Hi All,
I'm experimenting with Drupal for a new site I want to make and I'm trying to get my head around the node/taxonomy concept and I have a couple of basic questions: (please forgive my butchery of the Drupal terms if they are incorrect)
First, I'm using the SiteMenu to display my content categories in the leftside navblock. Coming from a WordPress background, I tend to classify things into categories, which I think works well with the taxonomy concept.
Anyway, I have created a taxonomy/category like so:
Fruit
--Apple
--Orange
--Peach
When I write content, I can pull-down the list and it appears like above. The SiteMenu block shows this same hierarchy with clickable links, which is great.
However, if I have an article tagged as "Orange" and I click the Fruit top-level category, I don't see the lower-level fruits. Clicking Orange shows all Orange-tagged pages as expected.
I'm expecting that clicking Fruit will show things classified as Apple, Orange and Peach as these are all members of Fruit. Obviously I'm doing something wrong since it's not working this way. Any comments on how I'm thinking of this wrong or what I need to do to make Fruit show all of the sub-categories?
Second, I have SE friendly URLs enabled, so I don't have "?" marks/etc. which is good. However, looking at some people's sites on this forum, they have domain.com/fruit/apple/blah.php whereas I have domain.com/node/23/blah.php (roughly - I'm at work and cannot get an exact example of the URL structure I'm getting, but I'm sure you know what I mean).
