Drupal 6: I have a view (version 2) with an exposed filter on taxonomy term name. The provided exposed widget is a text field with 'Apply' button. What I'm trying to do is to have a drop down populated from a specific vocabulary ('Provinces' vocab consisting of terms 'BC', 'AB', 'SK', etc.), not a free text field.
I thought once I expose the filter I would get the option for a select list, but I don't. All I get is 'Operator (Is equal to, Is not equal to, etc.)' - 'Value (blank field)' - 'optional (check box)'...
I thought that this would be a pretty common thing to do but all my google-ing has found no answer.
Anybody know of a way to do this?
You have to expose the The taxonomy term ID not the The taxonomy term name in order to get the little gear icon so that you can get the drop-down.
I've using better_exposed_filters.
Click settings icon for exposed taxonomy filter and check "Dropdown list"!
just add vocab and terms
there are two areas where you can configure your taxonomy filter. First the "basic" settings, which include all settings you mentioned, and second the settings behind the "gear-icon", where you can chose your vocabbulary and the type of widget.

I have a Drupal 7 view similar to the one described here: Drupal 7 Views - list group by field
I wish to have all the groupby fields always appear even if there are not members of them and ideally I wish to put a default value in such a list.
eg:
Foo:
-Jay
-George
Bar:
-Barry
Boo:
Sorry no entries at this time!
Suggestions?
If none of what you are fetching with the view is associated with the group 'Boo' then the view doesnt know it exists, so would never be able to show it but say there is no results for it.
What i would recommend is creating a taxonomy vocabulary with the terms: Foo, Bar, Boo.
In whatever content type your names belong to, create a term reference field, and link them to the terms.
In the view, fetch the taxonomy terms, create a relationship to the content type that references the taxonomy, and pull those through based on that. There is a setting in views for multiple results to combine into one field (so you would want to do that). Then you could add the 'Sorry no entries at this time!' as a field's no results text.
So to recap: VIEW => TAXONOMY TERMS => NAME CONTENT
I have a glossary view, which is just the one that comes with Views. I want to allow users to filter the results by taxonomy terms (dropdown) and also by title (search field). The problem I'm running into is that when I click on a glossary letter (e.g. X) then I try to type in a search term that begins with something other than X (e.g. Cat) I get no results. The title search filter is basically just searching within the selected letter in the Glossary. So if I'm on the X page and I search for Cat nothing is found. If I would search for X-ray then that would appear.
Is there any way to make the title filter relatable to the entire view result and not just things that begin with the glossary letter than I have selected?
In the attachment of the view I've tried turning on the "Inherit exposed filters" option but that does not help.
This happens because the view has already a Contextual Filter in use that is filtering the query from the path arguments. That means that the exposed filter is adding a filter after the main filter from the path.
First of all, enable the "Show the SQL query" option on your views settings (admin/structure/views/settings). This way you will be able to see immediately what is going on.
Furthermore, you can set the contextual filter for the title for the Page views as
"WHEN THE FILTER VALUE IS NOT IN THE URL -> Display all results for the specified field" because by default it shows titles beginning with letter "a" in the first load.
So to achieve this you should remove any path argument that exists in the path due to the contextual filter (eg for the domain.com/l?title="some title here" you must have domain.com/?title="some title here", without the "l").
You could do this with the following methods:
Override Views Contextual Filter in View Exposed Form Validation
Redirect the page removing the last path argument, eg with Rules module or a drupal function
Use the fresh filter_harmonizer module!
And the winner is probably the filter_harmonizer module.
I have a Content-Type with taxonomy-terms. It's a select-list, so it can have only one taxonomy - at least of that vocabulary. Now I need to build a view that lists all nodes with the same taxonomy.
Thought that this wouldn't be too hard since it sounds pretty basic. Yet I can't get it working. Any ideas? I'm trying to avoid writing a module for this.
While this was technically possible with Views 2 as described in some of the other answers, Views 3 has this integration built in.
You can create an argument for the taxonomy term id and then choose "Provide default argument". This will then give you an option for "Taxonomy Term ID from URL" and "Load default argument from node page..."
This will allow you to take the taxonomy of a page and pass that as an argument to your view block.
Note: Views 3 is currently in Alpha 3 but in my experience is at a relatively stable state and I am using it on production sites. If it has features like the one above that you find useful please use it, test it and submit bugs/patches if you encounter any issues!
This answer works in Views version 2 or higher. First you need to install Views attach ( http://drupal.org/project/views_attach ). Please read about Views attach before proceeding further. Views attach is best explained by this video http://mustardseedmedia.com/podcast/episode37
Now we get to Views attach. Please enable the views attach module before proceeding. Essentially Views attach attaches a view at the end of the node. In our case our view will be a listing of other articles with the same term.
We will essentially need to "pass" the taxonomy term of the node to the view. Let the name of your Vocabulary be called MyVocab.
Steps to make the view.
Lets call the view display_other_articles_with_same_taxonomy.
Add a display of type Node Content (available after enabling Views attach). This is a display just like block and page displays but with special ability of attaching itself to the node.
Make the following settings in the Node Content Display
Node content settings
Node types: [select the content types you are interested in seeing the list of nodes with same taxonomy term]
Build modes: Teaser, Full node
Arguments: token
Show title: No
You should select Use tokens from the node the view is attached to under Arguments. Let the token be [term-id] This is the "ID of top taxonomy term". This is very important!! Essentially you are going to be passing the taxonomy term of the node from the MyVocab (See http://groups.drupal.org/node/11788#comment-38332). If it has the lowest weight, the taxonomy vocabulary will be the first vocabulary in the taxonomy section of your node edit form. Add an argument Taxonomy: Term Id.
