Hi all,

Is there a way to make vocabularies hierarchically dependent, so that their terms would inherit this hierarchy?

Example:

Now for tagging an event we first select Country, then City, then Theater.
I found no solution for this on D5, now I'm on D6.
Any ideas (patches are welcome too)?

And, of course, having this working together with http://drupal.org/project/hierarchical_select would be great.

p.s. Thing which is not an option - placing terms in one vocab.

Hello!

I'm curious - is there a good (and ideally easy) way to incorporate tagging of comments?

I'm thinking D6 here. Is node comment a good way to go? the only way to go?

Has anyone been down a similar road before? Any pitfalls?

Looking forward to any tips you might have!

Thanks!

I am trying to set up a navigation system
with Drupal,......... distinguishing between
Forums, Blogs. Books, Pages, is not all that
clearly defined. ........Help!

I want to use Tabs running across the top of the
site, similar to this

http://deltaguitar.ning.com/

I just dont know whether to use Books, Forums, Blogs

The Menu titles will be like this:

Delta Blues.. Texas Blues ..Ragtime Blues.. Other....Gear

Hello,

I've been searching in the hope that there is an answer but didn't find anything, so apologies if I turn out to duplicate an existing thread.

I am building a site with several vocabularies. I use Taxonomy Menu to turn some of them into a menu. What I want is this: if a user clicks a term (from vocab A) in the menu he/she should get a page with only those nodes that match vocab B. And I need to style that in a certain way to.

Example:
- vocab A has terms: archives, libraries, courses
- vocab B has terms for countries: Britain, Germany, Belgium

Sorry this is so long. I tried to include as much detail as possible, so it could kind of act as a “recipe” for future websites like mine. (By the way, I didn’t know if this applied more to “Views” or “Taxonomy” so I posted this in both groups. I know duplication is frowned upon, but I know that most people aren’t members of both groups so I didn’t want to select only one group if the solution really lies within the conceptual framework of the other group).

Attention all developers. The great module Taxonomy Menu is looking for a new owner. This module has a Current Usage of 5200 installs. This amazing module can be your for the price of $0. All it takes is a lot of love.

Is it possible replace a specific taxonomy term page with a custom (panels) node?

Like:
Content Type: albums
-pop
--britney spears
--cristina aguilera
-rock
--bob dylan
--the doors

and in one moment i want to create a page for dod dylan, with flash, panels, views and others silly things. But don't want to make custom page for the hole vocabularies, just for one term.

Conditional panels, blocks or in content code, are not serious options because don't provide full node features (keywords, title, internationalization, search result, etc).

Controlling Access to Apply Taxonomy Terms to Nodes

Hello everyone,

So I'm working on this project, and it's been going pretty great thus far. I'm incredibly close to being done and really kicking ass at getting the site perfect. Then I stumble accross this big pitfall with vocabulary index: I don't want to display terms with no nodes assosciated with them.

Explenation of where the problem occurs:

Hi,

Been trying to find a way to use taxonomy to create "automatic" children.

Basically I am working on a site that will display content based on location. So there will be a taxonomy with this kind of structure:

• Country
  • Region
    • City

In Drupal, taxonomy.module implements hook_term to provide links among content which shares a given term. Site builders often use this feature to provide indexes and RSS feeds of their content.

Hello there,
I´m working with Drupal some years now, and everytime I need to set some sort of classification, I think always in taxonomy. So I create some taxo vocabs and terms and everything goes smooth.

But recently I started to rethink my way of doing it, and started to play with CCK list fields.
You can work with them in a flexible manner, and it does have excellent Views support. You can show them in views and use them as filters, exposed or not.

So, overall, replacing Taxonomy terms for CCK text list fields are OK in my book.

Introduction

Taxonomy is Drupal's well-known classification system. It is both powerful and outdated. As chx put it: "Taxonomy is beyond saving.". Taxonomy is slow, doesn't use modern APIs like FAPI and it needs Field integration. Updating existing code would be a long and painful process, since so many things need to be changed: all sorts of code needs to be cleaned up, Field integration, Node.module independency, etc.

