I build law oriented business directory based on Drupal 7
You can visit directory at: http://www.attorney-directory.net
the purpose and goals of directory are to help people easily find and locate lawyers by Practice Areas and Location.
From other side directory is free, so every Law Firm, Lawyer or Attorney can submit his business profile.
For Categories i use taxonomy vocabulary Practice Areas, set with 2 levels taxonomy terms, in submission users can choose several terms, and i use module MultiSelect
For displaying Practice Areas page, i use views and views hacks to display taxonomy terms hierarchical. Here are the steps:
- Make new view that show Taxonomy Terms
- Add Relationship Taxonomy Term:Parent Term
- Add 2 fields:
3.1 Taxonomy term: Name (that is normal field to show taxonomy terms)
3.2 Taxonomy term: Name with relationship Parent (make this field hidden, by checking Exclude from display, we will use this field only for grouping normal taxonomy terms by their parents) - Set format Grid with Grouping field N:1 - (Parent) Taxonomy term: Name
- Set filter criteria: Taxonomy term: Parent term (selective) which is not one of Select All and Actual values will be available at run-time /this filter will remove parent terms from top of view/
- Set some other filter to select only one vocabulary, in my case it is Practice Areas.
You can view final result at: http://www.attorney-directory.net/practice-areas
