I’ve just started using Drupal and I must admit its brilliant. Im still finding my way around it, so this might be a stupdi question, but Id like to know what the best and least perofrmance impacting way to achieve the below.
I have created a view with the “Node: Nid” argument to bascially list certain information about additioanl information about an artist, his events, albums etc….. The path has been set using the %. The idea being that when a particular artist node is in the node URL it will display all of the other info.
What I would like to do is add a link to the artist page called more info. So when clicked it takes you to that particular view and display all the other information.
I have realised that you cannot create menu items, using % argument.
How you would you guys do this ?
thanks 🙂

You are correct that you can’t use wildcards in menus.
However, you can create a fake menu block outside the normal Drupal menu system that contains the menu items you want: just create a view and use the HTML list style. Each row in the view will correspond to one of your fake menu’s items. When you’re finished creating the view, create a block display for that view.
Add the block to a region using Site Building -> Blocks, and style it to look like your other menus.
