I've created a custom module to display in views an external database. Everything is working fine and the data are displayed right.
The problem start when I want to use contextual filter.
-I create a views block to pull data from my external database
-I add a new Contextual filter picking up the field which I want to filter (in my case "city").
First I get this message: "city This display does not have a source for contextual filters, so no contextual filter value will be available unless you select 'Provide default'."
I select "taxonomy term Id from Url", I checked "Load default filter from node page, that's good for related taxonomy blocks"
- I checked my vocabulary which contain the terms.
If I try in "preview with contextual filter" to query with "Rome" (for example) I get all the record with Rome.
But when I attach this view block with a node wich has a taxonomy term "Rome" the record doesn't get filtered.
I've also tried "Raw value from url" to get the term from the url. Also in this way doesn't work.
When I make the same operation above using instead of external database some drupal nodes everything is working fine.
I guess the problem could be because the external database cannot comunicate with a drupal database at the same time. Maybe there is some php code to use to solve the problem ?
Thanks for your help
