Description

I'm trying to use directory module. But after installing and going through http://drupal.org/node/92908 for several hours and getting pain, I'm unable to determine how to make this work similar to http://www.ent.iastate.edu/list/ which uses the same directory module.

I created a taxonomy called "directory" where I added 3 terms (for test) and a content type called "directory" with url and title field. I also followed the installation guidelines provide at its documentation i.e., excluded all types of nodes except directory and chose vocabulary directory. But still it didn't convert to similar appearance to that of http://www.ent.iastate.edu/list/ . Actually nothing had happened, it shows the default view taxonomy view.

I haven't created any views or panels for it. Is there anything I'm doing wrong? I need to get this directory setup as it can be a life saver for me...... :-)

Will really appreciate a reply.

Title:I'm really screwed up with the documentation......How do I setup? » the path is /directory

I figured it out, I just typed the path /directory and boom.......the directory showed up.
The directory path should have been mentioned in the documentation to avoid confusion.

I wanted to make similar kind of http://www.ent.iastate.edu/list/ . Well not the design but the way it is adding external website URL. The problem is that when I add external website/information in the terms that I have created in vocabulary; what is happening is that terms point to a node where the website/information is included. I want to avoid the terms pointing to a node rather than having a direct link to external website? Is there any other module used with directory module to do this?

Your reply will be greatly appreciated.
