Hi guys
I've got two burning issues I could use some help on:
1)
I'm only just starting to use views arguments properly just recently, and having a battle with it.
What my client wants:
A page that presents a house type with tabs for Specifications | Floor Plans | Gallery images | Realtime model, perhaps another.
example: http://www.zenspaces.co.za/design/kiku2
I'm using Slider to package the various pages together.
Specifications is a node type with cck fields.
I've tried using galleria for the Floor Plans and Gallery Images, but for some reason they don't like being put together in one slider.
I'm now wanting to use Views Slideshow instead, where you create an image, tag it, and on slider-x, only gallery images with taxonomy-x show up.
The view is built up with filter = node type (image_gallery)
Fields = image, body
Then I need to pass an argument that picks up the slider's taxonomy and loads the images that have the same tag.
Any ideas?
2)
The other problem is for the same client, although something I've wanted to get working for ages:
How to embed a TurnTool scene into a Drupal page.
TurnTool is the realtime platform I use for 3d walkthroughs. It's based on an ActiveX controller (or something).
You can check an example here: http://www.inky3d.com/2010/HouseKiku_V4/inky3d.html
and download all the files here: http://www.inky3d.com/2010/01_HouseKiku.rar if you want to have a look at the back end
Note: it only works in IE
If anyone can help me out here I'll buy a few beers!!
Basically my client wants the projects to look similar to this site: http://www.m2.dk/M2_Concept/twin%20house/om%20huset.aspx
Thanks!

Did you mention beer?
Hi Inky
1) There are various ways you can get the argument in, but for most part you can get the argument from the URL.
Lets say you create a page view with a page, then the path to your page would be design/%
The '%' is a placeholder for your argument.
Let's futher presume that your taxonomy have terms kiku1, kiku2, etc.
Create an argument based on taxonomy: Term ID (not taxonomy: term).
If the argument is not present, select Hide view or display empty text (your choice).
In Validator options, select Taxonomy term and in the Argument type select Term name/synonym converted to Term ID.
And voila, if your URL is design/kiku2, it will only show images for kiku2.
2) I don't have much experience with ActiveX object (mumbles something here about Microsoft), but search Drupal.org for: Embeding objects in a node.
Hope it helps.

there's always beer invovled!
I've tried all you said, regarding the taxonomy argument. It works in the views UI when I run an argument, but not on the page itself.
Have tested it in a normal page layout, as well as in the slider and neither play nicely with me.
Not sure what I'm missing here.
hi there inky, here are a
hi there inky,
here are a couple of things you can try:
1. you can try and use something like jquery tabs (http://drupal.org/project/tabs) to have your content slide around dynamically. if you are still having issues with views arguments i can help you, i have fought with them quite often myself :)
