Im sorry i have to post this as ive been getting no response for the past 24hrs. All i have done for the past 24hrs is to try and esolve this. I have missed a family dinner and i didnt take the dogs for a walk today. this has consumed me for over 24hrs. I really am almost in tears now. I dont even know if what im trying to achieve is the way to go. Please please please could someone help me?

Here is my issue
http://drupal.org/node/1963898

It says it all there. I dont want to make an issue of it here. All i want to know is how to display the terms that i have created both in my group home and whilst viewing a node. I dont know if views is the way to go as no one has mentioned this to me. Im just guessing. No one else seems to be talking about using views and i dont seem to have a Catergories block that everyone else seems to have.

If you have eny experience of this module could you help me out please. Im sorry that ive had to report this here its just i cant do anything else till i know if this is going to work for me and my website has been offline now for newarly 48hrs. What little members i did have will all be posting elsewhere now.

Im desperate.

Thanks

bah there's 30 hours of my life that i will never get back. I bet somewhere there is someone that will know if this is possible or not. I give up. My site can stay shut. I dont care anymore. I need to reavaluate my life i think.

wow... first thing, take a breath. i can't speak to you reevaluating your life, but you should definitely reevaluate your open source expectations and participation. In open source nearly everyone is providing assistance on a volunteer basis. response time is typically measured in days, sometimes hours (if you're lucky), but rarely minutes.

Also, a module with less than 1k users is likely to take a while as there aren't 10's of thousands of users available to spot your post. Moreover, ranting in an issue queue isn't likely to elicit a positive response-- rather the opposite.

Who is it you think provides assistance anyway? I didn't see a whole lot of assistance on your part in your tracker during the last two years. If you're not willing to help anyone why would anyone be motivated to respond to your rant? Frankly, if that were an issue in one of my module's issue queues I'd simply close it. No volunteer should have to endure tantrums in their issue queues.

That said however, I set up a test site and I took a look at the module and you're definitely not missing anything. The d7 version doesn't provide a block which leads me to believe it can be done with views. I spent some time trying to figure it out, but couldn't. You can either wait a bit to see if someone that actually uses the module responds or pack up your toys and storm off in a tantrum-- it's up to you.

I think you must have picked me up wrong Worldfallz as i wasnt posting with any anger, malice or even expectation. It was all a little tongue in cheek. Granted i was a little exasperated and i was trying to convey that. Im not annoyed with anyone and i think i mentioned that somewhere that it was all down to me as i do understand that it is open source. I was just trying to get my point across.

Im sorry that i am unable to help anyone although i do when i can. If you was to come to me to ask a question about something i know about i would hep you all i can. Im sorry i am not a coder nor have i been educated in any of this. Ive just picked up what i know about drupal in the past 7 years of using it. Took me 6 years to realise what the differance between a span and a div was.

I appreciate your input not only here but elsewhere.

When i say i want to reavalute my life i meant it though. These things shouldnt be so important to me. It is just a website after all. There is more to life than creating them.

ps for my sins i have been too busy to help anyone. Im too wrapped up with trying to sort my own drupal problems out. As you can see from my website its taken me 7 years to make something that bad. I havent been with a woman in all that time, ive gave up my friends and my family have banned me from talking about my website.

All i was after was a bit of a ttention from those that know better than me as i didnt want to waste anymore time barking up the wrong tree. As i said it was fundemental to me to resolve before i could move on and now ive just had to move on.
