Timelines links plan

The newsitem_timeline url should give the ful;l news listing on its own, and when a category id is appended to the url, then it should list news for that category. This is how I wanted to make timelines for different people. However, this cid functionality doesn't seem to be working, maybe because path is turned on and there was some pathauto entries in the path module before pathauto was disabled. Maybe this will work better once the taxonomy wrapper is installed and I use the views taxonomy filters instead of the manually added category functionality which doesn't work well in views filters.
