I want to print a couple of views on one page. I'm using this

$view1 = views_get_view('article_queue_large/1');
//output the view
print views_build_view('embed', $view1);

My view has url value of article_queue_large and takes a queue id as an argument.

I can view different nodequeues thanks to the argument, but I don't know how to pass the argument into the embeded view.

Can an embed view take arguments?

Silly me - I was using the page view url instead of the view name as the function argument... case closed!

Finaly while I solved one issue, it seems I do have a problem passing arguments to embeded views.

I can pass the argument '1' like this:

//load the view by name
$view1 = views_get_view('large_teaser_queue');
//output the view
print (views_build_view('embed', $view1, '1'));
print_r ($current_view->args);

I can pass the argument '2' like this:

//load the view by name
$view1 = views_get_view('large_teaser_queue');
//output the view
print (views_build_view('embed', $view1, '2'));
print_r ($current_view->args);

But if I try to pass the argument '17' like this:

//load the view by name
$view1 = views_get_view('large_teaser_queue');
//output the view
print (views_build_view('embed', $view1, '17'));
print_r ($current_view->args);

The view reacts as if I had passed the argument '1'.

Does this parameter only take into consideration the first character of the argument?

arguments should be an array()

Got it! Thanks.

In case someone else searches for this late at night :

$view2 = views_get_view('double_teaser_queue');
//output the view
$args[0] = '17';
print views_build_view('embed', $view2, $args);
