I am using Views to list taxonomy categories as arguments in a block. In a page this works fine, but in the block the links just link to the base site. Any suggestions? Joel

Hi, I have to fix friends drupal website, somebody else started (and messed up). I'm drupal newbie too but this will be great way to learn something. it's really basic website. the prev guy used blog as content type to put news. he didn't figure out how to have last e.g. 5 artikles (news) on font page and on the News page have titles and teasers. now, 1. is it easy to switch nodes made with blog content type to simple story cont. type? (no View module involved) 2. I was google-ing for this but all I found was to complicated, complex to me and/or something I have to modify (?!?): how simply have 5 latest stories (or other content type if I have to create) on front page, in content area with title, date posted, posted by and short "introduction" + "more..." :-) p.s. if somebody knows a "explain to me like I'm 4" tutorial about Views please provide me the link :-) Thanks

Not really -- once the content type is set for a given node, it's not easily changed nor recommended.

You want to use Views.
p.s. if somebody knows a "explain to me like I'm 4" tutorial about Views please provide me the link :-)
Try Googling for screencasts as well.

Are you using taxonomy as an argument shown as a summary list? This is probably what you want. On Sun, Jan 9, 2011 at 9:54 PM, Joel Willers <joel.willers@sigler.com>wrote:

Yeah, when setting a block, you also seem to need to have a Page as well to link the block to. Created a page to display and BAM! Block links worked. Thanks for the response!
