Creating a custom taxonomy terms + nodes menu in Drupal 6

votes

I have a site using taxonomy terms and parent/child nodes using node hierarchy module. The content structure looks something like this:

-term1

---parent node1

-----child node1

-----child node2

---parent node2

-----child node3

-----child node4

-term2

---parent node3

-----child node5

-----child node6

...and so on. I need to create a custom drop-down menu that gets taxonomy terms and its associated parent nodes. I have very little programming and drupal experience and I don´t know whether I could use a combination of modules for this, or write sql queries in the template.php file. Could anybody point me in the right direction? Thanks in advance!

You'll want to use the Views module for this. It takes a little bit of getting your head around but the documentation is very good. – Scott Brown
Correct me if I am wrong, but views are either of type node or terms, I can't output both (terms and nested nodes) at same time, can I? – Jon Apaolaza
If you choose 'node', you can have the term as a field in the 'fields' section. Not certin it'll do what you're after though, I'm afraid. I'm pretty new to Drupal myself, just seemed like a job Views could do. – Scott Brown
It won't do it, it shows repeteadly the terms for each node. Views don't seem to be the right approach, thanks for your help though. I suppose I'll have to right php+sql, but I don't know where and how... – Jon Apaolaza

Duder, you just need Taxonomy Menu!

For a drop down just add in Nice Menus, GigaMenu or maybe DHTML Menu.

I've used all of these on multiple projects.
