I have a simple view that feeds a home page. I have a custom module that registers some specific URLs in hook_menu that I pass into my module so I can pass them as arguments into the view.
I can get the module to display the view all right, but it doesn't use the teaser/is_front view that outputs when I access the home page. I looked through the APIs but I can't seem to figure out how I can output the view via my module as if it's the front page, meaning $is_front is true and the teasers would appear.
The reason I'm not passing in the arguments via the URL bar into the view itself is:
My argument list is known and finite
The argument order is mixed, meaning I will sometimes have /argument1, /argument1/argument2 or just /argument2.
I only want to capture the first level URL as an argument for specific, known strings (e.g. I don't want to pass /admin into my view but I do want to pass in /los-angeles, which I register in the menu system via hook_menu in my module)
Here are some examples to make this more clear:
/admin - loads the admin page
/user - loads the login page
/boston - passes into the first argument of the view; shows in front/teaser mode
/ - shows view with no arguments
/bread - passes into argument 2 of the view; shows in front/teaser mode
/boston/bread - Passes into argument 1 and 2 of the view; shows in front/teaser mode
Maybe I'm going about this the wrong way? Or perhaps there is a way to have a module load a view and somehow set front/teaser mode?
