Hello,

I created a content type "City" and used the NAT module to create a Taxonomy term, sure enough when I create content of type "City" a taxonomy term is created eg London and its path is mysite.com/category/city/london , so far so good!
When I try to use the Advanced Taxonomy Block module to display the terms in "City" It asks me to fill in the Path pattern of the Vocabulary and offers taxonomy/term/%tid as the suggested path pattern to use. This however displays nothing in the block apart from the title. So I tried changing the path pattern to category/city/% Still nothing!

What should the path pattern be?

You have a content type called City.

You have a vocabulary which I will call Cities.

Using NAT, adding content of type City the node title is added as a term to Cities.
It does NOT auto categorize the content.

So at this point you can list content of type City

And list content categorized with terms from Cities (which at this point there would be none).

Using views list all content with a particular Nat: tid

Ok Nevets, now I understand.

Thank you for taking the time to explain things. Following your advice I used views to list content of type city and then selected fields to add to view and chose Nat. The only option available is Nat : nid an nothing about tid. So anyway I saved the view as a block then displayed it. The result was a block displaying:

Nid:
Nid:

Eh, em..er.. what I am missing now?

Nat: tid is only available as an argument and filter. I am tried Nat: nid as a field but is redundant with Node: nid

.. I am able to do something useful with views 2! I now have a browsable block, the next step is to make it more like the Advanced Taxonomy browser ie collapsible. Any pointers to get me started on this task?
