Views 2

Views node field (viewsnodefield)

Provides a field to display a node (as in, when under row style fields, it'll appear as a field).

argument of type Taxonomy: Term ID. This argument is guaranteed NOT to exist on the URL (since we're dealing with node/%nid). So we configure this argument to "Provide default argument" > "PHP Code"

these links that I'm modifying point to a custom panels page with multiple views inserted that relate to the members of the group. This gives me a flexible usage so that any time the member count of the group is pulled & displayed using views, that it will render the way I want, and link where I want the user to go

The Views exclude previous module provides a views filter that excludes nodes that have already been loaded/displayed on the current page.
