[drupal-support] copying vocabularies and their terms

[puregin]

Christopher,

     I don't understand why you have to copy vocabularies.

I'm assuming your content vocabulary is the one with 47 terms.

I'd imagine a story about a cat rescued from a tree in Washington
might be tagged thus

(human interest, washington, 2005_06_13)

You'll want to set up a PHP page to display your stories.  Your code
can obtain the community name and the
issue name from the URL arguments:   If someone visits

www.example.com/newsletter/washington/2005_06_13

   - newsletter is an alias for the page you have created.
   - washington is the first argument, specifying the community
   - 2005_06_13 is the second argument, specifying the issue

Your PHP script would then do a query to ask for all
articles tagged with a community tag of "washington",
and an issue tag of "2005_06_13".   It would then
iterate over the 'content topics' terms, and display
articles matching content together (in date order,
if you wish)

You can find an example of categorizing articles
via a taxonomy at

     http://www.bridgingtothefuture.org/newsletter_2005_05

This is about a dozen lines of PHP - your code might
be another few lines because you have the extra
vocabulary for community.
