I have a contextual filter in a view, to create a block. I am using the ‘Provide default value’ option and getting the value from the URL’s 2nd path component.
Everything works fine until I navigate to a page without a 2nd path component.
If I navigate between stories everything works fine even if the 2nd component doesn’t work for my filter and leaves the block empty. When I got to a page that allows content based on the filter after that the content will be there.
However, if I go to the home page or /admin where there is no 2nd component the view will be blank until I clear the cache. I have no caching allowed in my view and have turned caching off in the admin configuration of views.
What is causing my view to fail?
