Hi, my problem is as follows:
I have a bunch of different categories (created taxonomy terms for them) and I want to create a view block that will automatically pick different entries and view them when a certain link is clicked.
Example:
I created a new category called Toys, and in this cateogry I am creating the following vocabulary:
Boys Toys
Girl Toys
Men Toys
Woman Toys.
I am using CCK to create custom input pages for these categories and adding the taxonomy field so that I may define what entry is what. For example:
Entry 1
-------
Toy Name: Bicylce
Category: Boys Toys (Obviously this gives me a drop down box where i can choose either Boys Toys/Girl Toys/Men Toys/Woman Toys)
Ages: 13+
Entry 2
-------
Toy Name: Barbie Doll
Category: Girls Toys
Ages: 5+
Now in my web page I have in my menu:
Boys Toys (the link for this is a boys.html)
Girl Toys (the link for this is girls.html)
Men Toys (the link for this is mens.html)
Woman Toys (the link for this is woman.html)
So what I want to do here is to create a list view here that will automatically take all the listings for each category and show it under this link. I create a block view and define all the fields I want and the filters I need, but I don't understand how to define the arguments correctly.
I have played with adding Taxonomy: Term ID but I then get a listing of everything with links to http://0.0.0.55 etc.. which is a broken link.
Can anyone shed some light on this for me and explain it in laymens terms as I am not really a hard-core drupal user or programmer (at all)
Thanks for any help in advance.
Mike

Create a view page for each link
I just saw this today. I am sure you got this answered since you posted this almost a year ago. But you do not need to use an argument. Just create a page view of each filtered content. If you want them all to show up on the same page, create a node, and place each view as blocks on that node.
Hope this helps.
