Hi,
on my views (teaser) taxonomy views, I would like to allow user to choose to sort them by newest or alphabetically.

The way I see it is with some tabs.

Cordially,
Brakkar

Like on http://www.angrydonuts.com/articles, where I have 2 tabs -- newest and Alphabetical?

I just use 2 different views for that, and give them menu-as-tab entries. Works great.

Can you do this for taxonomies without creating a view for each taxonomy term ?

(changed the title to specify the suggestion)

Hi,
actually, this is not fixed so I just reopened this.

Yes merlin, you can achieve this with two views of course.... but I will not create two views for my 500+ taxonomies ^^ .

It would be good to have a way (tabs or simple link...) on the taxonomy_term view page generated by views, to let user switch from newest to alphabetical. Why ? Because a user may browse an entire taxonomy to find a particular entry, in which case he will prefer to brows alphabetically, but the same user might just as well want to see what's new in the taxonomy and will switch to newest sorting. I don't see why alphabetical should be prioritized over newest and vice versa.... at a point or another user will want to switch.

Cordially,
Brakkar

Geez, cause creating a second view is so painful.

Override the taxonomy/term view
change the URL to taxonomy/term/$arg/newest
give it a menu tab
set this one to default

Clone the taxonomy/term view

change the name to something like taxonomy_alpha
change the url to taxonomy/term/$arg/alpha
change the sort appropriately
set it up to have a menu tab
save
done.

Thanks a lot, so easy, so powerful.

I created a book page about this:

This works great!

However, now the breadcrumb is broken on my taxonomy pages, since it says "Home > taxonomy term", the latter linking to .../taxonomy/term, which of course does not exist. (see here: http://www.marzeion.com/night).
Any way to fix this?

Thanks for your help!
Ben.

I decided to simply remove the breadcrumb - didn't make much sense for my site anyway...

How could do I activate these tabs only for terms of certain vocabularies, leaving the rest of vocabularies and terms unmodified? Thank you!

The pretty URLS that pathauto generate get ruined in the Tabs provided by altering this view. A simple Fix Merlin?

Edit: Late when I posted this, sorry for being unclear. The URLS for the additonal tabs (default tab url is fine) get changed to taxonomy/term/term #

Example: Sorting taxonomy with extra views like below.

foo/bar/apples/newest (default menu tab is 100% fine)

taxonomy/term/(term#)/alphabetical (extra tabs get url changed back to taxonomy term)
taxonomy/term/(term#)/mostcommented

Do people need to change the view URL? Or?

Closing, this version of views is not supported anymore.
