I made a replacement Setup with beta5 for d6 and ended up with something like this:

Created Aliases
realm/%/books/Goodkind
realm/%/books/Hennen
realm/%/books/Tolkien

Views2 Path
realm/%/books/2
realm/%/books/3
realm/%/books/1

Instead of replacing the % letters the arguments were appended

My Views Url is: realm/%/books

Thank you for your wonderful work with this module!

heh, I knew there was a use case out there that gave way to supporting tokens.

Now just have to figure out how. Might be pretty easy. I think pathauto probably covers this somewhere, so I can probably just use something from their API.

I'm changing this to a feature request instead of a bug, since I never thought to cover taxonomy replacement, just appending.

I do have one question about your URL, realm/%/books. Does 'books' have any meaning? Is it needed by the view as an argument?

It would also help if you could export your view and attach it so I can see how you are setting it up. It will give me a good test case.

Hi Emackn

I'm currently in Singapore. And it seems, that Singapore for me is a bit further away from the internet :)

realm/%/books links to a views page. books itself is not an argument, it just there to have realm/%/xyz free for other listings, eg. characters, movies etc.

Here is my View:

$view = new view;
$view->name = 'books';
$view->description = 'List all Books';
$view->tag = '';
$view->view_php = '';
$view->base_table = 'node';
$view->is_cacheable = FALSE;
$view->api_version = 2;
$view->disabled = FALSE; /* Edit this to true to make a default view disabled initially */
$handler = $view->new_display('default', 'Defaults', 'default');
$handler->override_option('fields', array(
  'teaser' => array(
    'label' => '',
    'alter' => array(
      'alter_text' => 0,

Is it possible to have alias for views with two place holders like my-site.com/category/%/% Both place holders are term ids from different vocabulary. Relevant issue here
