This is something that's bothered me in general. I hate that taxmenu just throws all of it's configuration into the variables table.

In this situation, there's a huge potential for hundreds of variable_sets and later on hundreds of variable_gets. A real performance sink.

Marking as needs work. I think there's a better solution here. Also, there's a fair amount of coding standards problems in this patch.

Have re-created the patch to try and fix the code styling issues and improve the use of variable_get/_set functions. In the patch only 1 variable is used to store the settings for including/excluding a taxonomy term in the menu, meaning that it does not need to do a variable_get/_set for each taxonomy term.
I have created a patch for both the 6.x-2.x branch and the tag 6.x-2.9, because after creating the patch for the 6.x-2.x branch, i got errors when trying to apply it to the 6.x-2.9 tag. due to changes to comment styling between the branch and the tag.

Any feedback is welcome and i will look into a D7 patch when i have some time to do it.

Uploading the 6.x-2.9 patch again so that this issue can be closed as resolved. The failed patch was for the 6.x-2.x branch, as explained in the comment.

#3: hide_from_menu_6.x-2.x-1123152-3.patch queued for re-testing.

With the patch in #5 it is not possible to delete terms from a vocabulary.

Attached is a patch that allows delete of taxonomy terms. Apply to 6.x-2.9.

Also attached an interdiff to #5.

I'm not sure this is the right approach.
There are several other issues that deal with 'syncing' the menu item properties with the taxonomy terms.
To mention just one: #1485198: Menu_links properties (parent plid, hidden, weight) not saved after node creation/update/deletion (in _taxonomy_menu_save() )
IMO the right approach would be to support the 'hidden' property of the corresponding menu item, instead of removing the tree.

delete the specific menu item from the database.
the table is called 'ryd_taxonomy_vocabulary' in your phpMyAdmin
the mysterious menu item you want gone should be in there.
Mine was called 'Taxonomy Terms'

The Drupal 6 version is no longer supported
