Was this information Helpful?

Hi, first post!

I'm not sure of the best way to achieve the following:

I have 2 categories of products, each with several products.

I want to have each category to have a separate menu item in left block (easy - done.)

I also want to have a primary link menu which will display all of the items in both categories (a sort of super category.)

Is this simple & if so, please could someone point me in the right direction.

Thanks,
Geoff.

Re: newb easy question re categories etc

I'll give this a shot -- I am relatively new, but I think I muddles through what you are asking to do, and will give you the solution i came up with.

This requires you to set up a new view (views module) In the view you specify a url (you can then make a menu item pointing to this url).

The way to filter what category gets displayed is under the filter section of the view -- I'm not sure if you are filtering by content type or taxonomy, etc. But you select here what type of filter yo want for this view: e.g:

Node type is one of "product"

this will bring in every content type you have that is a product and display it.

I hope that helps a bit or gives some direction, just set this up myself!
