So if I understand correctly I have will a few content types "Category", "Sub Category", "Product", "Images" I am just not sure how I will associate the content types with each other to build views. So based on my structure below: I would create a Category name "Home" with the "Category" type. The category would have a view that shows all Sub Categories that are associated with this view "Category". This is my question: When I go to create my new Sub Category "Furniture" how do I associate it with the view that is on my "Home" Category page? And so on with the Products which will all belong to sub category and the images will all belong to a product. Can I use a custom field that the user adds a string?
Home (category)
-Furniture (sub category)
-Sofa(product)
-images
-Lamp(product)
-images
Outdoors(category)
-Deck Furniture(sub category)
-Table(product)
-images
-Fire-pit(product)
-images
I am sure this was confusing so if anyone has questions please ask. Any help would be amazing. Thanks in advance.
Your question is a little confusing because it seems that there are two parts to it that aren't clearly defined.
If you're looking to relate content to each other, check out the References module.
As for creating the display you're looking for, the Views module is likely what you're looking for. There is also a Views Hierarchy module which you may need but is currently unavailable for Drupal 7.

In D7, I have created a taxonomy (say categories) and set some terms (say category 1, category 2 etc) within it. I have also created a 'View' based on the 'categories' taxonomy and show the categories (category 1, category 2 etc) within the sidebar (block) of the website. Just let me know how can I assign several products (items) under each category so that site visitors can see the product lists on clicking a category from the sidebar. Basically I want to develop a catalogue based website to show products/items under each category.
Kindly help me in this regard.
Good morning,
If you have not done yet, you have to create a custom content type (Structure > Content Types > Add content type) and add as many fields as you need. When you are done, you have to add an extra field named Category, of type "Taxonomy Term Reference" (or something similar, I don't know exactly). You can configure this field so that you can assign several categories to a single product.
Once your contents are created, if you access the taxonomy term's URL, all contents assigned to that category should be displayed. However, you could also define a custom view that receives the name of the category as a parameter in the URL, and displays all contents in this category in a grid, table, list, ... whatever.
Hope it helps.
In a Salesforce Junction object can I reference fields from the two Master-Detail relationships in formulas and/or the User Interface or am I going to have to switch to Apex code? I can write the apex, but I try to use the built in tools as much as possible :).
To use the examples from the Trailhead tutorials I have
1. A Job Position Object (Project Mananger, Sr Developer, etc).
2. A Posting Website Object (Monster.com, Dice.com, etc).
3. A "Job Posting" Junction Object to link the two.
Let's say I add a field to the Job Position Object called "Close Date" to keep track of the date the position closes. Can I display this field on the layout page of the Job Posting Junction object without using Apex code and/or a custom VisualForce page?
Thanks!
You can definitely do that. You can use a formula field and just reference the relationship name of the object and the field name (so for example something like Job_Position__r.Close_Date__c), or if you prefer you can use the "Insert Field" button when creating the formula which will allow you to select the object/field you want through the UI.
I just can't seem to wrap my head around Drupal relationships. I have been reading and watching tutorials, but as soon as I try to get my own project done - I fail. I think it's very basic, so I would love to understand it. Maybe someone here can help me understand how it works :)
On my drupal site, I want to keep track of some private game tournaments.
I have created a content type called contestant, which has fields like: Tournament date, Player name, Final Position. I can then create a view that list the information from one tournament. I used the help I got from this thread: drupal views dynamic filter
I would like to have the view described above as a block. And then place that block-view on a "tournament description" page. I could do this, by simply creating a new block each time, and then manually place it on the page it should be shown (structure-->Blocks-->configure), but that is not an elegant way to do it. I am pretty sure this is where Relationships should be used. But I fail to understand how to create this relationship, so that the specific block view, that matches the specific tournament description page will be displayed together.
Use a Content:Nid as a Contextual filter.
WHEN the Filter value is not in the URL >>
Provide default value
Content ID from URL
I would like to get your opinions and solutions on how can I solve this problem.
I have a website that displays restaurants, events and attractions in multiple cities and countries.
Right now I implemented the following structure:
Country A
--City A-1
----Restaurants
----Events
----Attractions
--City A-2
----Restaurants
----Events
----Attractions
Country B
--City B-1
----Restaurants
----Events
----Attractions
--City B-2
----Restaurants
----Events
----Attractions
There is so much redundancy, specially when it comes to modules that display content from specific categories.
What I thought would be a good solution, is to only create categories for Restaurants, Events and attractions, and figure out a way to specify which country and city by adding parameters to the URLS.
I would appreciate any thoughts and suggestions.
Thank you
You can't avoid creating the full menu in the menu manager.
As for modules you could add a textfield inside the module with an array like: 1,7:2,8... = menu_id_1,content_of_city_7:menu_id_2,content_of_city_8...
You will have just one module for each type (restaurant, event, attraction) connected to all menus you want to be displayed and you will check the content of it matching the menu id from url with your array.
I have 2 content types:
One content type is named: "Offer". This content type includes a reference field to choose one hotel, form the other content type: "Hotel". The content type "Hotel" has a term reference field called "sports".
Now I want to build a view filter, which uses the content type "Offer", and uses the sport terms which i get over the hotel relationship.
I already tried to create a relationship on my own:
Reference to the hotel
Added taxonomy field sport with the relationship to the hotel, which i created before
Then i added the taxonomy field to my filter, and selected the Relationship in the drop down menu.
But this doesn't work at all.
Anyone can help me?
Regards M.
The view should initially return the hotel content type.
Add a optional relationship to the offer reference field, this will give you access to the fields in the offer content type. Once you've done that you should be able to add whatever field you want as an exposed filter.
To get the sports working you may have to add the relationship Has taxonomy term in order to get what you want and then add the term as an exposed filter.
Use the patch over at https://www.drupal.org/node/1492260 for autocomplete.
A select list should work the same way as with this patch, but it's built-in. In either case, you have to enable it by checking the checkbox in the content type field config.
