Hi, I've just done a Drupal search on Taxonomy and was very surprised to come up with many modules related to this. I was wondering if it is possible to build a web site or blog with taxonomy so that logged in users can configure what topics they see and hide what they don't want to see. For example, if I had a web site with sport categories 1) Football 2) Basketball 3) Athletics etc, etc, if I wanted to, I would only see the posts on 1 & 2 and not 3 if that is all I subscribed too? Can this be easily done? Thanks Geoff
User-Selectable Roles: http://drupal.org/project/user_selectable_roles
One of the ideas behind that module is to use access control to hide and show content, and then allow a user to pick which things are available to them. If you use Taxonomy Access Control, and assign roles per taxonomy, a user could then pick what roles they wanted.
Alternatively, you can have a custom view, with an exposed field that remembers the user's last selected option, that would allow a user to pick and choose what content they wanted to see.

Thanks. There is not that much information on it there, but I trust a user can change their settings any time and that they could remain logged in via cookie and every time they visited the site they would get their custom view rather than the general one. Thanks again Geoff On Wed, Jun 24, 2009 at 5:32 AM, Kathleen Murtagh kathleen@ceardach.comwrote:
