Show name of the taxonomy filtered by in views block title
Yes, you can get the taxonomy term name and use it in the view title.
It's possible with the contextual filter settings. You can achieve your goal in two ways:


  Option #1 ( Using "%1" for the first argument, "%2" for the second, etc. )


When the filter value IS available or a default is provided:

Override title -> More %1 articles

Specify validation criteria -> Taxonomy term

Filter value type -> Term ID

Action to take if filter value does not validate -> Hide view


  Option #2 ( using PHP code )


When the filter value IS available or a default is provided:

Override title -> check this option, but leave text field empty.

Specify validation criteria -> PHP Code

Enter the code:

$tid = $handler-&gt;argument;
$term = taxonomy_term_load($tid);
if ($term){
  $name = $term-&gt;name;
  $handler-&gt;options['title'] = "More $name articles";
  return true;
}
else{
  return false;
}
