Hi.
Feel bad posting this becouse of a "newbie thing". I have searched but I havn't got I to show up.

First, how I think (want) Taxamony (weird name) to work:
It is a thing that catigories data on a page.
Ex:
Startsidan
Runt mig
-- Om mig
-- Djuren
-- Hemmet

When I want data under "Hemmet" I choose "Hemmet" and write. It will under the meny show: -- -- "My home" (Dropdown menu thing, two steps) in the menu. I want that data to only show there. Not on the front page or anything. If I want anything at the front page I choose "Index" in the list above.

Hmm... I have no idéa where I'm going. I just don't get the Taxonomy menu thing to be seen. Take a look at my mixing page:

It feels like it must be a Taxonomy block, but nothing.

Drupal feels great exept this one "little" thing I just can't get to work. I have created a vocabulary with three terms under it ( ). Under them I have created story pages under them ( )

Vocabulary settings:
Types: story
[ ] Related terms
Hierarchy: Single
[ ] Multiple select
[X] Required
Weight: -10 (So I comes under the "personal" things menu thing.)

In short: I just don't get my little Taxonomy menu visible.

I just started using drupal, but what selection do you have checked when you create your story?
Do you deselect 'show on front page'?

When I deselect 'publish' and 'promote to front page' the item is there, but does not show up, regardless of taxonomy.

Only "Published". I deselect "Promoted to front page" that is selected by default. The rest is deselected.

Hi Fluffy

I'm also new to drupal, so the following may/may not be correct:

There is NO menu system in the core drupal installation that renderes a menu based on taxonomy. But you can visit the "Content" menu when logged in as admin, copy the URL's of the items you'd like shown in a menu, and then paste it in to the primary and secondary links of the template (in case you are using xtemplate for example), thats what I did on www.oldrup.dk, its not wildly complicated, but a bit html knowledge helps. Also remember that you can take advantage of the wonderful "Url Aliasing" module so that your links could be www.lundar.se/Djuren instead of www.lundar.se/node/2 or whatever.

Some people also recommends the "Navigation" module available in the download section - havent tried that out though.

Hope that helps

In Drupal HEAD, the default taxonomy module does emit a simple block for browsing vocabularies. In 4.4, you'll need contributed modules for this.

I strongly recommend taxonomy_menu.module; it places the links you want right in the main navigation menu. In HEAD, you will be able to break those out into their own block if you want.

Ahh... That was the problem, no support by default for it. One little other problem came when taxonomy_menu modules installed.

I can't choose so a thing is only one vocabulary. The things comes under both vocabulary things. It's two pull down menu things under content making and there is no "", "" choice. One pulldown for "Maskinparken" and one for "Runt mig".

I want it to be:
* I create this content and it will be under X.
(Content under X only viewable under X)
* I create more content and it will be under Y.
(Content under Y only viewable under Y)
* More content under X but over or under content added before.
(Change weight between the added content under nodes or vocabulary)
* I create content that will only be viewable on the front page.
(And then a news archive after 10 contents at front page) (Can't choose only to be under a newspage becouse of the pulldown menus "you must choose node" things)
* ... and on and on and on.

It feels a little like I have to make all the content (site data) without taxonomy and then manual make menus becouse of taxonomys "problems". Or is it some hidden settings page I just don't find? Or a better taxonomy menu system thing?

(When I change Weight: for the vocabularys they don't change places in the menu. Yes I have reloaded the page, logged out and in.)
