Views won't handle my pathauto pattern for taxonomy pages I have two taxonomies on my site that need to be browsable independently using different Views. Therefor I decided to prepend the term paths with the vocabulary name. In PathAuto patter section I have defined:

[term:vocabulary:name]/[term:url:path]


and the paths look the way I want:

vocabname/taxonomy/term/tid


however the Views don't work. The pages that are generated for the path

vocabname/taxonomy/term/%


somehow won't jump in. I see the error that no content has been tagged with this term, whereas the view should display teasers of the children terms.

So, do you think there is a wrong assumption on my side as per the url aliasing process (what occurs first)? Should that work?
Yes - you're very close on this, but you're right that the pathauto path is not being recognized by views here. To overcome this, you're going to need to add a 'default argument' in your views argument handling code and use PHP code to pass the term id from the end of your string.

It looks like from the version of tokens you are using that you're on Drupal 7 / Views 3, correct? If so, you're going to want to add this under 

Contextual Filters -->
Content: Has taxonomy term ID -->
Provide Default Argument --> 
PHP Code

and then in the php code section add this code:

$path = isset($_GET['q']) ? $_GET['q'] : '';
$path = explode('/', $path);
return $path[3];


This gets the current path as an array and returns the 3rd element, or the TID and passes it to your view.
