New module to test out!
Hey CINDUG + Drupal crew!
I thought I would let you know that a cool new module: http://drupal.org/project/tvi (Taxonomy Views Integrator) has been released for your consideration. Please let me know what you think. What would you do differently?
The module is in Beta so I do not recommend using it in production however if it is as useful for others as it has been for us, then it will have lots of bright minds helping to make it better.
Thanks Adrian for your assistance and support.
Thanks Chris, for your advise and encouragement.
Cheers, Derek

What difference is there
What difference is there between Taxonomy Redirect and TVI? I am a big fan of the former, but there are probably 80% of uses where I really just want to override certain vocabularies/terms with a View.

It is sort of like Taxonomy
It is sort of like Taxonomy Redirect actually. However TVI only uses views since that was all I wanted it to do when I wrote it. TVI also does some neat things like cascading view overrides. TVI basically allows better integration of views and taxonomy. As you can see from it's documentation, TVI will use the best fitting view for any term page request. It will even use the default taxonomy/term/* view in cases where it is available and no TVI views were found for the page request.
And setting up your re-direct is as easy as cloning and naming a view like: taxonomy_vid_[tid]. You don't have to specify where to re-direct etc... The module handles all of that for you.
In general though, you could probably get very similar functionality from Taxonomy Redirect.
