I'm a little lost and could use some direction

Events happening in the community are now at Drupal community events on www.drupal.org.

Maybe I'm just not getting it, and it's really simple, but I'm lost here.

Lets say I set up either a Category or a Taxonomy vocabulary for Sports. I have a node, we'll say it's node 10, which I have mapped as Sports.

How do I create a story, and get it to appear on just the Sports node? I'm beating my head up against a wall here, and I think I'm just missing what's probably a very simple answer.

Any help would be appreciated.

Use view...

on my http://sunflowermission.org site, we got "Recent News & Publicity", "SM Diaries", "Education Related Press", etc... categories (all on right navigation), when creating a Recent News & Publicity node, this node will automatically post into the Recent News & Publicity block (it is the same with other categories). if this is what you are looking for then read on...

  1. tag your node with a category
  2. There should be at least one view for every term (one view to display 5 nodes at the time and another view is used to display all related nodes (when click on more).

Lets use "SM Diaries" for example, on its view Filters, I assigned "SM Diaries" to it...

  1. open your block page and enable your new view

hope this is what you are looking for.

View, as in the module? Or

View, as in the module? Or is this something default in Drupal that I haven't seen yet?

I appreciate the help, that sure sounds easy enough, once I fumble my way through what I'm doing. I just started with Drupal recently, so a lot of the terminology is new to me.

Views Module

Views as a module http://drupal.org/project/views

you might experience a minor issue (1st term in the Category doesn't show up on the Views Filter section). To work around this problem, you will need to patch taxonomy module (http://drupal.org/node/199675) or just insert a faked Term on your Category (http://drupal.org/node/415870) . If you don't have this problem then just ignore my comment...

good luck and let us know if you need additional assistance on this matter

Confusion

"How do I create a story, and get it to appear on just the Sports node?" makes no sense, as Sports is a vocabulary term.

When you create a node (story, page, blog post, etc.) and you categorize it as Sports, you're done.

There is a listing page for every vocabulary term. Your node will be summarized there.
