I'm using tagging to create blog categories, and want to be able to link to a page containing all blogs in that category, but, "not" to a taxonomy page but to a sub-page of /blog/.

I've had a look at various posts here that seem related but am having trouble understanding being a relative newbie and non-coder. It seems logical to me that "Make NAT terms in blog node views point to the associated node rather than the taxonomy page" would do what I need, but not so.

I am sure I'm missing a very important configuration point here as I'm not seeing the wood for the trees.

Just to clarify, I have a blog category called "Technical", ie. a taxonomy vocabulary called "Blog Categories" with the terms "Technical" and "Behaviour". When I click on the tag link at the bottom of a blog post, I want it to take me to say: /blog/technical instead of /taxonomy/term/n.

I hope the above makes sense (like I say, I'm not technical!).

Thanks in advance.

Create a node called "Technical" (blog/technical) and this should create a term called "Technical" (if not, review NAT setup and get this part working).

Tag a blog post with this term, and ensure "Make NAT terms in blog node views point to the associated node rather than the taxonomy page" is selected.

Working?

Thanks for responding, it will be Wednesday before I have a chance to give this a try but will do so then and post back.

I did find a simple way round the issue (though not an ideal one), since we will probably never use more than 5 or 6 blog categories I simply created the categories in taxonomy then created url aliases for each of those, as I say, not ideal but for now it works.

The method you suggest if it works, will be better in the long term as I will be creating another site with a large multi-user blog at a later date.

Thanks again.

Sorry for keeping you waiting. I eventually installed the Advanced Taxonomy Blocks module, was pretty simple to set up after that. No need to use the NAT (or NAT-NG) module after all.
