[drupal-devel] Folksonomy: No taxonomy.module Changes / URL Design

[Julian Bond]

Ooops. I missed this discussion. Please see
http://www.voidstar.com/node.php?id=2262 and
http://drupal.org/node/18826

I think I'd better read up about sandbox. ;-)

Very similar to awtags.

Are you sure you need uid on term_node? It's inevitably available with a 
join to node. There's a slight conceptual difference in that 
term_node.uid would be all the terms I've created whereas term_node join 
node.uid is all the terms I've used.

taxonomy/tname/hello  any tag from any vocab named "hello"
taxonomy/tvname/mytags/hello hello tag from vocab mytags
taxonomy/tvname/mytags anything tagged with any term from vocab mytags
