some time ago i lost my vocabularies in menu navigation. not sure, around update to dp 7.4 or later (actual running dp 7.7). only terms are listed .. tried "rebuilding on save" in taxonomy menu, no luck. tested with versions 7.x-1.2 and 7.x-1.x-dev, only terms are listed.

to ensure my site setup isn't broken or modules are conflicting i setup a fresh site for testing. dp 7.7 and only taxonomy menu modul, no views or other modules. added one vocabular with two terms, on save/rebuild only terms showed up in navigation.

testsetup was:

-vocabular: Cars
-terms: Buggies and Trucks
-per term one node (story) with content

navigation shows only "Buggies" and "Trucks", "Cars" is missing.

did i miss something "special" between some updates of drupal or taxonomy menu? searched issues but didn't found anything usefull regarding my problem...

any help or hint would be appreciated!

Hi Martin,

I have replicated your example and this is the expected behavior. I am working with this module and to add cars would need 'car' to become a term parent of buggy and truck as follows:

  VEHICLES  (vocab)
      |
     Cars  (term)
   --------
  |        |
Truck   Buggy  (term)

To double check, I even installed on old 7.0 version I have as test.

Taxonomy Manager is useful to see what’s going on : http://drupal.org/project/taxonomy_manager

Hope this helps.
Tim

hi tim,

thanks for checking. in your example the VEHICLES vocab doesn't show up in menu navigation on my site, so my navigation is completly broken.

i've tested this on my (privat) production and a fresh installed test site, both with dp 7.8 and latest taxonomy_menu dev version. vocabularies gone missing around an update to dp 7.4/7.5.

i'll take a look on taxonomy_manager, thanks for pointing on this.

edit:

on my lab site (dp7.8) i tested your example:

  VEHICLES  (vocab)
      |
     Cars  (term)
   --------
  |        |
Truck   Buggy  (term)

navigation now shows:

Cars
  |
  - Buggy
  - Truck

VEHICLE is missing.

Hi Martin, to be clear - VEHICLES (vocab) WONT turn up! I was explaining that what you are experiencing was the *correct* way it works - you wont get any Vocabs showing up :)

Cars as parent to Buggy + Truck as you have shown is how the design is meant to be. So it is working fine! :D

In my own use I set a Vocabulary to 'MENU' for example, and not have it show up as an item in the menu (just the terms below it).

Version 6 was different behavior however from memory of using it on a D6 site.

Cheers!

hi tim,

thanks for your patience, but now i'm a little bit confused. this makes the use of vocabularies unnecessary to get a structured navigation.

i'm sure this was working before dp 7.4, and its working on dp 6.x right now.

to clarify, do i have to restructure my whole site to "one menu" to get this kind of navigation "working" again .. ??

cheers!

Hi Martin, I used this module with D7 using the released January 2011 version. That's why I went back to an old clone version I have to re-test and check for you. From what i can see, the vocab is 'MENU' and all menu items/structure is from 'terms'. If you compare D7 to D6 version you can see that *some* hierarchical functionality options have been removed in D7 (going from memory?). You can always create another menu name and assign this from a corresponding vocabulary name (but defeats the purpose here somewhat!).

Can we get this situation confirmed here maybe by others or the maintainer?

In terms of restructuring your menu - I hope this is simple - you could move the entire tree layout around using Taxonomy Manager very quickly by using the "move" function? Let me know if this works?

@Martin - here http://chrisshattuck.com/blog/how-add-block-menu-tags-or-other-taxonomy-... for D6 (see the vocab configuration bit that isn't in D7 version?)...

hi tim,

moving with taxonomy manager is only possible within the same vocabulary. maybe it works with the double tree function?

my workaround was creating all terms under the "tags" vocabulary, rebuild my structure and manually assigning all my content to the new structure. much mouse work but done now.

the only annoying thing now: after changing/adding content, menus gets expanded but "Show as expanded" is disabled in menu settings. i'll have a look at the issues to see if this is already known or a workaround exists.

thanks for your help!

hi tim,

this option is missing in dp7 version:

[] Add item for vocabulary
Shows the vocabulary name as the top level menu item of the taxonomy menu.

That's it!

Glad you are getting progress too :)

#11 same issue for me : check box is disabled. Same for "Use 'all' at the end of URL". Thanks for the help.

This report is a duplicate of #1034310: Where is 'Add item for Vocabulary?'.

The D7 version does not currently support adding the Vocabulary, which is why the element is disabled. If there's any further discussion needed, please have it at the issue linked above.
