Taxonomy

Events happening in the community are now at Drupal community events on www.drupal.org.

Discuss, collaborate on, and share code and information for developing and using taxonomy and its contributed modules (and, where relevant, the more general topic of relating content).

Have questions about categorizing, tagging, sorting, or organizing stuff in Drupal? Used taxonomy in such a great way that you have to share? Want to talk about taxonomy so advanced even more esoteric words like ontology and orthogonality are needed to describe it? Need to keep up with the latest tools for all this? We shouldn't label people, but this group is for you!

Two ways to select a term for the same vocabulary on the same node?

I'm helping to build a new internal D7 site for my group here at work. Members of the group will be able to create a node in a "Resources" content type that provides information and links to useful resources they've discovered. We'll want them to select a taxonomy term to categorize the resource they're adding. Ideally, we'd like them to select an existing term from the vocabulary using a select menu; however, if there is not an appropriate term already available, we'd like them to be able to enter a new term in a text field.

Using the Data Taxonomy Module

I'm a newcomer to Drupal (about three weeks in) and I'm struggling a bit with using the Data module with Taxonomy. As a bit of background, I'm trying to develop a data reporting mechanism where, each value entered is associated with the deepest level of a taxonomy vocabulary. For example, a user would submit the number of cases closed during that quarter, disaggregated by Location > Department > Floor > Title. I originally started building this using CCK for data capture, and using node relationship to pull together my views for reporting.

GSoC idea: Create transitive relationship field

The "parent term" property on a taxonomy term is a unique, non-field-api, non-transferrable relation that has not been upgraded to Field API. This GSoC idea does not propose to replace this in core as the short term goal, because a transitive relationship field can exist side-by-side with the current "parent term" field and the "parent term" field can be drupal_alter'ed out of existence. However, if this project succeeds, it would be developed further to include in core.

'Transitive' Relations among taxonomy synonyms

I am wondering if there is already some means of achieving 'transitive type' relations ( a is a synonym of b, b is a synonym of c therefore a is a synonym of c) among taxonomy synonyms in D6 core or in a contrib module?

Can a particular term be associated with multiple vocabularies

Hi - searching for this isn't working because of the generic nature of the 'keywords'. Can anyone provide a pointer on this? There are probably other ways to cook this up , but for now was just hoping that I could have some terms appear in several vocabularies (mostly so I can let some users see one Vocab, and others another, but have the terms be the same actual term, so if you go to term/45 you will end up with both sets of content, if you have access to both sets of nodes. Thanks

Sort Order of Taxonomy Tags

I have a music review website and the items we review are "hard rock", "heavy metal" and "classic rock". When I add a taxonomy tag for each of these items, it then appears in the node Iron Maiden - The Final Frontier and then there are various clickable linked tags underneath, one of which being in this case "heavy metal". Now, I have already used VIEWS to set up the ability to look at the reviews alphabetically by band name. However, when you click on the taxonomy tag link "heavy metal", it lists all of the reviews that have the "heavy metal" tag in a random order.

Display Vocabulary ID in a taxonomy view

I have created a taxonomy view that displays the taxonomy term and the term ids. I was wondering if there was a way that I could get it to display the vocabulary ID as well. I'm not getting that option currently when I go to add new fields.

Term exclusivity - possible?

I manage a college website. We've got six admissions counselors who are each assigned a group of U.S. states that they're responsible for. For various reasons, these assignments change all the time - Counselor A gives NY and Pennsylvania to Counselor C and takes Idaho from Counselor B, and so on. Each state can only have one counselor assigned to it at any given time.

Create term with specific tid

Hi all!

I'd like to know whether there is a way (via code) to force a specific tid when creating a term, or a specific vid when creating a vocabulary.

Best way to enable triple tags

Hi there! New to Drupal. I need help.

What module(s) or resources are best to help me enable triple tags, where:
1. Each tag is composed of a subject, predicate, and object.
2. The subject, predicate, and object can be chosen by users from specific nodes on my site. Each field can suggest nodes as you type.
3. Two nodes with the same name can be differentiated by an ID or something.

My goal is to link my nodes into a linked graph that can be queried by something like views. I want to display the relationships between nodes (the graph).

Taxonomy Terms Pages With Panels & Views

Hey all,

I'm trying to create a site using taxonomy term pages with panels and views as described in this fantastic Drupaleasy blog post:

http://drupaleasy.com/blogs/ultimike/2010/10/taxonomy-term-pages-steroid...

I've managed now to set-up the site so that all content is automatically categorised onto individual pages according to its taxonomy term so I'm all good there. The problem I'm having is in creating a panel which will display all of the term descriptions of for the children of any given top-level term.

My taxonomy menu links to non-existing pages after one link is used

Can anybody give me a hint please...

I have created a menu that shows my taxonomy. After clicking on one term, you are taken to the list view of all nodes with this term.
when I click on this term I takes you to the site.
So far so good.
But: the menue is still shown also on this side (which is supposed to be that way too) and takes you when clicked on it to a non existing site.
I realised that the link it points to adds the current path to the site path.

Example:
website.com
When clicked on website.com/taxonomy/term/3, it shows the result, lets say "hufflepuff".

Taxonomy link to organic group throws Access-Denied

Hello out there,

I wanted to group the Organic groups to form a higher hierarchy above the OG. I do not need anything like permission nesting, so Taxonomy feels like a good solution.

But I encountered a problem. Here is what I tried step by step:
- installed the taxonomy-menu and menu-block modules.
- created a taxonomy and entered some terms.
- referenced some Organic groups to some terms.
- created a menu block containing this taxonomy and let it display on front page

What is the best taxonomy layout for this site?

I have a website which will have 7 different categories. Each category has between 1-60 terms underneath it. Should I make 7 vocabularies then or make only one which has a hierarchal structure underneath it with the 7 parents with their terms underneath?

I'm trying to save some space on the content type form since I don't want 7 drop down menus everywhere. Ideally, I'd like to have an autocomplete box which has a controlled vocabulary...

I am trying to make a taxonomy menu for tags, but I would like this menu to add on to the current URL of the page the person is on. I would like to achieve this for the purpose of users being able to sort my websites default categories by user submitted tags.

How to allow users to add Tags (free-tagging) to Taxonomy Terms and not Taxonomy Vocabulary?

I want to group Tags under each Taxonomy Term and make more sense of it, and allow to display Tags in respective Terms Pages.
However, these Tags will have separate identity and will not just be added as child Terms under the parent term.
So I will have a Taxonomy Terms List Block (either a Views List OR a dynamic expandable block by DHTML Menu/ Taxonomy Menu modules).
And another block of free Tags associated only to this Term.

Tagging old Content with new Taxonomy Terms

I've been using a Drupal site for a while now but just started playing around with views. It became clear that I would need taxonomy terms to catagorize my content correctly.

So though my site has probably a month's worth of content on it, today I created taxonomy vocabulary and terms. Volia! Everythings great... All NEW content gives the option to add the taxonomy tags. Problem is... all the OLD content, the previous books that I had created are not allowing me to link them to the taxonomy terms from the "Edit" page.
