I am in the process of converting a service listing (or yellow pages) site to drupal, but can't seem to find a module that fits what I need. Basically I need to have categories like Dining, Recreation, etc, within Dining i would have Fine Dining, Ethnic, Fast Food, etc etc... within those I would have each restaurant listed, and would like to be able to add or delete each individual listing as needed, rather than having, for example, one big page under Fine Dining with 20 restaurants that I would have to edit each time a listing changes... Hopefully this makes sense. If there is an existing module could someone point me in that direction? or maybe 2 modules working together to make this happen? If not then I can use the category module and just have it drill down to one big page for each innermost child category but i would rather be able to edit individual listings...

Thanks
Mike

Sounds like a job for Taxonomy & Views. Taxonomy for creating the hierarchy & terms, and Views for then displaying a subset of the taxonomy. Each restaurant would be an individual, unique piece of Drupal content, and would be tagged with a term from the taxonomy. Then, based on that term, it would then show up in the appropriate view. You would also then be able to modify/delete each restaurant without having to make any changes to any of the listings pages.

Could you point me in the right direction to learn how to set up taxonomy to work with views in this manner?
