[development] Overriding taxonomy term page

[Metzler, David]

I'd agree that this issue is a good long term solution to controlling look and feel of taxonomy terms, but if you're trying to do this more as a piece of functionality for a contributed module, you might consider using hook_block or hook_menu to create the links conditionally, and then using a theme that supports block links in either the footer or the content. Either the menu or the blocks could invoke a test (using $_GET['q'] or arg), or you could just conditionally place the blocks in the footer using the stock block configuration. 
 
The reason I suggest this, is that it's nice to give users of your module placement options when providing links without having to perform a custom theme hack (especially for us multi-site hosters).

Thanks Bèr. It was exactly a year before my question too - how random.
I'll add to that issue.


Cheers,
