How to create menus from taxonomy ? (new drupal user, future drupal lover inside)
Hi there,
I'm new to Drupal. I've just discovered it yesterday and think it gonna be the CMS I'll use for my pro website. Super work!
I'm french so please forgive my bad english.
That said, I've got a few questions.
I've created content : articles and pages. I've used the taxonomy to create a vocabulary and terms.
Examples :
Animals
- Cats
- Dogs
- Frogs
- Horses
...
I'm just totaly unable to find out how to simple create a primary link on top of all pages named "Animals". How can I do that ? When I try to create a new primary link, i'm asked to give an URL path. Where to find it ? "mysite.zob/Animals" dont work.
Secondly, I would like this Animals primary link leads to a page listing all terms as if they where categories. Is it automated or do I need to use VIEWS (or an other module) to create this page by myself ?
If it can be automated, how to ?
Many, many thanks.
1. Go to Site Building >
1. Go to Site Building > Menus > Primary links > Add Item
2. Enter the path, if you have a page named "Animal" in your site mysite.zob, all you need to type in is Animal.
If you want to add a link to another site, type in the http in the front, for example http://www.google.com
Attitude is mind's paintbrush, it can color any situation.
Ok thanks. But that means I
Ok thanks. But that means I have to create the page Animal first. I though creating a Taxonomy hierachy would automaticaly create a menu and pages containing list of categories and / or list of articles.
I'm gonna try the Taxonomy menu module, perhaps it does what I want.
Thanks for your help.
I'm french... sorry
Taxonomy Menu
Give Taxonomy Menu a try... probably should be able to do what you need. Use this when you want "automated" menu entries for taxonomy terms. Otherwise if you just want a parent menu item that gets to a page that lists the terms/results, best to do that menu entry manually. The default taxonomy path is like taxonomy/term/# ... to make it a friendly URL, make sure you get Pathauto. Also yes, Views can be very useful for creating custom taxonomy listing pages.
