Creating a list of child taxonomy terms with Views

Question

I have a a taxonomy with 2 levels:

• Parent 1
  • Child 1
  • Child 2
  • Child 3
• Parent 2
  • Child 4
  • Child 5

When I am on /taxonomy/term/parent1 I want to display a view of a list of child terms in a block:

• Child 1

• Child 2

• Child 3

I have been through similar questions on this site, some with accepted answers, but it did not help me. Here is my Views settings.

For now, it displays the term name for each node containing the parent or child term, causing a lot of duplicates.

• parent 1
• parent 1

• child 1

• child 1

• child 2
• child 2

I'm using Views 3 and Drupal 7 If someone has a hint to share it would help me a lot :) Thanks in advance

Answer 1

I may be wrong but I guess you have created a View of type 'content' while your intention is to list 'taxonomy terms' (I understand that Child # are taxonomy terms). The type of a View is indicated by the label within parenthesis, above the top of the admin lightbox. If my assumption is right, you would want to create a new View of type 'taxonomy term'.

Answer 2

I think you may be looking for the Taxonomy menu module. I don't know if it will show the subtree of the taxonomy when visiting parents, but the module page says that it integrates with Views.
