How do I create a page that shows all nodes from a category / term and it's child categories / terms?

Hi there,

I've been searching for a while, but with no luck. I'm hoping somebody can help me with this question:

Is there an easy way to create a page that lists nodes of a taxonomy terms and its child terms? i.e. if I have a taxonomy of:

- Articles
   - news (id: 2)
   - book reviews (id: 3)
      - fiction (id: 4)
      - non-fiction (id: 5)
   - recipes (id: 6)

I'd like a page that lists all the nodes tagged as "book reviews" or its child categories of "fiction" and "non-fiction".

I know I could use a URL like: www.mysite.com/taxonomy/term/3,4,5 to achieve this, but I'd like a way to have all the child category nodes included automatically, so that I add another child term I don't have to go and change all the links.

Is there any easy way to do this / pre-written chunk of code / module that I've missed?

Cheers,

Ally

node type from comments in comment.tpl.php?

I have a node type (activity) where I have customized the comments display so I am displaying them seperate of the comment.tpl.php template (I'm using PHPTemplate by the way). I am doing this so I can have them displayed in the heart of the page rather than after all of the node content. The problem is that if comments are enabled for this node type, phpTemplate spits them out again at the bottom.

What's the best way to implement the following...

Hi all,

I will be building a site for a client and I think Drupal may fit the bill. Here are the areas I'm planning, but I'd like to know if you think Drupal modules will accomplish everything I need. Please take a look and give me your feedback. This will be a site for alumni of a high school. Can you tell me which modules will work for each?

I want to implement the following:

Roll back to 4.6? Learn 4.7?

Alright, so I am an admittedly new user of the Drupal system, and I must say that it fits in very well with the site that I am building. I do have a bit of a problem/question though.

When I first started developing my site, I was using 4.6. As we were developing, we noticed that a lot of the stuff we wanted to do was either already implemented, or more easily availiable with 4.7, so we scrapped and started re-test-designing with 4.7.

I am a decently experienced programmer (C++, ruby, python, perl) although I have no experience with PHP. I'm sure I can pick it up pretty quick though. I also only have a few days of experience using the drupal system (the site is still being developed locally, we really aren't near the point where we could go live though).

Right now I have been having some problems getting different modules installed in 4.7 - notably og and blockbar. What I'm wondering is if you guys think it would be best to learn 4.7 and some PHP, or go back to 4.6 and still learn PHP. Also, are RSS feed database entries able to be dumped from 4.7 then used in 4.6?

I would honestly rather learn 4.7 - I would need some help with it though. I'm reading through the handbooks, but I get the feeling that I need to know more than they provide. If someone could provide some tips, or point me towards some good info on learning to develop with this system, it would be greatly appreciated. I have already gone through a good bit of the forums. . . .

performance overhead of disabled modules???

If I turn a module off in admin/modules but leave the code files in their directory under the modules directory, does this put a drag on anywhere other than in the admin/modules function?

I'd kind of like to leave it there as a reminder of potential functionality i currently have turned off, but what will that cost me?
