I am really struggling to work out about posting certain content types. I have created for example match reports type for our club. Under taxonomy i have created a vocab of match reports and under lists there are 1st team reports and 2nd team reports. I am able to post reports and slect which team they are for... i have even been able to create menu items for them... 1st team reports and 2nd team reports.....

What i cant do is work out the following.... how do i create a menu link to show all the reports together, not seperated by team....

Also i have an content type called news. i want all news types that are added to the site to show on a news page. how do i do this ???

Any links to tutorials or any detailed help or best ways of working would be great....

Also what is the best way to customise my front page.....

Thanks for your help.....

Each of your vocab terms is identified by a term ID (tid), so if, for example "1st team reports" -> tid = 1 and "2nd team reports" -> tid = 2, the following path will display a list of teasers of all nodes tagged with either "1st team reports" or "2nd team reports":

yoursite/taxonomy/term/1+2

you can find the term ID hovering the term name in the vocabulary list page

i want all news types that are added to the site to show on a news page

With the same method you can achieve also a list of "news" type content, providing you assign all of them a "news" tag (let's say with tid = 3) in this case the path would be something like

yoursite/taxonomy/term/3

This and more info about the taxonomy module can be found at:

For much more content listing power you'd like to consider using views (http://drupal.org/project/views); documentation here: http://drupal.org/node/109604
