Last modified: June 5, 2008 - 15:55
This tutorial will teach you how to use filters in the views module. If anything doesn't make sense, do tutorial #1 on the previous page first.
Make a category called News
- Go to administer > > categories.
- Click tab called "add vocabulary."
- Enter "news" for vocabulary name.
- Click "blog entry" and "story" for node types.
- Click submit.
Add a vocabulary term called "Module News"
From the administer >> categories page
- Go to the row called News.
- Click "list terms."
- Click tab "add term."
- Type "Module News" for term name.
- Click submit.
- Click tab "add term."
- Type "General News" for term name.
- Click submit.
Make a new page with category "Module News"
- Go to "create content."
- Pick "story."
- For title, put in "Module-Builder Module released."
- For the category, pick "Module News."
- For body, put in "The module-builder module lets you build modules."
- Click submit.
Make a view called Module News
- Go to administer >> views.
- Make a new view called "Module News" (See Tutorial 1 for views module if you don't know how).
- Put in "modulenews" for description.
- Put in "Module News" for title.
- Choose Page View.
- Choose List View.
- Put "modulenews" for the URL.
- Add a field called Title.
- Add a field called Date Updated.
- Delete the existing filter.
- Under filters, do add filter.
- Taxonomy: Terms for News is one of module news. For sort criteria, delete the current one.
- Add one called Node, last updated time.
- Pick descending.
- click submit
Congratulations. You are done.
The page is at www.example.com/modulenews (replace "example" with the name of your site).

Filter problem?
I did this same tutorial using some different names. I made a content type -> its' category is the one I created. I've selected the filter in my view and when I hit the view page, I still have all the records, even though I only asked for the RFP ones in my filter. The result is that I am seeing all of my content - no filtering working. I am positive I've filtered on the right taxonomy item and there are no duplicate category names I could be fumbling around with.
Any advice?
Filter for "Taxonomy: Terms for News" doesn't work
I've also followed this tutorial using Drupal 5.
I have the categories module installed, so "Vocabulary" becomes "Container", and "Term" becomes "Category".
I found that no content would display in the filter, until I deleted the "Taxonomy: Terms for News" filter, and put in another filter, e.g. "Node: Type" -> "Is one of" -> "Story item".
I don't know why some filters work and others don't.
I can see the Story item created above is definitely in the category "Module News", yet will not get displayed under that filter. If I set the filter to "is none of", then it gets displayed along with all the other content items.
