I'm not sure where the connection is breaking down but:

  1. I create a content type with several groups of fields.
  2. I then create a peice of content for display (and complete all the necessary fields).
  3. I create a view with a PAGE display, and several BLOCK displays.
  4. In my PAGE arguments, I request product BRAND and MODEL number.
  5. Using QuickTABS, I create a quicktab block, and set my tabs to the blocks I created in my view.
  6. Using CONTEXT, I create a context which adds the QuickTab block I've created to my display.
  7. I try to view my product at the URL format I created for the view.
  8. Only the Node Title and Node Body are filled in.
  9. My QuickTabs are displaying--but have NO content.

I figured this may be a Views mishap since the quicktab block is appearing correctly, but its contents are not.
Am I missing a relationship somewhere? Do I need to create completely separate views to make this work?

Project: Views (for Drupal 7) » Quick Tabs
Version: 6.x-2.11 » 6.x-3.x-dev
Component: block displays » Code

This might be a quicktabs issue.

For views you would have provided informations about the view :)

in point 5 you need to use the ''View" tab type (not block) and set the BRAND and MODEL arguments

That solved it; although I did discover a minor problem with the "arguments" handler field.
It seems if my View's PAGE URL starts with a fixed phrase, i.e. "cars/%"...
and I have 2 arguments "brand" and "model" (respectively in that order),
quicktabs will NOT work correctly unless the first argument is %1.

%0 is not recognized and the View's blocks won't appear.

Thanks for the help!
