Basic configuration

  1. Enable the directory module.
  2. Configure the Directory module by visiting your site's admin>>settings>>directory page.

At a minimum, you must configure the following items correctly in order to use the directory module on your site:

  1. First, check off any node types that you want to exclude from the directory listings - by default, all node types are candidates for inclusion in the directory listings, and you must choose the ones that you wish to exclude. This is somewhat confusing and can be a source of frustration for directory module users - be sure to check off only those node types that you wish to exclude from the directory listings!
  2. Next, select the vocabularies (taxonomy terms) you wish to expose in the directory listing index. These selections will determine which taxonomy terms appear in the top-level (and upper-level) branches of the directory listings.

The remaining settings control display behavior - set them according to your needs. Note: Items marked with an asterisk ('*') are not working correctly in the 4.7 version.

  • Resource count threshold to display subcategories*
  • Number of resources to display for each visible subcategory*
  • Explanation guidelines - a block of text to be displayed at the top of every directory page.
