+title: Create a Better Photo Gallery in Drupal - Part 3

+
+The next part of the new gallery that I want to implement is to group the
+galleries by their respective categories. The first step is to edit my original
+photo_gallery view and add an additional display.
+
+I've called it 'Taxonomy', and it's similar to the original 'All Galleries'
+view. The differences are that I've added the taxonomy term as an argument,
+removed the header, and updated the path to be `gallery/%`. The other thing that
+I need to do is overwrite the output of the original 'All Galleries' View by
+creating a file called `views-view--photo-gallery--page-1.tpl.php` and placing
+it within my theme directory.
+
+Within that file, I can remove the standard content output. This still outputs
+the heading information from the original View. I can now use the function
+called 'views_embed_view' to embed my taxonomy display onto the display. The
+views_embed_view function is as follows:
+
+```php
+<?php views_embed_view('my_view', 'block_1', $arg1, $arg2); ?>
+```
+
+So, to display the galleries that are assigned the taxonomy of 'tournaments', I
+can use the following:
+
+```php
+<?php print views_embed_view('photo_gallery', 'page_2', 'tournaments'); ?>
+```
+
+To reduce the amount of code needed, I can use the following 'while' loop to
+generate the same code for each taxonomy term. It dynamically retrieves the
+relevant taxonomy terms from the database, and uses each name as the argument
+for the view.
+
+```php
+<?php
+$terms = db_query("SELECT * FROM {term_data} WHERE vid = 1");
+while ($term = db_fetch_array($terms)) {
+  print '<h3>' . $term['name'] . '</h3>';
+  print views_embed_view('gallery', 'page_2', $term['name']);
+}
+?>
+```
