Hey RVA Drupalers! I thought you all may find this useful. If you struggle with contextual filters combined with Views to generate related content by way of taxonomy terms, this guide is for you!
There's a video guide for the Drupal View & contextual filters for the high level stuff and a text post for the in-depth guide on related content with terms.
Even if you think you know what you're doing, you may not be using the latest Views abilities in quite the right way. It's really quite easy to create one-to-many term<->node relationships through a fairly simple set of Contextual Filters.
I broke down the use case, created requirements, then dissected the actual process necessary to do this efficiently with just Views and just contextual filters. No relationships!
I'm always happy to help and work with local RVA Drupalers so if you have any questions or comments, give me a shout! Say hello! -Chris
