Hi, I’m kind of in a jam with a website I’m trying to create for use in a technical department which will server as a information database for the repair engineers to find information about products they are working on. This will include testing procedures, product configuration pages, customer specific information per product, software versions etc.

I figured the best way to approach this is to create a content type for every item that will need to be displayed per product and link these to a [Products] and [Product category] taxonomies. So u created two to begin with; (General Info) and (Product news).

What I need to accomplish is a menu called products displaying all [Product categories]. After choosing a category, a page with all the products in that category need to be displayed. Next when a product is chosen a page which displays links to General Info and other topics needs to show up and the Product news needs to be displayed at the bottom of the page.

I figured this needs to be done with Views and maybe panels (for displaying the links to the General info content type and displaying the Product news at the bottom of the page), but I have no idea how to do this.

I’ve been playing around with views and trying to figure out the arguments and relationships but I just can’t seem to make it work.

I would very much appreciate some help with this.

Thanks in advance.
