[drupal-support] Article Content and taxonomies

[Christopher Taylor]

Hi,

Thank you for your message.
Everybody is very helpful in this community.

Unless I am making a mistake, I don't think that patch does what we need.
Are there any other solutions?

I am trying to publish content so that it is organized by community and have the same content taxonomies for each community.

Somebody suggested organizing by
1. Content
2. Community
3. volume, issue, date

Maybe I should try a different approach.  If I set up a community and set the articles/information as terms of the taxonomy, can I then easily duplicate the community?
Can you copy a taxonomy with all of it's terms to a new one easily?

Maybe I am not thinking of something.
Can groups help in some way?

Below, please find a basic example of our objective:

1. taxonomy news and information
terms:
news
politics
discussions
citizen blogs
public records
commics
sports

2. Taxonomy: Communities
Terms:
DC, USA, CA
New York City, NY, USA
Frankfort, Germany
Bag Dad, Iraq

3. Taxonomy, Issue
Term: 
Volume 1, Issue 1, Beginning 06-02-2005
Term: Volume 2, Issue 2, Beginning 06-06-2005

For anybody interested our goals are as follows:
A. We want to publish this content online and in a weekly magazine.
B. We want to offer subscriptions, advertising, and a networking/social club.
The Networking Club will colaborate online and meet in person.
C. We want to use content published and rss feeds to fill content in our terms and taxonomies.

If anybody can help me with this project, I would greatly appreciate your input.

Regards

  I agree that this is a much needed feature. I've used the node_weight patch (http://drupal.org/node/5738)  successfully on a 4.4.2 system.


  "It allows nodes to be ordered by an arbitrary admin-assigned weight, allowing users to:


  - change the order of static nodes (if there are several) on the front page
  - create "sticky" threads in the forums
  - create a description/title node for your blog (a node that is listed before the others)
  - create a description/title node for a taxonomy listing (a node that is listed before the others)


  Node weight can be set both in the edit node form and in using admin->content."

    Hello,

    As I mentioned before, we are working on publishing a magazine/ezine offering community, real estate, and business content.
    I created three taxonomies.
    1. Content
    2. Community
    3. Volume, Issue, Date
    Under 1. Content
    I have the categories for the content.
    The problem is, when you view from the other two taxonomies, content is in first in last out order sorted by date.
    How can I change this so the content is sorted by the first taxonomy.
    In it's current display, the last two taxonomies are not helpful as the content is in no relevant order.  Only in order of date of submission.  But, above  each story/article/node, it shows the three taxonomies assigned,
    Example:
    1. Primary Content, Business News
    2. Washington, DC
    3. Volume, Issue, Date
    Drupal platform helps launch exciting new Community Portal for business, real estate, and community services

    What can I do?
    Regards
