taxonomy

Okay I have been struggling with Views for several weeks now as a new Drupal user. I have read everything I can find and watched several videos online, but I must be missing something, because my outputs are not what I am looking for.

I am an extremely fast learner, but I am a bit puzzled by this, the odd thing is some times I get random results, so I am not sure if there is something a miss with my database or code.

In Drupal 6 you had 2 way to support multilingual taxonomy :

1) a master monolingual taxonomy with internationalization done by i18n module :

example of use : $termslg=tt('taxonomy:term:'.$term->tid.':name',$term->name);

Problem : only one master monolingual repository use in input form and no good environment to check and maintain translation of term for large list

2) a full parallel multilingual taxonomy system with term existing for each language

example of use : $termslg=i18ntaxonomy_translate_terms($terms, $lang);

I'm curious if anyone has ever ran into a site or project where they went taxonomy crazy where there were TOO many taxonomies on a node?

3-4 Categories can be common and useful, but at what point do the taxonomies become a burden to performance? 10? 50?

Gut feeling says 5 or less would be optimal, but is it ok to have 10 or 20? I'm curious to get people's thoughts. If anyone has used a ton of taxonomies in a project I'm curious if it worked out for their site. Any links to articles/posts about the topic would be helpful too.

thanks!

Jag har innehåll uppmärkt med taxonomy termer. Jättefint och bra. Innehållet kan jag presentera med views. Helt fantasktiskt, och jag kan även filtrera vyn med taxonomy som användarsynligt filtreringsargument. Men.

Det jag vill åstakomma är att jag väljer globalt den termen jag vill filtrera mina vyer på. Jag har alltså några olika vyer som jag vill applicera samma användarbaserade taxonomy filtrering på. Tips?

Edit: Kan tillägga att jag gärna har denna inställning kopplad till användarens konto. Den måste åtminstone kunna hålla i sig i en session.

Can I invite you to share insight on your library website's TAXONOMY?

I have a view which displays nodes. There are a bunch of terms attached to those nodes, all single-select vocabularies. I display the terms by using the "Taxonomy: All Terms" field in three separate columns and limiting each field to its particular vocabulary.

The display plugin is a table, and I want the user to be able to tablesort these taxonomy term fields.

As far as I know, there are two ways to display terms associated with a node within a node view - "Taxonomy: All Terms" and "Taxonomy: Term".

Hej. Jag är en nybörjare som kanske försöker mig på lite för avancerade saker, för min kunskapsnivå, men det borde inte vara så svårt.

SITUATIONEN NU:
Jag använder pathauto+token för att skapa automatiska url alias. Går bra för noder, men sämre för taxonomier. Mina url ser ut som:

taxonomy/term/3, där varje ny term får en ny siffra.

DET JAG VILL ÅSTADKOMMA:

I've been trying to wrap my head around this for a while and I'm running into a roadblock in terms of providing good usability to community members vs. correct information architecture. As an example, let's say I'm running a website about plants, and visitors can add articles about different plants. This is just a crude example to help understand the problem. When a visitor goes to create a new article, they can categorize it as follows:

Plant Part
- Color
-- Produce

Hey,

I originally posted this question here: http://drupal.org/node/507724, but got no response, so I am trying in this group. I will of course post a write up of the solution in the original post if I get one here 8o)

Does anyone know how to style a single-select dropdown, which is based on a taxonomy vocabulary?

As it is now, the styling is a dash added in front of the child terms, like this:

Parent
-Child
--Grandchild
-Child
-Child
Parent
-Child

Ideally I would like to style the parent term bold, to really make it stand out and clarify where a new category begins.
