Well now isn't this fun?!

Submitted by HansRoberto on

I started this site yesterday and have been working on it for a few hours now and I think that the basic structure is set. I think that one of the reasons that people think Drupal is hard to learn is due to the fact that it doesn't contain much when You first install it. It looks empty. But it is fun to put things together and the possibilities are enormous!

This is the modules I have been working with right now:
- Views (of course ;-)
- DHTML menus
- Pathauto
- Taxonomy
- Menu
- Aggregator

More to come next week or so. ^.^

Create a block of categories in Views for Drupal 7

Submitted by HansRoberto on

This is a very handy way to create a category listing of content in different Views pages.
1. Create a new View.
2. Add both a page and a block.
3. Add content that the page is going to display.
4. Add "Contextual filters" - "Content: Has taxonomy term ID"
5.Select: "Display a summary"

Save and that's that ;-)
Thus, it is step 4 that makes the trick. (!)

This is a very simplified description mostly meant as a reminder to myself. Please comment if you want more information.