Proposal

Is there a way i can define terms as session variable and check them in views as argument ?

I have few view blocks on page and i want users to pick terms in header of page, once term is selected i want all blocks to show data related to that term only. Any ideas will be appreciated.

hoping this group is active group and some will write back soon

Introduction

Hi,

I am planning a multisite project where I want to be able to share users and some content between sites.

All sites will be more or less clones of each other, but they will have different target markets (countries mainly).

What I want to do is:

Hello everyone!

I am having odifficulty building a view which renders the the taxonomy "tree" for a specific term, displaying like so:(I'm using snowboards since snowboarding is near and dear to me, heh)

• Snowboards
• Mens
• Freesyle
• Freeride
• Womens
• Kids
• Bindings
• Mens
• kids
• Boots
• Mens

...You get the idea...

I remember hearing talk about the need for a new database field to be added to Drupal core taxonomy.module's term_data table to stash the GUID/UUID/URI associated with a term. This was particularly relevant for sharing/importing/exporting taxonomies and using standard vocabularies. I suspect it also has relevance to RDF, but my comprehension is still a bit hazy on it.

OpenCalais calais.module adds a column 'guid' to the term_data table. I can't imagine that there would be any collision risks if other modules insert in this field as well for their own vocabularies.

Hello Community,

for a Web 2.0 Community Page i need some tables with Data. E.G. Zipcodes, Countrys or other Tables with Sportswear ...

The Question is, can Taxonomy handles Big Tables or is the Bestter Way to make custom Tables and Read with PHP Code?

Best Regards!

Hi everyone,

I'm new to taxonomies and am looking for some advice on how i can achieve the following functionality:

Hello everyone.

I am trying to solve the following problem and am wondering if I overlooked anything:

I am working on a listings directory. I'm creating a content type with CCK and want to use taxonomy to organize the different categories. The structure would be something akin to:

Directory Vocabulary
-- Business Category 1
---- Subterm 1
------ Sub-sub term 1
------ Sub-sub term 2
------ Sub-sub term 3
---- Subterm 2
------ Subterm 3
-- Business Category 2
-- Business Category 3
...

Im trying to find where the taxonomy $terms <li>'s

are created when listed within a node. I need to change the class information that is associated.

Please see my site here: http://www.thehox.com/sdg/park/street+plaza

Im trying to get each <li> to float so that I can apply a width to each of them, as you can see they dont align properly.

I have a custom taxonomy page template with the following code:

hi All

I've been asked to post my feature request here/.
I think when a node is tagged with a child tag, the node should also be shown in the parent tag.
For example, if blog post "A" is tagged with the term "Banking" and blog post "B" is tagged with the term "Investment" and the term "Banking" is a parent of "Investment", then clicking on the "Banking" tag in Post "A" will display post "B" (as well as posts tagged with "Banking").

Somebody suggested a workaround to this and it works.
But shouldn't this be the default behavior? Something to consider in Drupal 7?

I have created a content type to which I have recently added a tags field. I display the content type in a block from a custom view. I have the block configured to list view. I added a taxonomy term field for the view. However, the tags are not showing in the block.

Does the block not display tags or have I done something wrong?

Thanks

Note- this was originally posted to the Drupal in Education Group. I thought it might be more relevant here:

I'm working with a few groups of instructors on sites that facilitate lesson plan creation, sharing, and discussion.

We're using taxonomy to create several vocabularies like the following:

* Syllabii
* Course Calendars
* Sequence 1 (4)
* Sequence 2
* Sequence 3 (2)
* Themes (2)
      o Art (1)
      o Identity (1)

I've been reviewing the list of proposed sessions for DrupalCon DC, and I'm shocked, saddened and surprised to see (n)one about taxonomy! (There is one about taxonomy, but it's primarily about a contrib module.)

