- Pictures
- personal
- professional
- Writings
- poetry
- beliefs

So say I have a menu and taxonomy structure that is like above. When I click on "Pictures" it nicely summarizes the image gallaries - how many pictures are in each, last updated, etc. But when I click on "writings" it says that there are no entries, but if I click "poetry" it lists out all of the entries with the "poetry" term assigned to it.

My question is, how can I get it so that when I click on "writings" it summarizes by saying "Poetry - 5 entries", "Beliefs - 3 entries" or something similar. Just like how it does when I click on "Pictures".

I'm sure there's a couple modules and configuration I need to do, but I'm a Drupal newb. I'm using 4.6.6. It's just a personal site, so I have complete freedom in re-arranging the menus and/or taxonomy if need-be. The site really isn't usable right now with its current navigation so any help would be appreciated right now.

Thanks,
Jason

"personal" and "professional" are indented and children of "pictures". Likewise, "poetry" and "beliefs" are children of "writing".

This module should help

thanks for the link tidalx3... i've installed it and played with it. i don't see that it can give me what i'm looking for, but like i said i'm new. can you shed some light?

btw, i know that I can display all of the children of a category but put an "/all" at the end of the URL (...taxonomy/term/47/all) but then this just lists out all the content nodes that are related, instead of nicely summarizing how many nodes there are as children, which is what I need.

Unfortunately, the module only enables the summarizing of the child categories and not showing the number of posts in each category.

taxonomy_context looks like it won't do it for me... so how else can I do this in Drupal. This seems like a simple/common issue... any more ideas folks?

Just as a follow up ... the Article module is exactly what I was looking for. Hope this helps others!
