Replace aggregator category system with taxonomy

Issue Summary

The Aggregator module allows the creation of categories to file the news feed. The creation of categories is done manually, though.

What about the possibility to assign an already created vocabulary to define the aggrgator categories?

It would be quite useful. For example, if my site has a vocabulary "topic" with entries such as film, radio, tv, press with which I organize articles and the forum, I could use this same vocabulary to organize news feeds.

Title:Assign vocabulary for Aggregator categories» Replace aggregator category system with taxonomy

#293318: Make Aggregator feeds into entities will open the opportunity to replace aggregator categorization with taxonomy in a very simple way: Aggregator items could be listed by their feed's taxonomies. The only setting necessary would be to assign which vocabulary to use for generating listings of aggregator items.

This approach will support categorization on a feed level, but not on a feed item level. I personally think this limitation would be fine.

Objections?

#4

The main question I have is what to do about the existing aggregator URLs - would we create new vocabularies for the existing categories and use hook_term_path() maybe?
