Description

I am newbie to Drupal. I have installed Article module successfully and I like it.
Very useful and user friendly for browsing through taxonomy terms.

I want to have article appears in block rather than in menu as link.
Thus, user don't need to click on http://drupal-installation/article to view the article category.

I tried looking at the codes but really don't understand the codes there.

Thanks

What article are you talking about ? I don't really get it ? Can you clarify please ?

msameer,

It is an article module. The purpose is to give a structure of our category and its node count.
e.g.
sports (20)
health (10)
means under category sport there are 20 content nodes and 10 nodes for health topic

I like this module.

But I cant show it on the block (could be left or right hand side block anyway)

What article module provides is only a link e.g. http://drupal-installation/article
(we need to click it) to show above structure example

And what I am expecting here is straight away showing the structure with its nodes count in a block not a link.

Hope make it clear.

Regards

OK, will work on that.

The only problem is it can break the left/right sidebars if you have a deep hierarchy.

yeah msameer that could be a next problem :)
perhaps by default only show first depth.

but for my case I dont think this is a problem cause I only have 1 hierarchy.

Regards
