I created two separate content types: "retailers" and "distributors"
Now all I need is a menu item that shows all the retailers and one that shows all the distributors.

The stupid question is: How can I show all nodes of type "retailers"? What url does it need to be?

I am stumped. I know I could do it using taxonomy terms, but rather not. And the node-filter module also counts on the taxonomy.

Is there no simple way to simply say (in the url) "list all nodes of nnn type"?

Hi, Since you have already created the content types you now need to go to the menu section and create (add) two primary links (retailers and distributors). I guess the path for retailers page would be something like "retailers" and for distributors "distributors" . Please remember that the paths are case sensitive.
Hope this helps

Thanks DaddyFroggie -- but it is the actual path that I am not getting
It's not something like "www.#######.com/retailers"

I did figure out a way to choose the taxonomy filter, but it is not user friendly and does not allow for "choose all"

http://#######.com/taxonomy/term/12%2B7%2B6%2B11%2B10%2B9? [the term numbers are the various filters]

I guess there is no straighforward way to list nodes by content type... without using the Views module.
So that will be my next install.

You want the views module...I posted simplified and possibly too vague instructions here:

I just wanted to let you know that the Views module is working like a charm.

Thank you much!
