Views Term Path Override

This module improves Views and Taxonomy integration by allowing to override the taxonomy term paths. This is done through an option of the Views Taxonomy term argument: a checkbox will be available on taxonomy term arguments whose display has the 'path' property; when the checkbox is active every URL pointing to taxonomy/term/<tid> will become <display_path>/<term_name>.

The configuration is strictly tied to the view display's one, as a consequence you do not need to specify a path for the URL rewriting (since it is inherited from the display), and if you change the path the URL rewritings are updated automatically.

If you wish a simple and seamless replacement for taxonomy pages through Views, you want this :)

Related modules

There are a couple of modules allowing to implement a similar functionality: Taxonomy Redirect and Taxonomy Views Integrator. The former allows to obtain the same result of this module through a far more advanced (and complex) configuration, while the latter allows to obtain a similar behavior but does not rewrite URLs.

Usage

Just enable Views Term Path Override, edit the view you wish to use to override taxonomy pages, select the page display and add a Taxonomy term argument. You will find a checkbox saying "Override taxonomy term path": check it and you are done.

Please note that the checkbox will appear only after defining a path for the display and making the display arguments override the default ones.

This is a test view that shows how to properly configure Views TPO, just import it through the Views import tool and start playing around.

Dependencies

This needs Views 6.x-2.x and Taxonomy enabled to work.

Future work

There is a plan to support also the Term ID argument.
