Come together with the global Drupal community in Rotterdam, 28 Sept – 1 Oct 2026. Sessions, contribution, connection, and Early Bird savings until 8 June.Hi,
I followed this tutorial: http://drupal.org/node/59159
From the attached screenshots, you can see that in the first one (displayed.png)
- it is in the "General News" category of the Taxonomy: Terms for News
- it "is one of" a story item, and that is selected.
- the filter "is none of" "General News" is selected, but the Module-Builder node is still displayed.
- the node "Module-Builder module released" is displayed
In the second screenshot (missing.png)
- the node should be the only one displayed, but is not.
- the filter "is none of" "General News" is selected and I have pressed submit.
- it "is one of" a story item, and that is selected.
- instead, nothing is displayed, except my 'empty text' message.
How does this make sense?

merlinofchaos commented"Is none of" and taxonomy terms are a little wonky, and don't always work as expected, due to the complexity of the query. Views has several issues with taxonomy and this is one of them.

random_ commentedAhhh, okay I see. Thanks for your reply.
This seems like a pretty simple query though...
If this doesn't work, then is it not currently possible to use views to list all nodes within a category?
What I really want to do is have a defined table view for any category within the News taxonomy.
If I can get a view to work somehow, is there a way to have all new categories that people create, automatically use that view?

merlinofchaos commented'pretty simple query' and 'taxonomy' never go together in the same sentence, unfortunately.
Especially when it's a negation. Views 2 has solved this problem, but Views 1 is too stuck in its ways.

merlinofchaos commentedYou can actually fairly easily list all things that are in a category; the problem is you're trying to list all things that aren't in a category, which is easier in the human mind than it is in SQL.
The query to do this looks something like this:
The problem is that Views makes you go through a lot of hoops to do joins like that, and the taxonomy code doesn't go through those hoops properly.

random_ commentedActually, I'm not trying to list all the things *not* in a category. The displayed.png screenshot is just there to show that the "Module-Builder module released" item is really in the "General News" category. I think my initial post described things slightly wrongly.
What I'm confused about is the fact that when "Is one of: Story Item" and "Is one of: General News" are both selected, the "Module-Builder module released" item is still not displayed, even though it matches both those conditions (see missing.png).
Comment #6
random_ commentedI don't understand why it's not possible to list all the nodes in one category, using a filter. I thought that's what filters are for.
I have one item with the Taxonomy: Term "General News" (see displayed.png - ignore the filters, this is just showing all the items).
When I set the filters to show only items that have the Taxonomy Term "General News", *it is not displayed* (missing.png).
