Description

. . .
i have done everything by the book in order to have taxonomy menu working at my testing site and it's working :D . . . now what i want is to change the classic list view format ( the content that comes up in the content-area when i clik to each term of the MyCategories left column block for example) . . . I know that the taxonomy menu inherits the default view type from drpl so it shows up a list of content but i cant find anywhere where to change this list type view.Yeap i know it's somewhere but where ?

I dont want a list view i want a grid view because i have image categories and i want to provide a grid view or something like that . . . which is the magic name of the .tpl.php file that i have to mess around or the custom function that i have to recode in order to change this default list view type.
Plz just name the file or the function for a start

This question isn't as straight forward as you think (link may other aspects of drupal).

If you are using a view to display the content from taxonomy menu then you can go to the edit screen of the view and click on "Theme:Information" under the basic settings area. This will give you a list of the .tpl files for the view. You can create a tpl file from the suggested list and place in your theme's directory.

You can also use hook_menu to define your page callback and use php/html to display the page how you want.

I apologize as I don't have alot of experience in the front end pieces of drupal/php/html. I have always been an object/db programmer.

There is a ton of views documentation on the project website http://drupal.org/project/views
There seems to be alot on the book page also: http://drupal.org/handbook/modules/views
This page might help: http://drupal.org/node/229934

thnx! i will check those links . . . As for the edit thing of the view . . . i dont have access to something like that inside from the content area but only to this custom "view" . . . and nothing more . . .
Anyway i have found a way that it might helps me . . . but i m still testing it
This is the link http://drupal.org/node/415572
. . .
i perhaps then can override the default list view with the custom view naming the custom access path . . .
but this is only temporary cause for every new term i add then i must create a custom view-page ( plus page-path ) every time manually . . .
not so dynamic actually :D
