Showcase content/
I want to allow users to showcase their content within particular groups.i.o.w choose content they have created and make show particular CCK fields witin a OG.
Example:
a
user created node X, he then wants
to show node X to everyone else in
the group.
He clicks on a button in the group,
called showcse your node, which then
brings up all the Nodes that
theparticular user has created
The user then chooses the node, and
clicks submit.
I would then like to create a view or block that list all the nodes that has been showcased within a particular group. So I guess it needs to some how reference the group.
Can anyone direct me in the right direction of how this can possible be done?
Hmm, maybe have a tag in one of the vocabularies for nodes in the group called "showcased". Then simply create a view that displays all nodes with that tag?

I'm going to try to explain my project.
I have one section to create on my drupal's site called "Press Room" in this section the users access it via menu item called "Shows". The mainly idea is that the second level of this menu will be created with taxonomy vocabulary called shows and the terms of this are for example:
-Shows(Voclabulary)
-Heartland(term)
-Bulloch Family(term)
And now the next step is create for each one of the terms the next structure:
-About
-Press Materials
-Video
-Fotos
To be more specific I've attach two piece of wireframes of these.
What is the best way to do that?
Thanks!!

I can propose a solution although there are too many options here.
1) Heartland(term) -Bulloch Family(term): there is no need to use taxonomy terms, they can be node types (let's call it "Show" content type).
2) About, Press Materials, Video, Photos and Contact will be 5 node types too. But these will have a reference field to the node types above (Shows).
3) The display page of each Show will be a views that will display the node Show and the content that are referencing this node.
4) Menu can be created by hand (if shows are not too many) or by a views that will show a list of node links.

I have a quick question. I am sure it is easy to do but I am missing something.
How do I create a View Context of All Content/Node Types. Then I want to display my nodes in Panel 3 based on NID/Node ID? Is this the right way to go?
Background:
There are many teachers as Content Types. There is a page for all teachers eg
www.example.com/all-teachers. If a user clicks on "a particular teacher" from this page they should be taken to:
www.example.com/teacher-name - this page should display contents from "this teacher".
Please ask if my question is not clear and thank you so much for your help.
Thank you for your reply.
The Panel 3 part is only to have a custom layout page. I am using 960grid to display the content. I want to display dynamic content in the panel based on NODE ID.
The way to do this is to create a View and pass an argument which will be Node ID. Then in Panel 3 you can create the Context (View). This allows you to put fields from the node on seperate content panes.
The URL displayed will be based on the Node ID. Its basically like creating 1 template for many different teacher details. I am not sure how to explain it in technical term but I hope you get the idea.
Thanks.
I don't understand why you need panels at all. Can't the view just link each teacher to it's node? If you want to control how a teacher node is displayed why not use something like Display Suite.
I have something in Drupal (v6) that i'm trying to nail, but having a little difficulty. I am laying out a list of products which have the following taxonomy vocabularies attached to them:
Manufacturer
Product Type
Use
When entering a product, which uses a custom content type, the admin can select one or more terms from each of these vocabs.
I then need to lay the front-end out using Views as follows:
List of Manufacturers displayed to the user - user clicks one
List of Product Types displayed to the user that have a product contained within that matches the chosen Manufacturer - user clicks one
List of Uses displayed to the user that have a product contained within that matches the chosen Manufacturer and Product Type - user clicks one to view full node details
The tricky bit is making the link between each of these vocabs using Views. The taxonomy vocabs have no hierarchy defined within them, I just need to be able to display them to the user in the order above. I can't change to using a nested hierarchy in just one vocabulary as the 3 seperate vocabs are used elsewhere on the site for other purposes and need to stay as they are.
Is it possible to create what i'm after with Views? Any tips on how best to rig it together?
Could use 3 views, with the 2nd and 3rd taking arguments.
So a url could look like:
/products/ - 1st view
/products/Ford - 2nd view, one argument
/products/Ford/Cars - 3rd view, two args
That said, for something like this I'd probably just write a custom module. How practical that is depends on how comfortable you are with Drupal and PHP.
I've just started using Drupal and I must admit its brilliant. Im still finding my way around it, so this might be a stupdi question, but Id like to know what the best and least perofrmance impacting way to achieve the below.
I have created a view with the "Node: Nid" argument to bascially list certain information about additioanl information about an artist, his events, albums etc..... The path has been set using the %. The idea being that when a particular artist node is in the node URL it will display all of the other info.
What I would like to do is add a link to the artist page called more info. So when clicked it takes you to that particular view and display all the other information.
I have realised that you cannot create menu items, using % argument.
How you would you guys do this ?
thanks :)

You are correct that you can't use wildcards in menus.
However, you can create a fake menu block outside the normal Drupal menu system that contains the menu items you want: just create a view and use the HTML list style. Each row in the view will correspond to one of your fake menu's items. When you're finished creating the view, create a block display for that view.
Add the block to a region using Site Building -> Blocks, and style it to look like your other menus.
Is there an easily managed way we can assign a specific taxonomy term to a specific instance of a view?
We're using the callouts module for Drupal, and it works great for nodes/pages we have in our site. But we have a handful of Views that are displaying as a page, but we cannot assign a specific taxonomy term to a specific instance of that view.
The view itself is pulling in lists of nodes based off of a taxonomy argument:
Example On the bottom left, we have some callouts, but they're shown randomly because we can’t assign a term to that page to show specific callouts.
There's 7-8 of these pages, and they all use the same View, but just passing different data through the argument. we've tried assigning the callouts we want to the taxonomy that is used to create the view, but that didn't work either.
Without changing the view output (for example, from a page to a block), how can this be accomplished?
Even if you could assign a taxonomy term to a view, I think it would not help in this case. Blocks are not aware of their context at the time they are rendered, so they have to look at the url to retrieve information about the node that's being displayed. The block checks if the page displays a node; if so the node data is loaded. The callouts module also works like that, as is explained on the module page. Since a view is not a node, the block will not render. To make this work, you would have to alter the callouts module I'm afraid.
