Okay, my latest question about to ensure 'uniqueness of values' was unanswered This could be because it was (again) an unclear question (apologies if thats the case) Or because nobody knows the answer. This is a case of having hit a limitation of the current module, or simply not knowing how to use it
Let me try again. same module (taxonomy) I need to find out a clever way to structure our 'categories' and 'tags' in a way that they can be be combined
I think this can be done by creating a hierarchy of vocabularies/categories
so what I wonder is can I make a category become the parent or child of another category? at the moment I dont see this option (I can see that I can make a term become the child or parent of another term, but what I need is a group of terms to be the parent of another group of terms)
The reason why I need this, its because the drop down menus at the moment are toooo long. For each term, I have say 10 child terms, which in turn have 10 child terms so its very difficult to select the right one(s) cause one gets lost before finding the right category Plus I cannot selectively make one term mandatory, say a parent, and the children optional (for those who may want to have more granular keywords)
So one way of doing that (perhaps) would be for each parent term have a new 'category', so that each parent term can be made mandatory (hence creating a superstructure) and then making one or more children optional, and then linking a freeflowing tags to that. Has someone implemented a nice complex hierarchy using taxonomy module and has advice ?
thanks
