Multiple ListBox's in Drupal CCK? - drupal

I want to create content type with multiple ListBox's which populate dynamically depending on the previous.
E.x. If user selects the continent the next list box shows the list of countries present in the continent .

I think what you need is Hierarchical Select

Showing count of content based on the select list values Drupal 7

I have a requirement in which I need to show some content along with its count based on values in a select list. I wanted to display the allocated,released and resigned resources of a particular department in a selected date range. Using views, date range and department fields are created as exposed filters.
Created a content type for creating resources. The Resources content type is having action as a select list with values allocated,released,resigned. Department is another select list and date field is also added.
Please help me with an answer if views module is not enough. Provide some other solutions also. I'm using Drupal 7.
I figured out how to show node count in views. In my view I’ve some exposed filters and passed my select list cck field as contextual filter. If no result available I made the view to display summary as row count. In the template file, I’m planning to do some calculations for showing the resources count in and out of the project. Please correct me if there is anything wrong in this approach.

how to limit view to just show each type one time?

I have a content type what is news, the news has a field type that is List (text) to keep different types of news. for example I have Health, Sport, Economic and etc.
So now I am going to create a block and have each of these type in that as a hyperlink.
I can do it and I created a new view block but each news_type may showing more than one time according to published content.
How to set the view (for block) to just show news_types and show them just one time?
You can achieve this by following the steps given below:
Enable aggregation under Advanced Accordion of the view
Add Nid field & set aggregation type as Count Distinct
Exclude Nid field from display
Add news type field & set Aggregation type as Group results together, in Group Column select Value option from dropdown
Remove Publishing Date from sort criteria
Please check attached screenshot for reference

Drupal assign taxonomy to content( story )

I have a Druapl application in which the taxonomy is supposed to have 4 nested terms for eg
Sports->World->Country, so when we create a story the taxonomy option is displayed as multiple select box with values nested inside.
Like this:
Sports
--World
---United States
---United Kingdom
---Germany
---France
---So on
So when creating content it will be a huge task for the user to pick one from the enormous list. Is there any way I can split the select box in to 3 where selecting the first level load the second level in another select box and so on.
Or where should I customize ( the files which displays this select box ) this select box.
Any help highly appreciable
Thanks and Regards

Node position in list

how to get the current node position in the list?
Is there any access like $node->position?
I'm using Drupal 7. Thanks
It would help if you offered more information on what you are doing. You could add a select field called weight to the content type that would contain a range of numbers like -100 to 100 and then create a view that pulls in content of that type and then add a sort criteria based on the select field "weight". But we would need more information on what you are doing in order to give you a more accurate response.

Drupal Views and exposed filters - how to reset optional drop-down list filter, or allow "all" selection

I have a view with a filter by country. Country is an optional CCK text field with drop-down list selection from a predefined list.
When I expose the field as an optional view search filter, I can select a country on the filter form just fine, but how can I handle no selection? I want the user to be able to "un-select" any previously selected value so that the query runs for all countries (or, to be more precise, does not constrain the results by country). I cannot add "all" as a value to the CCK field for obvious reasons. Selecting all countries in the drop-down on the search filter is not very user-friendly and causes the page to time out (there are over 200 countries in the list, and I can only imagine the resulting SQL query). Whats the best way to handle this?
I found this View Filters Reset hack which could be helpful. The desire to memorize the last selection adds another complication - when configured in the View properties, and once the (persistent) cookie is set, there is no way to get rid of the selection (short of manually deleting the cookie).
The answer was to check "Force Single" on the filter properties. This made <any> show up as a selection in the country filter drop-down. It kind of makes sense, because <any> in a multiple-selection list could be seen as ambiguous. Still, I can think of valid reasons why a multiple selection filter might be optional. Drupal surprises me every day.
