Hi All,
Sorry, I didn't even know where to start looking for this.
I have created several pages on bowling balls. Every page has a title with the phrase "bowling ball" or "bowling balls"
Here's what I want to do:
1. Create a page that would have all these pages grouped together almost like a site map for the bowling balls.
How do I do this?
I know it can be done because when you create a poll, there is a link that says "Older Polls" and that takes you to a page that lists all the polls that have been created.
Please help. Thanks,
Ed

Book module
The book module may be what you need. It creates an index for pages. It also lets you easily set up your pages in hierarchical order.
Found It!
Hi there,
Thanks for the help. I played around with Taxonomies and it works! Now all the bowling balls are groups into on page.
Another question though.
How do I have just the titles show up instead of part of the top of the page? like how they do it with the "older polls"
Thanks,
Ed
Use PHP code
Yes, using taxonomies is one way to group nodes. If you are looking to create an index of links to each of those individual nodes, the book module will let you do that.
Another option is to create a page in Drupal that contains PHP code that will create an index to all the nodes in a particular taxonomy (category). Of course, you have to know a little PHP to do it.
The index that is generated by the polls module is built into the module. If you look at the code in the poll module you can use it to help you create the custom PHP you need to create your index.
How to...
How do you use the book module to create the index of links? I poked all over the place and can't see it.
I created each topic on bowling balls using a "page" did I screw up?
Thanks,

Creating book links
Just start creating the book. The index of links is generated automatically for you.
Create a new book page and call it "bowling ball related pages".
Then, if you've installed the book module, you should be seeing an "outline" tab when you view a node. Click on it. Use the "Parent" drop down menu and place all of your bowling ball pages into the new "bowling ball related pages."
That's it. Now they are all indexed under the "bowling ball related pages" book.
You Da Man!
Perfect! Thanks.
Now let me push the envelope.....
I would like to create a site map. I tried to do the same thing as with what you said but it looks like a page can only be associated with on book at a time.
Any idea?
Thanks,
Ed
Create a custom PHP
For that, you will need some custom PHP code and put it on a page to generate the index of links for. How comfortable are you with that?
I think I remember someone mentioning something about a site_map module. It could be in http://cvs.drupal.org/viewcvs/contributions/
Or, there may be a module at http://drupal.org/project/releases that would help you but I don't know offhand. Look to see if there might be any that would help you out.
We use Taxonomy_dhtml
We use Taxonomy_dhtml module to generate a sitemap on our intranet.
It's works primarily with your Taxonomy, and includes some node elements.
You can specify how many nodes to include.

weblinks module
Oh, I had a thought. The weblinks module may be an option. It was primarily designed for categorizing links outside the local web site. But there's no reson you couldn't use it to categorize and group your own internal pages. It interfaces with the taxonomy module. So you will be able to have nodes appear on two different indexes by placing them into multiple categories.
This isn't the cleanest solution, though, because you'll have to a) first create the content and then b) create a weblink node for each page you create.
