Hello,
I am new to the Drupal forum and so i am sorry if i have posted in the wrong category or anything but i know when i was searching to find how to display taxonomy with a view i couldn't really find anything that just used the view and in all the forum posts people where commenting on how it cannot be done just using a view. It had to be done all using templates and php and I'm not too good at the php side of things and after hours of playing around with everything i finally cracked it so i hope this helps.
I was developing a website for a customer and what they wanted was each level of taxonomy to link to the next which i know what you saying Drupal taxonomy does this as standard. My issue was the customer wanted a button as well as the link to the category.
So what they wanted was the first level of taxonomy in the menu on the left hand side of the website so then when you click on the 1st level it displayed the second level in the page and when clicking on the 2nd level took you to the 3rd and so on then to display the products.
So this is how it is done just using a view and 1 php argument!!!!
Step 1
Go to site building and click on views.
Step 2
Create a view and before you save the view if you make sure instead of node being selected if you select term - this will create a taxonomy based view for you.
Step 3
