In drupol 4.3.2 all stories are displayed by www.mygreatsite.com/?q=story , but in my new site using Drupol 4.4.0 the stores are not displayed, I get "Page Not Found". How do I display all stories in 4.4.0?

I have been trying to figure out the answer myself.

Any help, anyone? (I am using drupal-4.7.2)

This one over two years old.
Short answer, it's not built in.

Solution, use the Views module to display all of a given node type.
See the Views module tutorials. http://drupal.org/handbook/modules/views
Views is a query builder.

Ah ...

yes, I saw that the post was over 2 years old, but when I searched online for "list all stories in drupal" this was the first search hit, and even after 2 years there was no reply and consequently thought I must bring it back up, if only for myself to know the solution.

So what's the rational behind giving the ability to create stories and pages? What are their purpose?

Handbooks >> Introduction to Drupal terminology >> Node types

Note: A common question is "What is the difference between page and story?" The answer is not much. There was more difference originally but they are merely different node types now and how you use them is up to you.

Many people use them with different access controls on them. 4.8/5.0 is evolving in interesting ways at this point so we'll see what happens in the future.

Hi Big Dog,

I do not think any of these other users were actually listening to your question.

Go to your sites Admin area
Click on Categories
Click the Add Vocabulary button
Enter for "Vocabulary name" something like just "Story" (for Story types)
Then for Types, check Story
I also set Free tagging and Multiple select
Then click Submit
Now go into your articles that are Story types and Edit
You should now see a new "Story" input field
Enter whatever one or more subjects you want everything to fall under
(For me, I recently was trying to add a Story articles page for my articles on my site, and after adding "Erik" for that term, I see all these on this page http://runbeck.org/category/story/erik)

The beauty about manually adding these into Stories is that you can choose to not show all Stories, but just the ones you want to show in that node page.
