I need some help with how to set up a custom content type and then either using views or contemplate to customize the output.
(Bear in mind what I need could probably be done with categories and the web links modules, but it's the output that I really need to customize.)
First, I need a view that looks like this:
Topic 1
Subtopic 1a
Web link category 1 (3)
Web link category 2 (2)
Web link category 3 (4)
Subtopic 1b
Web link category 1 (2)
Web link category 2 (1)
Web link category 3 (5)
Topic 2
Subtopic 2a
Web link category 1 (0)
Web link category 2 (3)
Web link category 3 (1)
Subtopic 2b
Web link category 1 (5)
Web link category 2 (0)
Web link category 3 (2)
The numbers in parenthesis are the number of nodes for that web link category and subtopic. If you click on the web link category, you are either taken to another page that lists the actual links, or the web link category could be collapsible, defaulting as collapsed.
To futhur complicate matters, topics and subtopics are further categorized. For this example, the category could be something like "audience", so certain topics and subtopics would appeal to certain audiences. I'd like a view where you could specify what audience you want the listing for.
