What am I looking for?

By Taylor Hewitt on 11 Nov 2005 at 00:10 UTC

I don't know which module I have to install. Currently I have sitemap installed but it's not what I want. What I want is a link on the navagation that says Content. You click on the link and it lists the types of content (not pages, stories etc, but Music Reviews, Rants, News & Information etc) and how many articles are in that category. This is all on the main area, not the navagation drop down btw. Then when I make a selection I want it to take me to a list of all stories/posts in that category so I can organize them the way I want.

What am I looking for? Thanks!

taxonomy?

CnnmnSchnpps commented 11 November 2005 at 01:14

it sounds like taxonomy could work for some of the stuff you want, with maybe a custom block of links to the inidivual taxonomy terms (like "music reviews", etc). these was also a "hack" floating around this site that let you make a menu of taxonomy links with the amount nodes in each category

both menu module and taxoomy

both menu module and taxoomy are core and it sounds like what you need.

Yes but when I click on the category I don't want it to bring me to a page full of articles - I want it to bring me to a page with a list of all the different articles. It would help if I can arrange the articles how I want.

Then add the article

Then add the article module.
ordering what you need may take a custom php page.

I tried it but I really prefer the sitemap one cuz it's no better than that. Isn't there a small amount of code I can replace it with so I can just list the articles? Thanks
