Taxonomy_image
Purpose


Attach an image to each node in specified taxonomies based on terms.
Child terms can have parent images if no images are designed for child
terms.
UI


In admin/settings/taxonomy_image, admins can set the basic settings for
the module. In admin/categories an additional tab is added to allow
users to upload one image per taxonomy term. After inserting
appropriate function calls to display_taxonomy_image() in the theme,
images will be displayed with nodes.
Pros


   1. Does what it says: associates nodes with taxonomy terms
   2. Upload UI easy to use.
   3. Easy to add all the images for a multi-tagged node.


Cons:


   1. Upload module does not appear to use the upload module
   2. Multi-parent nodes do not appear to recurse properly.
   3. Module requires users to add calls to display_taxonomy_image(nid,
tags) in theme_node to display the images
   4. The same effect could be achieved in CSS (perhaps).


Conclusion


This module has uses, but is difficult to implement. It currently
requires a non-trivial change in the theme. A filter to replace
[taxonomy-image] or [taxonomy-image:term] would be a useful UI addition
to this module. There are some problems with recursively choosing parent
images.
