Views: How to display a grouped taxonomy list with node count?

Question

I'm building a classifieds section of a website. Is it possible to create a grouped taxonomy list (by parents) with a node count at the end?

Essentially this is what I want to appear:

Currently, this is my BuySell content type node. I have two taxonomy vocabularies: BuySell Category and Location.

Lastly, here is a snapshot of my taxonomy vocabulary buysell:

I'm trying to use Views to create the list, however I'm not sure how to get them to group nicely together by parent terms. I can output all terms though.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

It has been a while since I've done this, but I recall doing it with Views and setting the Taxonomy Term as the argument and using the Glossary option.

Alternatively, there are several snippets for doing this type of thing, as I recall. You can find a few of them here:

1. Show a list(x) of taxonomy terms with node counts
2. Drupal API - taxonomy_get_tree (or for D7)

In both cases, check the comments for various implementations or tweaks to functionality.

This view might help as well. It is using the summary function of contextual filters.
