how to create block with taxonomy and taxonomy (count)?

Posted by webdev2 on November 5, 2008 at 8:39pm

I want to mimic what you see in word press blogs and realize, after research into taxonomy modules, it has probably been done but I just can't find it.

I want a block that looks something this:

topicA(21)
topicD(76)
topicG(72)

And when you click on them, it brings up the teasers for those blog nodes.

Any ideas?

Many thanks.

Taxonomy Menu

As you've probably found already, Taxonomy Menu will create a menu for you automatically. And, in the configuration page, you can opt to show the node count after each link.

http://drupal.org/project/taxonomy_navigation

This is a new, similar module, that works well with Pathauto, if you want custom paths for your taxonomy links. It also has a config option to 'Display number of nodes'.

Both will link to a taxonomy view page, with a list of teasers for your nodes (unless you want to modify the view to do otherwise).

Hope that helps...

Many thanks!!
