Hi all, A visitor to my site was asking if Drupal could do something with its vocabulary. He was showing me a LiveJournal feature of using Tags. These would correspond, from my observations to Vocabularies and vocabulary terms. Anyway, on this site, there is a display, where a menu on Drupal might be, or a block on Drupal. And the display lists the Tags (vocab terms in Drupal) with a link on each one. By clicking on a link from among these Tags (aka Vocabulary terms in Drupal) one can see articles, stories, etc. which have those tags in the entry (aka in the node in drupal). 1) Can this be done in Drupal, and how? I know it can, and have looked through a number of Taxonomy modules, along with a few other modules that caught my attention. I'm just not sure which one I might want to use and the descriptions don't seem clear enough as to which module might actually do this. Any suggestions?
It might help to have a link to the site for a visual clue, but I think the Taxonomy Menu module will get you what you want: http://drupal.org/project/taxonomy_menu
I agree an example link would be useful. I have implemented this by using menu module and adding menu items into my menu that point to "taxonomy/term/10"
- Here's a related example, the user has setup links for each of her
"Interests" at: http://drupal.org/user/24967 I guess Interests would be a custom field on the Profile page. The interests link to users that have the same interests. Can this be done in Drupal and what modules might do this?
I actually don't know how they did that. I would like to know myself, but I haven't had the time to really put some thought and research into it. My suspicion is that it uses the profile module and some custom programming.
I don't think any custom coding is involved. It's just the profile module and some checkbox fields. If a user selects/saves a checkbox then it becomes a link to a pagenated list of all other users who have selected that checkbox.
