Hi,
i'm planning on migrating my website to drupal and i have installed drupal cvs on my local apache server to get to know how drupal works and experiment with it. at first i thought i understood the concept of taxonomy, but not any more. my problems are:
1. can i create a hierarchical vocabulary and use its first degree terms as only placeholders for their respective child terms into which i will submit stories? in this scenario, when i click on a link such as taxonomy/page/or/1 all the nodes "filed" under that particular child term get listed, but when on this page i click on the link taxonomy/view/or/3 (the "empty" parent term above the node title) the resulting page does not list the nodes belonging to the empty term's child term(s). am i supposed to associate a node with not only the immediate term that i want it to belong to but also its parent terms? or am i missing something?
2. i'm using xtempate, and when in a node page (e.g. node/view/2, which belongs to a child term under an "empty" parent term), no breadcrumbs show, only "home." am i doing something wrong?
3. with basic installation, that is, current cvs, can i make (some of) my vocabularies show up on the navigation menu? is this process supposed to be automatic if i set up my taxonomies the "right way"?
i did searches on this, but i couldn't find answers. if my questions are unclear, that shows just how much i don't get it.:)
