This is probably a basic question. I'd like to create an overview of views without having to update it manually.

We have photo's on our site. Each photo is a node. They're categorized by taxomy terms, so I set up view with an argument that displays all photo's with a specific term. This view is called 'album'.

Now I'd like to make a view that automatically lists all albums. Is this at all possible? Or should I somehow organize the photo's differently? I'd really appreciate your insight!

How is a album defined? Is this a taxonomy term? Or a nodetyp? In theory filter by "foo" where foo is the criteria for a album.

Thank you for replying. Currently, albums are defined as taxonomy terms. I could list all terms in a separate view, but the listed terms would link to taxonomy pages, not the album views, right?

You can easy change the linking of a field by using the "output this field as link" feature

Or you could use the module Taxonomy Views Integrator to overwrite the taxonomy pages with certain views.

Thanks a lot for your suggestions. I didn't know views allowed replacements in the url field. That was the key to getting a working album overview, thanks again!

The TVI-module is an interesting one. I tried setting it up so taxonomy links below a photo node would link to an album view. Unfortunately, the module doesn't seem to understand views that use arguments to generate multiple pages, like my album view.

If someone knows of another method for making that link, I'd be very interested in hearing it.
