taxonomy
Tagged:  •  

Here are three issues for anyone who cares about the taxonomy module for Drupal 6. We only have a couple of days or so to get these in before the last beta comes out, so jump in and review your heart out. Taxonomy needs this kind of love!

  1. Improve taxonomy add vocabulary forms
  2. Taxonomy help text
  3. (related to #2) Taxonomy help text working group
  4. Taxonomy module terminology

With a bit of last-minute help from Eaton I pushed my new cck_taxonomy module out the door. It is very similar to the Content Taxonomy module, and might be a totally duplicated effort, but that module has some subtle bugs and is big and I couldn't be bothered to understand the code, so I wrote my own, and learned a ton along the way.

What does it do? For every taxonomy vocabulary (except freetagging... that's coming later), you now have a new field type to add to content types. So on my site that I'm building I have an Instrument vocabulary (horn, violin, tuba....), and when I go to "add field" I can add an Instrument field. But I can rename it, and I can add more than one if I want. Plus I can override some of the configuration from the vocabulary (required and description), so they can be individualized.
