I'm stuck. I've installed Drupal 6 and Views 6.x-2.0-alpha4 and I can't figure out how to, using Views, display view of nodes of one taxonomy term. I have terms, for examlpe: China, Japan, USA and I want to display nodes that are given the USA term. Please help.

Best regards,
Janusz Maruszewski

I've been fiddling with this issue for a couple days...

My current solution is to simply alias the /taxonomy/term/[tid] page with something useful. For example, say term 'USA' = tid (term id #) 3, the page www.mysite.com/taxonomy/term/3 should contain a list of all nodes with that tag. If you install/enable the 'Path' module, you can set an alias for that URL to be something like www.mysite.com/USAstuff instead, and skip the Views module altogether.

To utilize Views, you will need to create new content types for each tag you wish to group, and then set that content type as a filter in the view settings. I was having a few troubles with this, possibly due to the development state of Views module, and set it aside for now.

See what works for you though, and report back!

Thank you for your reply.

I do this this way now. Both usign thirst and second described method. I just though I do something wrong or can't see some configuration in Views. It just seems that in this version (since this is alpha for Drupal 6) Views don't support taxonomy. Just bad luck :)

Again thank you for your reply.

Best regards,

I'm still using Drupal 5. The way I solve this is

1. Go to your view
2. Go to add filter
3. Select "Taxonomy:Terms for country-vocabulary"
4. Select eguals One of USA

Hope this helps.

I don't have filter options for taxonomy/vocabs in D6...bad config on my end, or is that not part of the current build?

In the modules overview, I have a Content Taxonomy Views which depends on Content Taxonomy. It says "Views support for content taxonomy fields". I guess that this module installs the filters.
