I created a content type and added two Taxonomy Fields configuring them to:
Autocomplete & allow and insert new terms.
I allowed multiple values
Save option = both and I checked show term as links.
I selected the Vocabulary that it applies to, and Terms is left blank or ---, my depth is 1 because this is a single level vocabulary.

I deselected this as a node type in Categories so it would only show on the node once.

When it's set up like this, clicking on the term link doesn't show all nodes that are "taged" with the term. It only shows the node it was added on.

The only way I can get it to show all nodes that have the same term is to add it to the Categories type for this Content Type, and then the field is on the Create Content form twice.

Maybe I'm doing something wrong, or I'm missing a step somewhere. I would think you should only have to enter it once, but then again I don't understand half of what I'm doing ;-)

I tried to reconstruct your problem. First I added a select field to my content type and I had no connection between a vocabulary and the content type. I selected the same tag for different nodes and on the term link page (e.g ../taxonomy/term/12) all nodes were shown, but I still know, there may be some problems with the autocomplete and the loading of new added terms, because I'm using my own autocomplete function. I'll work on that.

One other possible problem might be, that there are small differences between newer versions of the taxonomy module. I'll check this.

Additional I know, this module might be a bit confusing at the first moment, because it offers many different options in the admin pages. I have to add more documentation.

Maybe you could explain what it is this module actually does, or allows you to do. What I thought it did was give you a way to have both a tag and cck data for the same word allowing you to use either taxonomy or cck to do stuff with the information. Meaning:

If I created and added via your module the word CD I would be able to click on CD and see any reference to CD that was either a taxonomy term or part of a CCK field.

The more I'm thinking about this I may be understanding it more... One the page (form, node, content type) that includes this field where the word CD shows as part of the actual content, what I'm clicking on is a reference to the cck field, but when I click on the "tag" that also shows in this page (at the top with any other tags) then I'm using taxonomy.

So when the Category (Vocabulary) doesn't have the node (content type) selected as one of it's types, you have no access to the Taxonomy and therefore can't choose to pull all the nodes that contain that term (tag). That's why it needs to be there twice. Maybe there is a way to adjust the display of the taxonomy portion when creating content versus display once it's created.

The problem for me is I don't actually understand yet what anything does or how it does it... I'm learning but I'm not clear yet :o)

I think your problem and mine is the same.... or at least are related....

take a look to my situation:

Title: Without using vocabulary the "tag" isn't pulling all content under the tag. » tagging a node through cck "taxonomy field"
Category: support » feature

I made the same wrong assumptions, apparently taxonomy field type is meant as a reference to taxonomy terms instead of a way to tag nodes.

I guess however that it would be a nice feature to have the possibility to tag a node through cck... Maybe in some distant release the taxonomy system could merge with cck?

I'm pretty sure my problem is related to these same issues. I've added 2 different taxonomy fields to my particular content type. Each of these is linked to a different vocab and set to autocomplete. The autocomplete works fine and the terms are added to the vocab. However, as others have stated, there is not a link to the terms in the taxonomy; they appear to be separate. This is one issue.

The issue that got me searching around because it is of more importance to me is a problem using this with pathauto. I'm trying to use these 2 taxonomy fields as components in a node path in pathauto. Strangely, it almost works. When the mode is posted, the URL doesn't show these 2 fields. However, if I go into pathatuo and tell it to bulk update all nodes with the paths, it makes the correction and then the path to the node is what I wanted. It's as if the data isn't being saved to the cck field or something when posted.

Thoughts anyone??

Thanks!
