Hi guys,

I am looking for displaying a view using php code for a particular node id. I have found this code working. 

$view = views_get_view('my_view');
print $view->preview('default');

This code is also working

print views_embed_view('my_view', 'default', $node->nid);

I need to show the view for a particular node id. The codes above displays the whole block. Can I know how to show a particular content with a particular node id( for example node id=4).

Expecting a little help as I am stuck here for a while.

Your view needs to have a contextual filter for the Content: Nid . The contextual filter is the same as a view argument.

In this case, you are passing the $node variables nid as an argument:

print views_embed_view('my_view', 'default', $node->nid);

You can also do this with the other code: 

$view = views_get_view('my_view');
print $view->preview('default',$node-nid);

You can pass as many arguments as your view has contextual filters

print views_embed_view('my_view', 'default', $node->nid, $arg2, $arg3);

Thanx for the reply. But my issue is not yet solved. The node id is passed along with the link (nid=4). In the required page, I get it using the php code ($_GET['nid']). Now I need to display the view for this particular id.

print views_embed_view('my_view', 'default', $node->nid);


Instead of $node->nid, I want to keep it as $nid.

$nid = $_GET['nid'];

Please help me out. Thanks in advance.

I'm not sure what your question is exactly. Also, I am unsure what your context for this code is. Are you using it in a hook or a custom module? What URL are you using?

Did you try this?

$nid = $_GET['nid'];
print views_embed_view('my_view', 'default', $nid);

I had tried it. Its not working. Its displaying the whole contents in the view. I want a single content to be displayed with the node id $nid.

In my case I have three contents in the view with id's 3,4 and 5. I wanted to display just one. I passed id=4. But that didn't wok. Instead, its showing all the three contents.

Any idea ?

Does your view have a contextual filter on Content: Nid ? Does your view work in Preview mode when using the node id?

Also, you still have not presented your complete or explained how or where you are using it.

Normally, I used to show a view in the required pages wherever I want and then used to have a Node: Link (a link to the original content displayed in the page.tpl.php). Now I intend to connect this link to another view of same content type in another page. What I have done so far is this,

1. created 2 blocks(views) of the same content type. (my_view1 & my_view2)

2. In the first view (my_view1), I added a Content: Nid. Excluded this field from display.

3. Then I added a Global: Custom text. Under Rewrite results, I used "Output this field as a link" option. Set Link path as pagename?nid=[nid] . I got [nid] from Replacement Pattern.

4. Now I am getting the redirection link correctly (Eg : /pagename?nid=4).

5. I picked the id in the redirected page using basic php code. 

$nid = $_GET['nid'];


What I need now is

Now I need to display the second view, my_view2 for a single content. The content id is there in the page, $nid. I need a code to display it. This is all I need to do.

print views_embed_view('my_view2', 'default', $node->nid);


Is there any option to pass this $nid to the above code and display the view for a single content.

$view = views_get_view('my_view2');
print $view->preview('default', $args);


The above method passes the argument to the view. I don't know how to pass the nodeid as the argument. I think its passed as an array. I am not sure about this. But I hope so.

Do you have any solution for my issue ??..

You still have not answered my first question. Does your view have a Contextual Filter defined? You can find Contextual Filters under advanced. Arguments will not work unless a contextual filter is defined.

Thank you dear..

There was a lot of trouble in understanding what you meant. But I have done it now. The problem was my reluctance to understand the concept of Contextual filters. I just placed an argument by filtering nid in the contextual filters.

Thank you a lot for the help. Just can't literally express it.
