Hi There,
I am using this module and have it up and running doing very nearly what I wanted it to do.

The one thing is that I would like to have a context of Vocabulary Name, rather than Vocabulary ID. You can do this for terms, but not for Vocabs.

For example I want a page with an URL as;

mysite.com/derbyshire/belper

to show the panel I have set up for the town of 'Belper'. At the moment that doesnt work, but if I type;

mysite.com/2/belper

where '2' is the vocab ID of the county 'Derbyshire', everything works. So everything is working as it should do, but I would like to have the Vocab name as an argument instead of the Vocab ID.

Any help is very much appreciated.

Regards,
Richard

Patches considered, but I don't think any of the Panels devs are currently available to work on this.

I have just thought there might be an alternative way round this for me if anyone knows of a placeholder that is *not* used as an argument, so that I could have an url for my panel as;

mysite.com/"place-holder"/%

i.e. Something that is not used as an argument, but can still be anything and not affect the panel.

Pretty sure you could use Pathauto?

@ #3: No, you can't use pathauto. I've explained in other threads why pathauto, though in many ways a great module, really doesn't do you any service in terms of understanding how drupal's menu system works. And you have to understand certain aspects of the menu system to grok how panels handles arguments.

@ #2: FYI: when one of the module maintainers changes the category of a ticket, and you change it BACK, the only thing that you've accomplished is that you've been rude to one of the only people who can help you. It's not a good idea.

This IS a feature request, specifically because it would require writing a new argument plugin. It would be very similar to the existing term ID argument plugin, but still, a new plugin.

Subscribing

So far only taxonomy term NAME (not ID) is supported, hope to to see the rest as new features.

Node ID -> Node Name
User ID -> User Name
Vocab ID -> Vocab Name

Thanks!
