Hi List,

I have a vocab called class, with several terms representing different classes .

Each class, has a forum and an image gallery. These are in seperate vocabs though (drupal creates a new taxonomy when you create a new forum or image gallery).

You can use the same taxonomy for both, if you want.

How do you mean? If I allow 'forum' under the existing taxonomy then it wont show up under website.com/forum (if this is what you asked me to do)

...

Is there a way to logically link/relate vocabularies so that I can have links to 'class forum' and 'class image gallery' from the class room page? I know this can be done using regular expressions but am wondering if drupal handles it in a better way.

there might be a contributed module that does that, but I am not aware of any.

Cheers, Gerhard

Thanks. 'distantparent', if it works is exactly what I am looking for.

Depending on the exact functionality you want, you could try one of several things:

1. Set up linked terms within each class as synonyms 2. The distantparent module 3. The what's related module 4. Or, possibly some of the functionality in the user related content, what's related, or contextlinks modules.

With that said, I'd probably tie them all together using a php snippet inserted into a page -- this will give you more precise control over what terms show where, which generally translates into greater ease of use for site members.

Hope this helps.

Cheers,

Bill
