taxonomy vs. entity reference
In addition to the announced topics, I'd be interested in hearing about the pros and cons of using taxonomy vs. entity reference for a site with hundreds of articles and 50+ categories when the articles can be in more than one category.
The specific problem I'm trying to solve is to find a way to display a list of the articles in a given category on each article's page and stay within that category as the user navigates to other articles within the same category.
Taxonomy, Views, and Context work to a point. However, the list of articles changes when navigating to an article in multiple categories.
For example, Article 1 is in Categories A and C and Article 2 is in Category C. When a user visits the Article 2 page, list of articles in Category C displays in a sidebar and includes a link to Article 1 (so far, so good).
The problem is that when the visitor clicks on the link to Article 1 from Article 2 the category list changes to Category A instead of saying with Category C. I'm looking for a way to keep the Category C list displayed whenever anyone clicks on an article in the Category C list. And Article 1 would have to display the Category A list when it is clicked on from any article in the Category A list.
Is this doable? It's a bit hard to explain. I'll bring the project with me and will appreciate any suggestions and insights.
Thanks!
