Hi,
I want to make a module that displays 20+ categories (image + text). When u click on a link you will be brought to sub pictures in the category..
How do I retrieve the categories from a db and put them in a table which displays on the frontpage?
How di I retrieve the images in the category?
I really dont have a clue where to start making something like this. If you can put me on the right track I will be very glad.
THanks for a reply.
Best,
Marc
PS: I know this a beginners question, it will take time to learn everything, but I am committed to it...
Before starting your own module
Welcome! Before starting on your own module, check out ImageField (which requires FileField and CCK) and Views. These, along with the core Taxonomy module, may do everything you want, although there are also several gallery modules available. Good luck.
I second glennr's comment.
I second glennr's comment. What you're looking for you can probably achieve using existing modules and configuring them the way you'd like. If you do that, and you ultimately want to share it as a module, you can use the Features module to wrap up most of the configuration into a module and share it that way.

taxonomy_list
start by reading the description of taxonomy_list module, which sounds very alike
