Taxonomy

We encourage users to post events happening in the community to the community events group on https://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!

GUID on taxonomy terms?

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.

Intelligent display of multi-level taxonomy

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

Where to change the $terms <li>

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:

        <?php if (count($taxonomy)): ?>
            <?php print $terms ?>
        <?php endif; ?>

Hierarchical taxonomy to show all child tags

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?

Can blocks show the tags attached to nodes in a list view

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

Categories/Taxonomy Question - parent and child terms

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)

Where are the DrupalCon sessions on taxonomy?

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.

Sorting on Specific Taxonomy Term (not all)

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?

How can you set Default catogories on the fly?

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.

problem with AND and OR in taxonomy: no difference

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.

EOL Taxonomy Sprint: Goals and Progress

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

Is the following possible...

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

Taxonomy term page to display list of nodes instead of full node

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.

Creating a menu with links to all the nodes associated with a term

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!
