Hi!
Is it possible to show the parent and child terms from a vocabulary in a grid, where the parent term are grouped together with the child terms? When I choose grid style in my view the terms are separated, one in each column.
My goal is to make something similar to this: http://www.dmoz.org/
Is it possible with this module?
All help is appreciated, thanks!

Does this work?;
Use views + panels modules.
In Views; Add a FILTER of TAX TERM you are wanting to display ; ADD FIELDS that you want to display [ node: title , node description, etc]
ADD a BLOCK layout display to the view, and then add some parameters to make it look like 3 columns wide 16 results.
Apply additional sort filters as needed.
Result is a BLOCK which you can place in PANELS module
Use PANELS module to make your cover page and in there select a layout
then add a view (block name) to one of the layout areas. Add CSS to each 'panel' and
VOILA!
Hope this helps.

Thanks for your time! That sounds like it would work also.
We solved the problem in a little different way by creating av view and then adding a .tpl file to list the parent and child terms the way we wanted. Then we added a lot of css styling to make everything display in a nice way. It may not be the best code solution behind all this, but at least it works :)
The site is not public yet, but I can post a link later on...
