I noticed I have no problem doing this with polls, or aggregated news items, and I'm wondering if that is due to their modules handling some of the hard work, but this is what I am trying to do in the menu.

First, I create a link under primary navigation called "Videos".

Then, I take some videos I added individually as a content type called "video node", and try to reach a page of thes items from the Video menu link - but nothing happens. When saving the individual video nodes, I am trying to save them with menu link showing as "Videos". I have checked off allow the extension of the menu to child nodes.

Much as new items go to the "front page", I would like videos to go to a "video page". How can I do this? I am using the video CCK module, so I am not actually hosting the videos myself. Any advice on the best way to do this would be appreciated.

By the way, the video nodes themselves are working fine, Video CCK has given no problems so far.

Thanks.

Searching around, I found some information about how to do this with Views. I will experiment and report back on the outcome.

Check out TravisTidwell.com.

Okay, thank-you to Travis Tidwell for his tutorial, for now anyway, views have provided what I needed.

The only thing I did differently from his instructions is, I am using the Video CCK module.

Here is the resulting view as a page : Videos.

Thanks.
