Hi All,

I'm working on a blog site that has 4 major blog categories, or "channels".

They want to have the blog homepage display the most recent item from each of the 4 categories.

I'm trying to figure out the best way to do this. I think what I need to do is create 4 different views, each view showing the most recent entry for the respective taxonomy term.

But then I have to do two things that I'm not sure how to do:

1) Style each item to appear exactly as the designers have requested. I think there are specifically named template files I can create that allow me to control the view, but I'm not sure of what those filenames will be... ?
2) Show all 4 views on a single page

Suggestions on how to do this?

I'm open to other methods if 4 different views is not the way to go.

Hi All,

While looking for the template filenames, and I found that in Drupal 6, when I go to edit a view, I get a very helpful link under the "Basic Settings" section, called "Theme: Information". If I click on "Information" I get an exhaustive list of all possible template files for each component of the view.

I can't find that for the Drupal 7 views. When I create/edit a view, I don't see anywhere that it gives me that list of template filenames.

Here's a Drupal 6 screenshot so you can see what I'm talking about:

Edit the view, and then expanded "Advanced".

Under the "Advanced" section, it appears under the "Other" subsection.

So, that one question is is answered, but I still have my other questions (see initial post).

Thanks!
