Hello everyone!

I am having odifficulty building a view which renders the the taxonomy "tree" for a specific term, displaying like so:(I'm using snowboards since snowboarding is near and dear to me, heh)

  • Snowboards
    • Mens
      • Freesyle
      • Freeride
    • Womens
    • Kids
  • Bindings
    • Mens
    • kids
  • Boots
    • Mens

...You get the idea...

As basic as this should be I'm having one heck of a time! If anyone could give me some pointers that would be much appreciated. I am using Drupal 6 with the latest views module.

What about Vocabulary Index?

views support for taxonomy is not 100%

jnicola:

The Views 2 support for taxonomy terms is nowhere near as complete and feature-rich as it is for nodes.

You simply cannot generate a nested tree style list. I think Views can be improved to have more features like this for taxonomy terms, but you'll have to understand the Views data API very well.

The best you can do today with Views is generate a list of terms grouped by their immediate parent, and even that might be difficult.

You should try Vocabulary Index if you don't want to struggle with Views.
