Am I Adding Too Many Pages Under Views?

Posted by hominid4 on December 2, 2008 at 9:13pm

In my Taxonomy I've created:

Computers
>Apple Desktops
>> iMac
>> PowerMac
> Apple Laptops
>> MacBook
>> MacBook Pro
> Windows Desktops
>> Studio
>> XPS
> Windows Laptops
>> Inspiron Mini
>> Inspiron

I have Story pages that go under each of the sub-categories above and am now creating the sidebar menu. I've currently created a View called "computers" and added 12 Page displays that correspond with the above Taxonomy. This works fine but seems like a lot of Pages under that one View, which I haven't seen that many in any other person's example.

Is this fine how I have it set up or should I break it down into more Views, such as 5 Views (Computers, Apple Desktops, Apple Laptops, Windows Desktops, Windows Laptops)?

Thanks!,

I currently have a single view, with the 12 pages, and it seems to be working fine, just not sure if that is the best way or if I should split them up in multiple views.

Thanks.

Could I possibly get a second opinion on rather if I should create multiple Views or if I can only create one View and insert multiple pages under that? Above is just for Computers, I'll also be adding several other categories, such as Cameras, and I'm trying to prevent from having a ton of Views.

Or should I use something like the Taxonomy Menu module for the multiple sub-categories?

Thanks!,