This state of affairs is unacceptable. There are some tremendous improvements to taxonomy module in core for Drupal 7 (thanks to Catch and Benjamin Melançon). With fields in core and the new database layer, Drupal's taxonomy features ache to be rediscovered by the community at large. It would be a shame to miss the opportunity to promote these improvements at Drupalcon.

Taxonomy module is undergoing an overhaul at the moment. This is happening in multiple small to medium-sized patches which will be tracked here as far as possible, otherwise check the taxonomy issue queue

Is there a way to sort (views) nodes based on one taxonomy term.

Ex.
Node: Vendor
Taxonomy Term for Vendor: Vendor Donation Level
Taxonomy Term for Vendor: Vendor Industry

We show a table of vendors and their vendor industry sorted by vendor name alphabetically. We would like to group the vendors based on Vendor Donation Level. We can't sort on a specific Taxonomy Term. It only allows us to sort on ALL terms.

What would be the approach? Is there a module that allows us to add each Term to views?

Greg

I'm looking for a bit of testing/support for
a "dev load" page view for taxonomy terms I just made a patch for in devel.module.
If anyone would like to have a look at it, that would be helpful.
Follow-up in the issue queue over there.

Is there a way I can set a default term for the "node add" form?

Here is my problem:

1.When a user first comes to a site they pick a geographic location which is taxonomy term for the "Location" vocabulary.
2.That term id is stored as a session variable.
3. The user later clicks a link to add a node, which also has the "Location" vocabulary .
4. I want the "Location" vocabulary to default to the term that is stored in their session.
5. they should still be able to change the term.

I am also using the Hierarchy Select Module.

I am experiencing the following problem: there is no difference in outcome when I specifiy

• /taxonomy/term/7,80
• /taxonomy/term/7+80

The result is the same list of nodes.

This is also an issue discussed on the Taxonomy Browser support request pages: http://drupal.org/node/305749
Specifying "and" or "all" on the TB settings page doesn't make a difference.

However, I just found out that I get the same problem when creating the URLs as above which makes me wonder if the problem is TB related or something else.

Goals

The goals for this Encyclopedia Of Life sponsored sprint are many, but the primary focus is to be able to attach metadata to terms, permit better handling of relationships between terms, and deal with the user interface and performance implications of large taxonomies.

Use Cases

• A vocabulary with millions of terms: ability to move terms, search terms, even autocomplete.
• Attaching meta-data to terms: like images, location information, species information, flags

This wiki is for listing taxonomy code sprint participants and their projects, including attached presentations about how their goals and needs relate to Drupal and our beloved Taxonomy module.

Presentations about taxonomy as preamble for the sprint:
Slideshare presentations (May later embed them here)

This is a quick list of taxonomy issues we're working on at the EOL sprint this week.

• [committed] http://drupal.org/node/302440 - Taxonomy returns PDOException on "list terms" on clean HEAD install; add testing to edit term form
• [committed] http://drupal.org/node/305740 - Add an Edit tab to term view pages for users with administer terms permissions
• http://drupal.org/node/306224 - Add hook_taxonomy_term_load.

Hi!

I'd like to use Taxonomy in order to define site-wide filters.

What I mean is the following:
On the start page you select a region and one or more Music styles. When you then enter the site, the selections for Regions and music styles should be used as a "global filter" so that one can navigate the site without having to re-select the region and/or Music styles over and over again.

How can this be done?

Thanks
Christopher

If I click on a term in a taxonomy term page I would like to have a list of associated nodes with only titles and not a page with the full nodes.

I have found various possible solutions but they don't seem to work. To be clear: I use the Zen theme and I am pretty much a beginner in php..:
- creating a special node-taxonomy.tpl.php : something then needs to be changed in template.tpl.php but I am not sure what?
- inside the node.tpl.php file do it via $page;
- do it via modules: it can be done with Taxonomy VTN but then I lose the feeds that the normal taxonomy module provides.

