The next part of the new gallery that I want to implement is to group the
galleries by their respective categories. The first step is to edit my original
photo_gallery view and add an additional display.
I've called it 'Taxonomy', and it's similar to the original 'All Galleries'
view. The differences are that I've added the taxonomy term as an argument,
removed the header, and updated the path to be gallery/%. The other thing that
I need to do is overwrite the output of the original 'All Galleries' View by
creating a file called views-view--photo-gallery--page-1.tpl.php and placing
it within my theme directory.
Within that file, I can remove the standard content output. This still outputs
the heading information from the original View. I can now use the function
called 'views_embed_view' to embed my taxonomy display onto the display. The
views_embed_view function is as follows:
To reduce the amount of code needed, I can use the following 'while' loop to
generate the same code for each taxonomy term. It dynamically retrieves the
relevant taxonomy terms from the database, and uses each name as the argument
for the view.
<?php
$terms = db_query("SELECT * FROM {term_data} WHERE vid = 1");
while ($term = db_fetch_array($terms)) {
print '<h3>' . $term['name'] . '</h3>';
print views_embed_view('gallery', 'page_2', $term['name']);
}
?>
Was this useful?
