Vocab generates new menu (not menu item) option

I have the same issue. Yes, you could correct this manually each time a vocabulary is added.
Can't there be a simple selectbox to select the right menu? Like you can choose a menu for Primairy links for example.
This make's so much sense to me.

No is not a good solution.... I think is very better if you have the choice to put you menu wehre you woulde like.

Agreed, I should work with child-terms instead of more vocabularies. So, closed then?

I tried to do this (remove it from Navigation by changing the "parent item" settings, and it didn't work. There doesn't appear to be any setting for not having a parent item -- i.e. having my taxonomy menu be a menu in itself. :-(

One of the things I've always found frustrating in setting up Drupal sites is that it seems like you always have to do everything twice when setting up your structure -- you have to go through and build it all in taxonomy, and then do it all again for the menus! Oh, and sometimes again for URL aliases (pathauto is supposed to help with that, but usually its picks are not very good so at least half of them need to be edited). I had hoped this module would let me skip the step of replicating my whole taxonomy structure as a menu, but I guess not, unless I for some reason want my primary links to be buried in the Navigation menu.

I guess the in-between option is to edit every top-level item under the taxonomy menu to put it under Primary Links instead -- that's still a fair bit of pointless repetition, but less than if I had to do it for all the subcategories as well.

Maybe in future versions there could be some option to have each taxonomy menu be either part of another menu or a menu in itself?

Hi spidersilk,

What worked for me was:
1. Create a custom menu.
2. Change the parent of the vocabulary menu item to the custom menu.
3. Disable the vocabulary menu item.

Then existing and new terms added to the vocabulary will appear at the root of the custom menu. This of course doesn't solve the problem of having to move new vocabularies to custom menus, but it does mean individual terms don't have to be moved (one can usually use an extra level of terms instead of new vocabularies). Hope this helps!

Oliver: this works great; thanks. This should be documented as part of the module, since I think many users may want this category>menu functionality.

jimtobias: Did you use this for 6.x versions of drupal as well?

I can't get this to work on 6.3. What does oliver mean by "3. Disable the vocabulary menu item."? If i disable the whole taxonomy in the menus settings, then the children (aka the terms i want to be displayed at root level) also dissapear.

Reopening this issue for the D6 version, since we now cannot assign to a custom menu and disable the vocab root item.

Oops...it helps to set it back to 'active' :) I'm also changing this to a feature request, since that's really what it is.

To clarify the issue, though: It seems that many people want the taxonomy itself to be a menu (not menu item)...that's really what we're trying to achieve here. So, the feature request would be: instead of making the vocab an item in the main navigation menu, allow creating of a new menu from that vocab (with the vocab name as the menu name, and the vocab terms as menu items)
