Description
Hi everyone,
taxonomy menu seems to be lacking an active developer, and as taxonomy context seemed to me to have most features taxonomy menu has, I thought one could integrate the two. For taxonomy context, it would "only" mean to integrate the menu into the navigation block or another similar block, and we would have the big advantage of not having the taxonomy_menu addresses anymore.
Well, just a thought, I think if it can be done, it would be awesome.
Have a nice day!
Felix.

also check out my new module, panels taxonomy. It lets you use whatever URL's you want, but rewrites all of the taxonomy links to point to your custom URLs. quite frankly IMO it pwnz the existing options :P

Hi edrex,
your module looks nice, indeed, but can you easily add a menu to browse your taxonomies as with taxonomy menu or taxonomy context? That's my major concern, as I wouldn't like to build all the menu entries by myself. The integration with the two other modules looks very interesting, indeed, but it also means you need two more rather big modules in your installation.
Thank you anyway, have a nice day,
Felix.

p_t doesn't use the menu system, except to set breadcrumbs. it provides a navigation "pane" (block in panels parlance). Menu's API is too hard to integrate with, it's designed as a URL/function mapper and the navigation bit is just tacked on as an afterthought. I hope the D6 menu system is better in this regard, but I'm not optimistic.
