I am working on a gallery site and I'm having issues figuring out how to accomplish this and seem to be running into walls on every search. Here's what I have going on:
Under Taxonomy (Categories), I have a vocabulary "Image Gallery" with terms "Black and White", "Color", "Portraiture", "Scenic", etc. I don't think it matters, but the Image Gallery is set for only image types, hierarchy is disabled, and only multiple select is enabled, so it will only go one level deep. I also am using the module SiteMenu to dynamically create a menu of these terms. I have clean URLs set and am using url aliases to make the links/URLs pretty (although, I can manually enter the true URL and still have the same result).
I have created a view to my satisfaction for the complete gallery page with a list view, CSS to make the list act like a table 4 wide, 2 deep with pager below. In the view, I am using a filter "Taxonomy: Terms for Image Gallery" "Is one of" with all values selected. Everything here looks wonderful. (Default, of course, lists each image node in a vertical column.)
Now, I want to do the same for each of my terms. However, I do not want to build a new view for each term. Rather, I would like to build a view that takes an $arg and will only include on the page the terms for that $arg (taxonomy/term/$arg). That way, when I want to add a new term, the view and SiteMenu builds dynamically. Sidenote: I am hoping this will still work with url aliases. But, I'll take what I can get.
