This was really good video...I'll dabble in Views a little and hopefully achieve the effect I'm going for (which somewhat different from what was shown).

great video! but is it

great video!

but is it possible to do that with multiple taxonomy terms?

in views everything seems fine (in Argument type i am using term ids) and with

print_r($tids);

in my taxonomy_term_page.tpl.php i get:

Array ( [0] => 1 [1] => 2 [2] => 3 [3] => 4 [4] => 52 )

so the ids of the taxonomy-terms are there. but how do i display the according nodes?
as i am a newbie with php my guess would be something with foreach...

any help would be awesome!
