I'm converting my old site which has its current sub-content category indexes in www.example.com/media/ and www.example.com/news/

On my new Drupal categories, I have the stories popping up in .../news/band_news/title_of_article or whatever sub-category and title I specify on the content creation page. The trouble is that I need to design a page at the /news/ that has links to my legacy content, along with summaries of recent nodes of this type.

Step one is figuring out how to get a page to resolve at these addresses. Any ideas?

Thank you,

rob

If you use 'News' as the top-level term of your News categories vocabulary and then use [catpath] as your Category placeholder settings and [catpath]/[title] in your Node path settings (assuming you are using the story module), your problem should be solved automatically. You won't need to design a ../news page (each taxonomy term automatically gets a listing page) and summaries of recent nodes will automatically figure there.

But (and this is a big BUT), you would also need to do this small hack, otherwise teasers of nodes tagged with any subcategory of News will not automatically show up on the 'News' page:

The alternative would be to do this with the Views module, but I wouldn't recommend that at this stage.

I appreciate your help here. To anyone else who might use this, it works--you should remember to do the bulk update of your aliases after doing what Ramdak said.

Thanks again.
