Changing default “Taxonomy term” view to add a filter and change path in Drupal 7

I am trying to do a seemingly simple thing but unable to come up with anything.

I'll be specific here for what I want to achieve. I want to clone the existing Taxonomy term which has a path of /taxonomy/term/%. After cloning this view, I wanna make the following changes to it:-

  • Change the name to Document of Taxonomy Term
  • Add a filter to this view of a field called is_document. It's a checkbox which is when clicked shows that this node of my taxonomy term is a document.
  • Change path to /taxonomy/term/documents/%, which shows that I am opening all nodes of this term which are marked as document.

Now when I open my site, let's say with the URL www.mysite.com/organisation/company/documents, it doesn't pick the view. The URL www.mysite.com/organisation/company works as it picks the default Drupal View.

Any idea what I can do here?

I hope I was able to explain efficiently.

UPDATE

I used TVI, but it changes all the pages of my taxonomy terms. I don't wanna change my current scenario where normal taxonomy term pages are opened through /taxonomy/term/% (native Drupal view). I just wanna open all taxonomy terms with a document filter when /taxonomy/term/documents/% view is selected.

Thanks.

I suggest you to download and install Pathauto for URL aliases patterns.

In your Views, you set the path at: taxonomy/term/documents/%

In Pathauto settings, you to go "Patterns", then scroll to the taxonomy section where you can set a new URL pattern: [term:vocabulary]/[term:name]/documents

Then, go to Update tab and update all the paths for Taxonomy.

Enjoy your new Views.
