Linking to a category

Suppose you have categorised a load of stories and you want to link to them and display them as a listing?

All you do is go to Administer>Content Management>Categories>List

This
lists the Vocabularies. Click the 'list terms' link on the vocabulary
you are using. This shows all the terms in the vocabulary. Hover your
mouse over the term you wish to use and the link shos up in the Status
Bar of your browser. (The Status Bar is usually right at the bottom of
your browser window.)

The link follows the pattern http://ww.mysite.com/taxonomy/term/3

Paste in the taxonomy/term/3 part of the path and this will ceate your listing.

Linking to more than one category

Imagine you have two different categories and you want a single menu item that will list them both.

All you need to do is go to the list of term and pick up the taxonomy term IDs.

For example the first category (called, say, Blue Things) is taxonomy/term/10

The second category (called, say, Red Things) is taxonomy/term/15

To create a listing of both, the path is taxonomy/term/10+15

Linking to a hierarchy

Imagine you have created a hierarchy of categories and you want to show all the nodes in the hierarchy

For example you might create the following categories:

Cars

• English
• Italian
• American
• French
• German

You want to create a link that shows all the cars.

All you do is find out what the taxonomy term ID for cars is:

Lets say it is taxonomy/term/12

You create a menu item for it and tell Drupal to display the hierarchy to a depth of 1 (ie one level deep.)

So your path is taxonomy/term/12/1
