Link content type to view (for search)

Question

I have a content type 'product display'.

The normal path is: node/[nid]

with the module 'pathauto' I can do the following for each 'product display': node/[id] ==> product/detail/[node:nid]

This works fine, but it doesn't trigger the view.

1) Page settings (for the view) Path: product/detail/%

2) URL path settings (for the content type 'product display'): Generate automatic URL alias

When I use the standard search box, the product is found and the link is ok but I shows the normal standard page where you can edit the node.

Need some advice, help.

Thanks.

Answer 1

I don't think there is enough information to answer this accurately, but I'll give it a shot.

You said you created a view and you made the path, product/detail/%, so I'm assuming you're using Views. Under Advanced, add a contextual filter for Nid. Under When the filter value is NOT in the URL, select Provide default value -> Content ID from URL.

Hopefully that solves your issue.
