I am new in drupal 7 and I want to create one view blog in which I can list out taxonomy as category and in under that I want to display two articles and a read more link to that category. Can any one explain in details how can i do that.
If you use a content type with a Term reference field for your category, it wil automatically create pages for each category with the articles tagged with that category listed within it.
If you want to have more control over these pages generated by the Taxonomy module, you can turn on the Taxonomy Term example view in de Views UI and add and remove the fields you want to display. The layout of these pages can be edited by creating a custom template file in you themes template folder for the file page--taxonomy.tpl.php.
There you could als create an additional block display (I assume you mean block when you say blog), and in the Page settings area, you can turn on de More link, and this will display a more link when more articles are available then you have set you pager to display (i.e. Use pager - Display a specified number of items - Items per page = 2). Make sure you change de setting from For all displays to This block (override) to not override the other displays.
This block you can place in any region on any page via the Blocks UI and is should do what you want.

I've been handed a design spec which requires a news listing in a specific format - e.g. image floating to the left, with the main title and content on its right.
I've created the articles listing using the views module and embedded the view as a block on the front page. However, I need to change the layout of the resulting list of items at an html level, as the items are not provided in the order or within the html tags that I need in order to deliver the design.
In order to style the output, I really need the views module to give me fine-grained control over the html tags being wrapped around each field for each article.
Is this possible in Drupal?
(edit: please note, this is not a css question - I know how to float and position things in css. I need to be able to modify the html tags applied to fields in a view - thanks!)
When you go to your view, you will see FORMAT. You can change the Format to HTML list with corresponding settings. Under Show, you will say Fields. In the FIELDS area, choose which content you want enabled. Let me know if this helps, or if you want more of an explanation. Go back into your view and click on your field. The next window that pops up should be to configure that field. You'll see style settings where you can define the HTML tags, classes, wrappers, etc.
I have a page generated by Views which lists 5 Articles at a time. This view is paginated so that page 2 of this View will list the second batch of 5 Articles, page 3 will list the third batch of Articles, so on and so forth.
My question: is it somehow possible to extract fields from Articles listed on the page you're currently on, perhaps via the url? And I only want to them on the Articles being displayed by the page the viewer is currently on and not all the Articles.
My intent is to have a Views Block that would ...
determine what page of the paginated View above you're looking at
determine what Articles are listed on that specific page
aggregate and display the Taxonomy Terms of those listed Articles (Articles have a Taxonomy Term field) in the block
do all the above automatically as you change what page you're looking at
The way I'm going about this is to list all the the Taxonomy terms in a block which is relatively straightforward. What I can't figure out is how to filter it based on what Articles are being displayed to me in a paginated page.
I was thinking maybe this is possible to use it using the url of the paginated page which goes along this format: ?page=1, ?page=2, etc.
If anyone could just point me to the right direction, I would appreciate it. I'm also open to alternatives.
What if you created another display of the same view as your Article page view?
You could add a Relationship for the Taxonomy Terms and then the Fields in the block view would be the appropriate fields from the taxonomy terms. You'll want to setup the same Filters, Sort and Pager options for the two displays are the same. That way the results should match.
Then you might just want to hide the pager from the block view. You could do that through a custom template for that view display, or maybe a preprocess function that hides the pager for just your view, or maybe via CSS.
I have different nodes to which I apply taxonomy terms.
I want to display two separate blocks:
The first block should list all the taxonomy terms (HTML list would be fine) and each should be clickable.
The second block should list all nodes that have the taxonomy term clicked on the first block.
How would I achieve that? I am using Drupal 7 and the Views module. Thanks in advance.
You need to 2 block views for this.
But create just 1 view and the second view is already there in your default drupal views.
Follow this steps:
Create a view.
Select "Taxonomy Terms" for "Show" from drop down.
Select the related taxonomy vocabulary for "of type".
Click on Create a Block.
Click on "save & exit".
This will create your first view block with the taxonomy terms.
Now for the second block which should display all the node related to the taxonomy terms.
you just have to enable a view which is "Taxonomy Term".Go down words in your drupal view list there you will find this view in a disable mode. you need to enable it.
Now just override the view as you want to see that node page to display all the content related to taxonomy terms.Select the fields and filters according to normal view creation as we do.
Create a page for this second block and give path as you like.
Now use Context module(download if you don't have right now) to show the taxonomy terms block on the path you have given for views.
(Hope you will be knowing how to use context if not just leave a comment i will guide you for that)
I'm new to Drupal, and I'm working with a content panel.
I want to create a news content containing a 'category' taxonomy reference field. However, my vocabulary has 2 levels and over 100 terms, so it's hard to choose an category using the simple widgets.
I don't want to create new add content panel, but the panel of Drupal. So any ideas for that?
Try using the Hierarchical Select module.
There's also a tutorial on how to use it at http://eureka.ykyuen.info/2012/05/29/drupal-7-mutiliple-selection-list-for-taxonomy-using-hierarchical-select/.
(The one caveat is that there isn't yet support for using it with exposed Views taxonomy fields.)
I have created 1 views which include the 5 types of content types nodes.
What i want to do is customize the view template.
The first 2 stories display in other format like complete title, summary and image
and last 3 stories only title.
How this possible using views.
Or i have to use $view=views_get_view_result() method
You can create the first 2 stories as a regular View (either a page or a block, whichever you want to use) and create the remaining 3 stories as an attachment to the first view.
In the View, you should be able to create an attachment which you can then attach at the end of the first View.
This way, you can have slightly different configurations for each view but still have them in the same View page or block like:
