Hey everybody,
Sorry I missed the last meeting. Coulda swore I was subscribed to this page to receive updates, but wasn't. By the time I checked, the November meeting had passed! D'oh!
Anyhoo, I'm working on a Drupal e-commerce site. (The default e-commerce module, not ubercart)
I've run into an issue. I've been able to theme the site and the content, but I can't figure out how to create a page to list all my products.
I'd like to be able to publish products to a sub-page the same way I can publish content to "the front page". How can I do this?
Any help would be very much appreciated, thanks!
Please keep in mind I'm still pretty new to drupal in general. =) (Dumb it down for me!)
Comments
I was probably a lil unclear
I was probably a lil unclear in my last post, soo..
I've got 3 main categories of items. (Each have their own Content type)
Apparel
Prints
Products
In the menu/graphic I've got setup I'd like to link to an "apparel" page which lists only apparel items. Or a "prints" page which only lists the prints. Also an overall "Shopping" page which lists all the items.
I was reading the comment below about a candy page and Tom mentioned something about Taxonomy. I've got a taxonomy module installed, Im just not sure how to access it/use it?
Thanks!
Nevermind!
Sorry, got it sorted.

I did an acquia install and figured everything Id need would be turned on by default, but views_ui and some other stuff wasn't!
So how did it go?
Hey Matthew, I'm glad you got your problem figured out. So did you end up creating a View categorized by taxonomy for your products?
For those who don't know what Views are, its a module that will help you display content through filters/categorizing/sorting/and creating relationships with other nodes. If you are familiar with how SQL queries work, then you'll understand how Views work. It's basically a GUI for building queries and displaying only the content you want to show.
Hope to see you at our December Meet-up.
Yes thanks, got things
Yes thanks, got things settled pretty well. I'll bring a copy of the site to the next meeting so you can check it out, maybe point out some things I may have missed.
