Replace Taxonomy pages w/ Embed Views

from: http://mustardseedmedia.com/podcast/episode31

Create a 'taxonomy_term_page.tpl.php' file in your theme.
Create a view filtered on a taxonomy term id.
Add the following code to the tpl.php file. (adjusted to fit your view))

<?php
  $args = $tids;
  print views_embed_view('viewname', 'block_1', $tids);
?>

Taxonomy pages have a default array of term ids that will work as views arguments.

Better Method
Use the theme function on your template.php file

incremental classes when grouping multiple cck values in views

By default when you group multiple cck values in a view each item just gets a single 'field-item' class. You can't override this with a simple field formatter or any of the views tpl.php files. The theme function is in contributions/cck/includes/views/content.views.inc (http://drupalcontrib.org/api/function/theme_content_view_multiple_field/6)

My version adds an incremental class to each item that you can use to target specific items. This should go in template.php with "YOURTHEME_" replacing "theme_"

function theme_content_view_multiple_field($items, $field, $values) { Read more »

Theming a page by arbitrary content types

You could improve above code to have the theme suggestion for all content types in your site.

<?php
function my_theme_preprocess_page(&$variables) {
  if ($variables['node']->type != "") {
    $variables['template_files'][] = "page-node-" . $variables['node']->type;
  }
}
?>

Now just make your template in form page-node-your_content_type. If it's missing, the default page template will be used.
