Create a view that has an argument that is the taxonomy term. Set the view to display a summary page when the argument does not exist. This will give a listing of taxonomy terms along with the count of nodes contained within that term and a link to see all the nodes associated with that term. -----Original Message----- From: support-bounces@drupal.org [mailto:support-bounces@drupal.org] On Behalf Of Michael Hallager Sent: Monday, January 21, 2008 4:25 AM To: support@drupal.org Subject: Re: [support] Using views to create a category listing
1. Categories --> 2. Product listings within a category (teaser style) --> 3. Product information page.
I have 2 and 3 all connected and working fine but I can't find the correct combination of options to create 1, the listing of categories (linked to 2).
The closest I get is a listing of categories, but for some bizarre reason it shows each category several times (It seems to show each category one time per product within that category). I'm thinking this may be a bug?
The Views module is able to show a listing of nodes within Drupal. What you are seeking is a list of taxonomy terms, not nodes. I do not believe the Views module can do this. I myself have accomplished this feature with a bit of custom coding, but there may be a better solution.
Thank you for your response Fred. Tends to make Drupal look wanting for e-commerce use because by default the e-commerce module produces 6 'teaser' pages for my 50 or so products and people don't want to go through that many to find what they want... -- [ Drupal support list | http://lists.drupal.org/ ]
