Hello,
We have categories of products in our site. We would like to create views on our products, with additional fields added to the content depending on the taxonomy.
From what i understand, it is possible to add fields to a taxonomy with Drupal 7 (http://drupal.org/node/774884). I believe it would be the way to do it in Drupal 7. With a view, i would fetch the taxonomy fields and display them, added to the content.
Having to use Drupal 6, i don't know how to do it. I am wondering if i have to use taxonomies at all, or rather a specific content type (say product_category), with the fields to be displayed in my views. Each product node would refer to one of the product_category nodes.
Is there a solution involving taxonomies with D6? And if there is, what would be the best choice, taxonomies or content type?
Lastly, i will have thousands of products in my site, and will use the SOLR module for searches. Maybe this can influence your answers.
Thanks a lot in advance

I'm trying out term fields
Maybe you can use http://drupal.org/project/term_fields. I don't know much about SOLR and term fields module to be sure it will solve your problem.
Yes, this is an old thread, but answers may be useful for people who may have the same problem (like me).
