Hi, everyone! I have created a couple of taxonomy categories based on product brands and types. I am not sure what terminology I'm looking for, so it's been a hard one for me to search.

I am using Ubercart for my ecommerce. I have a category of manufacturers and a category of products. I used views to create the block based on taxonomy terms used for each product (toyota, hummer, bumpers, wipers, etc...)

Here's an example of what I'm looking for: When someone clicks on Toyota within the manufacturers category, it goes to the Toyota products. But it's showing each entire node, and I just want it to show certain fields only: title, image & price, in a grid. So they can click on the image or title and then it goes to the node.

I understand Views and use it quite extensively. But this one is eluding me. So it's almost like a 2-step process. They click on the manufacturer in the list, go to the grid view of everything by that manufacturer, then click on the specific product.

Thanks for any and all help!

I would guess you are looking at the results of the taxonomy/term/{tid} path. Views includes a view that can be enabled to override the default for that path. After enabling you can edit to display what you want.

Thanks for your suggestion, Nevets. I enabled the taxonomy view you suggested and tried to customize the fields I would like to display. But I am lost when it comes to arguments (which it has a couple pre-built within that view). I have played around with the filters, and sort criteria, but to no avail.

I simply want it to show the product title, image and cost in a grid view, then have those link to the node. But when I check which forms I would like, nothing shows up in the views preview.

I think I may need to ask for a step-by-step on this one.

Since it is a taxonomy view you need to provide a valid taxonomy id (tid) to the preview.
