How To Create A Taxonomy Based File List In Drupal
This page will guide you in setting up a list of uploaded files in Drupal. Hopefully the information contained in this tutorial will be as deep as Drupal's learning curve (if ever that were possible).
File Type Set Up
To begin, you should have administrative privileges in Drupal with the Views and Taxonomy modules installed.
Bring up your Administer menu and navigate to Content Types under the Content Management category. We need to create a new content type to hold our uploaded files, so click Add Content Type near the top of the screen. Under the Identification tab, name the content type 'File' of type 'file' and write a brief description such as, "A node to hold an attached file." Skip the Submission Form tab. Under the Workflow tab, make sure that the Default Comment Setting is set to 'Disabled' and Attachments are enabled. Save your new content type.
Cool, you've created a content type to hold your uploaded files.
