Overriding taxonomy term page
Hi all, I'm wanting to add a link to the bottom of a taxonomy term page, similar to the feed icon that is already there. What would be the best way to do this: add a hook in to the taxonomy module allowing other modules to insert their own bits, send the page through a theming function, or some other method? Any advice appreciated. Thanks, Dan -- Dan Karran dan@karran.net www.dankarran.com

I would do it in theme_page (or page.tpl.php). You can easily check if you are on a taxonomy term page either with arg() or $_GET['q']. Gabor

Thanks Bèr. It was exactly a year before my question too - how random. I'll add to that issue. Cheers, Dan -- Dan Karran dan@karran.net www.dankarran.com
I'd agree that this issue is a good long term solution to controlling look and feel of taxonomy terms, but if you're trying to do this more as a piece of functionality for a contributed module, you might consider using hook_block or hook_menu to create the links conditionally, and then using a theme that supports block links in either the footer or the content. Either the menu or the blocks could invoke a test (using $_GET['q'] or arg), or you could just conditionally place the blocks in the footer using the stock block configuration. The reason I suggest this, is that it's nice to give users of your module placement options when providing links without having to perform a custom theme hack (especially for us multi-site hosters).

This is fairly easy to accomplish using Views.
