',
      'argdefault' => '2',
      'title' => '',
      'options' => '',
      'wildcard' => '',
      'wildcard_substitution' => '',
    ),
  );
  $view->field = array (
    array (
      'tablename' => 'node_data_field_immagine_foto',
      'field' => 'field_immagine_foto_fid',
      'label' => '',
      'handler' => 'content_views_field_handler_ungroup',
      'options' => 'foto-thumb_linked',
    ),
    array (
      'tablename' => 'term_node_2',
      'field' => 'name',
      'label' => '',
      'options' => 'link',
    ),
  );
  $view->filter = array (
    array (
      'tablename' => 'node',
      'field' => 'status',
      'operator' => '=',
      'options' => '',
      'value' => '1',
    ),
    array (
      'tablename' => 'node',
      'field' => 'type',
      'operator' => 'OR',
      'options' => '',
      'value' => array (
  0 => 'foto_entry',
),
    ),
  );
  $view->exposed_filter = array (
  );
  $view->requires = array(node, node_data_field_immagine_foto, term_node_2);
  $views[$view->name] = $view;

Well, if I go to photo/tags/#name-of-a-tag Drupal returnes to me the taxonomy page list instead of the view I've made.
Is there a way to override taxonomy path with custom view path?
