I would like to have my taxonomy term pages only show the title of the nodes. When I start changing things in the node.tpl.php file the node pages also change which is not my intention.

I found this thread that addresses the topic:
http://drupal.org/node/135130

I cannot get any of these solutions to work. Basically the suggestion is to create a separate tpl.php file for the taxonomy term page and change that (and indicate in the template file that there is a separate template for taxonomy). I wonder if I make a general mistake or that there is something specific in relation to the Zen theme that I am overlooking?

thanks,
Gerben

Sorry Heather I forgot to reply. It's version 6.3, now 6.4.

After days of playing with php and hacking template files without success I realised today I have been a bit of a fool.. This is very easily accomplished with the Views Module and manipulating the standard taxonomy_term view that comes with it. Which, for the moment, saves me from becoming half a programmer ;-)

as you're learning, it's totally fine to ask questions. but remember to include the versions of which ever modules or themes you're using...

glad you got it sorted out with views, that is good.

do you have the devel module installed? try it out, and enable the theme developer... if you ever want to make custom templates, for example, a template even for a field, you can find out how to name your templates, and which files to base them on.

best of luck to you!

Thanks! Yes, I found the

Thanks!

Yes, I found the devel module in the process of exploring all this, it's absolutely great! In combination with CSSEdit it is excellent to develop a Drupal site.

Anyway, I'll post a link to the site I am creating which should go online within 2 months, curious for some input on the design from other Zen-themers!

Best,
Gerben

thanks
