Hello there,

I have a drupal site where users can upload files in two different content-types, tagging them in 3 different vocabularies in order to categorize things and make it easy to find related files.

To improve navigation, I want to show in some page the full list of tags. This is, there would be a page named "mydrupalsite/content-type/vocabularyone" where the full list of tags of that vocabulary will show, with the link that will show all the files in each tag for that content-type

I was wondering what is the best way to make this tag-list pages, since the users can add new tags any time. I think it will be possible using VIEWS, but I'm not quite sure of how to ask VIEWS to show just the list of one category for one node type.

Also, how can I edit the stile of the VIEW so it doesn't waste that much space? It shows the fields in a column, but since the tags may be really short (one word) I would like it to show several columns, or a nice tag-cloud withing the view....

Any help?

Thanks a lot!

You might consider using a module like Tagadelic, Cumulus or Views Cloud which all show weighted lists of terms, showing terms with associated with more content in larger fonts.

Using the view you have you can use css to float the items left and add space.

Thank you vey much for your help. I'll see how it goes with one of those modules, but I think in terms of finding things the lists of terms are better.

My problem using CSS is, since the list VIEWS creates is unique, how do I tell views to cover several columns?

You could use css to style the list, float the elements left and set a width for the elements.

Views cloud is working good for me, I like the bigger letters to the categories with more files.

Thanks a lot!
