Add a Drupal menu item with a hard coded path to a view that accepts arguments?

Question

I have a view page that accepts a taxonomy term id as an argument at /foo/%bar. I want to add several menu items to the primary links in the form of /foo/actual-bar.

Whenever I try to do this I get the error message "The path '/foo/actual-bar' is either invalid or you do not have access to it."

How can I add such menu items?

Thanks,

Answer 1

i recommend set path in such way: /foo/%/bar so you can access it via: /foo/actual/bar

Answer 2

Off the top of my head I believe there are a couple ways to do this:

1. Use absolute URLs (http://yoursite.com/foo/actual-bar) in the menu, which should bypass the check.

2. Define the links in a custom module using hook_menu()

It does seem to me that there should be a better way to achieve this, but these two options should at least get your going in the short term.

Answer 3

Another way would be to set the url in the view to foo/% it makes the argument required and the 6.x menu system will then see it as a valid URL.

However, just /foo will no longer be a valid URL, so you may need to create another page display in the view to accommodate the URL with no argument.