Hi there! I'm trying to set up a menu that contains links to all the nodes/stories associated with a term, is there a module for doing that? I've tried looking at "taxonomy menu" and "taxonomy context" but they only seemed to create links to terms in a vocabulary, not to nodes in a term..
Basically, I have a vocabulary called "categories", with 2 terms in it "health" and "food" and I'd like to have two menus in the right column with links to all the articles in each category (and they should update whenever I add a new article)

Thanks!

We are in a debate as to whether we should use taxonomy or node reference!

Our website enables selling of Products, especially for Schools and Colleges. Users can create products or purchase products on the site. The Products have some categories associated with it.
Has a tree structure, root, L1, L2,L3. Parts of the categories are repetitive.

eg. Books
-- Education
---Physics
---- Grade I
---- Grade II
---- Grade III
---Chemistry

I think it's time taxonomy module got some more love in core. Drag and drop etc. was nice to get in D6, but there's much more we could do. Also I keep seeing various taxonomy administration helper modules cropping up - which is good, but there's no core patches cropping up alongside them, which is a shame, so I'm starting this in the hope of generating some discussion about things we could do this release cycle.

There's three obvious areas where Taxonomy could use some help.

Administration:

Merging terms.
Moving terms between vocabularies.
Mass operations (delete, edit).

Has anyone in this group found an elegant way to override the order in which Taxonomy Terms are displayed on a node? Or any way, for that matter...

Hi all

Just wondering if anyone has played with the idea of content type specific taxonomy settings.

Currently, the only way to implement a 1-1 and a 1-n relationship between two different content types that I know of would be to do this manually via CCK or the fapi for the two types. Similar situation for required fields.

A quick look at the code, albeit a very very short look, seems that this would not be to hard to implement this. Free tagging could be more interesting. Has anyone tried this in the past?

I think it'd be useful to have an overview of the various content recommendation modules in this group, and eventually a comparison review in the Handbook. I haven't used any of these apart from similar by terms, and may well have missed some, but we can expand as we go along. Additionally I've not used included anything like statistics, voting_api, views_bookmarks etc. which could probably be factored into a custom recommendation/ranking solution but aren't drop-in.

Content recommendation engine

http://drupal.org/project/cre

In a discussion on the main site- http://drupal.org/node/256913 it has been hinted that there is a module available to automatically do this:

When the user selects a taxonomy term to search, and that term is in a hierarchical vocabulary, automatically search the children of the term, to some predefined depth

I.e. when the user clicks on a link for "/taxonomy/term/tid" the system actually performs "/taxonomy/term/tid/1", or "/taxonomy/term/tid/all".

Greetings,
I'm having a strange issue with my taxonomy terms. It is quite possibly a views issue, but I figure I'd ask here first to see if anyone has experienced this before. Whenever I'm creating a view and want to filter by taxonomy vocab, the first term in my vocabulary is not visible in the filter. Whenever I give that term a heavier weight, it shows up in the view filter, but then the new first term disappears. Strange. Any thoughts, suggestions? Thanks all, in advance.

Hello Everyone,
Is there a way (a view, an existing module, a swell hack), to limit the display of a vocabulary in a node editor?
For example:

Countries (Vocabulary)
- Africa
   - Kenya
   - South Africa
- Asia
   - Japan
   - Thailand

Hi I am new to Drupal and hence taxonomies and I need to create a way for articles which are written on a separate system to be posted to Drupal. So far I have been able to do most of what is required via XMLRPC however I am not quite sure how to add a valid taxonomy to an article and post it at the same time. For example can I write the taxonomy to the article at the same time as it is posted or is there another way I should do it, also what is the format of the data which I should use? I am writing the module using Python.

A while back catch created a feature request for the Project issue tracking module to allow free tagging on issues (see http://drupal.org/node/187480). The use case he indicated was to be able to attach certain labels to issues, for example benchmark, needs re-roll, needs doxygen, etc. Other use cases would include tagging issues that need testing in certain ways (eg. MySQL, PGSQL, Javascript, IE, etc.) and tagging issues that are good for certain audiences (eg. newbie, GHOP, DROP, etc.).
