Hey guys!
I've searched a lot inthe forum, doc and google but after 3 hours I've never been able to make it work and I'm asking for help Because I'm short in time to finish this website.
I'm a little lost / confused with managing, structuring and showing my website content with categories and views. Here what I wanna build in the most simple and clean way possible :
1- I got 3 type of products on my website: Product, Promotion and Liquidation.
2- I want any product created being able to be categorized like: piano, battery, guitar, violon, etc.
3- In my primary links I've putted those 3 type of products (Product, Promotion and Liquidation) then when we are clicking on one, I wanna show the listing of the catgory products (piano, battery, guitar, violon, etc.). After clicking on a category we see all products related to the product type and the category.
ex: I can go to Product > piano > all products are listed
ex2: I can go to Promotion > battery > all products are listed
My big problem is that I do not want to create 3 times the catgories : piano, battery, guitar, violon, etc. like the only way wich I see working for now... and the best that I've done is listing ex: all pianos products, but it doesn't separate them by product, promotion, liquidation ...
I've tried to make it work with Views:arguments, View listing with filters but I don't want to create a view for all the categories, it'll be like 30 views .. ouf !!
so... I hope you can help.
here are my configs:
drupal 5.1
category 5.x-1.1
Views 5.x-1.6-beta5

Refine by Taxonomy
I'm using Refine By Taxonomy on a new site (still under construction) at http://www.spaceshare.com/ecocityworldsummit -- click a category from the top of right hand column, and it refines by the other vocabulary.
It produces links like: http://www.spaceshare.com/ecocityworldsummit/taxonomy/term/61,69
Don't know that it will produce the formatting you need with views, but it gets you the right taxonomy combinations.
Hope this helps --

this could be it !
tx a lot ! I'll try it this afternoon, it could be a good way to acheive what I want.
But I think I'll get some problems cause my taxonomy seems to act weird, I'll try to solve my taxonomy problem then install the Refine taxonomy.