Add the fields you are interested in e.g. Node: Title. Make sure the Node: Title is made into a hyperlink by ticking Link this field to its Node
So what this view is going to do is:
Take the taxonomy term from the MyVocab vocabulary in the Node that is currently being viewed
Pass that as argument to the view display_other_articles_with_same_taxonomy
List all the nodes that have the same taxonomy term as the node being displayed.
Thats it!
If you're using Views 3 (currently at alpha3 at the time of writing) and you want a block (right now the articles have same taxonomy term come at the end of node body) you can do it in the following fashion:
Forget about views attach... its not required
Add a block view. It should contain the same argument, fields and filters as the instructions above for the Node Content display.
You need to modify the settings for the argument Taxononomy: Term Id just slightly: Under Action to take if argument is not present: choose [x] Provide Default Argument. Choose [x] Taxonomy Term ID from URL. Now make sure [] Load default argument from term page is unselected and [x] Load default argument from node page, thats good for related taxonomy blocks. Also [x]Limit terms by vocabulary and choose the Series vocabulary.
Make sure you name the block and put it in the appropriate region.
Note: This answer is subset of the answer I provided at How to just show NodeQueue block on included nodes? In that scenario the requirement was that the related articles are explicitly selected and listed in a particular order. Its a little more complex and uses Nodequeues which we don't need here at all.
Use relationships
Node 1 -> Relationship 1 -> Term // This will be relationships->taxonomy->term
Term -> Relationship 2 -> Node 2 // This will be relationships->node->node
Argument NID to filter NODE 1
Fields or node full view on Relationship 2 (you will see select box on field adding form, to determinate what NODE to use)
Views gives you the options to add filters. Click the plus sign in the filters area of the views admin UI, select Taxonomy from the list, check either Term or ID, and fill in the value that you need to filter by.
EDIT (for explicit instructions):
First, add the necessary fields that you want under the fields section that you want to display from the nodes that you are trying to filter such as node title, etc.
Under Arguments, click the plus sign and select Taxonomy
Check Taxonomy: Term and click Add
Click Update
In your preview area test it out by adding an argument and clicking preview. If it doesn't work, your nodes do not have attached taxonomy, your views module is corrupted, or you didn't follow directions.
Briefly: I'm making a custom view, I want a field listing the two taxonomy terms associated with an NID to output as two distinct links which return arguments for the view (term1 to view/term1, term2 to view/term2. Rather, it outputs as one aggregated link (both term1 and term2 output view/term1%0Aterm2.
Am I doing something wrong or is this not possible?
Exhaustively:
I am constructing a view of products (with the page output at http://example.com/products) in an drupal ubercart site because the built-in ubercart catalog psuedo-view isn't doing it for me. Some of these products belong to more than one taxonomy term (within the same vocabulary) - for instance, product_example1 belongs to terms blue and glowinthedark, product_example2 red and glowinthedark, product-example3 just blue.
I've created an argument which limits the view based on terms like so: products/red, products/glowinthedark etc returns this nice view I made but only with products which are associated with taxonomy terms red, glowinthedark, etc - so works as it should. Views is awesome!
Now, I want each product shown in this view to link to the generated product/[term] page(s). Outputting the field "taxonomy:all terms" as a link with replacement argument products/[tid] works for one term (product_example3's field works for its one term: /products/blue (views is awesome!) , but, AND HERE'S THE PROBLEM, it DOESN'T FOR TWO TERMS (or I assume more than two terms). This is true whether the field is output as a list or using a simple seperator. So, for product_example one, the field lists both terms blue and glowinthedark (correctly separated as list items or with the chosen "," simple separator), but both terms output the relative link products/blue%0Aglowinthedark.
Is that clear? I haven't been able to google anyone with a similar situation, strangely, although I can't imagine I'm the first to run into this. I may just give up since it's not all that important and I can think of several less-satisfactory but still doable workarounds, but I thought you all might have some insight. The only thing that gives me hope is that when the "Link this field to its term page" check box is selected, views successfully outputs two separate line items with links to the two separate terms' pages.
I'm also posting this question on Drupal.org. Thanks for your time!
Hmmm... strange. I read your question carefully. However I am getting the results that you desire!
I have a taxonomy vocabulary that is multiple select (lets call it "Sector")
I have a taxonomy vocabulary that is single select (lets call it "Location")
In my fields section, I add Taxonomy: All Terms
In the settings for Taxonomy: All Terms I select "Output this field as a link". In there, I set the "Link Path" to product/[tid]
I make sure "Link this field to its term page" is NOT checked
I use a simple comma separator
"Limit terms to a specific vocabulary" checkbox does not matter. It would depend on your business requirements.
As required by you I get products/abc, products/xyz etc. one after another on a single line. This works even if a particular node has multiple terms from the same taxonomy vocabulary. I don't get any %0A stuff.
This works out of the box for me. I tried with both views 2.11 and views 3.0-alpha3
Try upgrading to the latest version of views and see if you have better luck?
I am using Drupal 6, and Views 2.
For example, term has the alias “vocabulary/term1” (only one level, no nesting).
How do I obtain “term1” field for every item in View, displaying items of type Term?
The probably best/easiest way is to use the token of pathauto.
If you build links use the "output this field as link" feature, which converts the links to it's aliases automatically
