Add field and search on field, category/field
Posted July 19th, 2008 by michaelz
Hi everyone:
I''m new to the forum so if I am in the wrong place or this is a trivial question please let me know.
I have an iPhone application listing (www.jigglingicons.com) and am trying to add a new field so that category/field is a view. For example my web site lists iPhone applications (categories: games, business, finance, etc.). I am trying to create an additional field which would allow users to find the "free" games within specific categories. For example, user has selected category "games". Adjacent to "top24", for example, I would like a "free" link which would filter only the "free" categories within games. Or, users should be able to search "free" applications globally across all of the categories.
Thoughts on this? Thanks again.
I'm trying to do the same
I'm trying to do something similar. I was using CCK to assign an additional field to a link, but CCK isn't working with Drigg. I'd love to know if there is another way. Taxonomy is required by Tagadelic so it's already installed.
As for the searching, look up Views Fastsearch at Drupal.org. I installed that and I think it will help you do what you're wanting to do. Check out this link to see if it's what you need: http://www.lullabot.com/articles/custom_search_forms_views_and_fastsearc...
EDITED TO ADD: BTW I'm not the only one having problems because I need to categorize in more than one way. These links may be of interest:

To update, I've installed
To update, I've installed the latest development snapshot of Drigg as recommended by Merc and under the general tab in Drigg's configuration disabled "Automatically cast the first vote by the scoop submitter". This solves the problem I was having with CCK.
It sounds like a taxonomy...
Hi,
it sounds like you are looking for taxonomies in Drupal. That should do the trick!
