Add Taxonomy Terms to CCK Images (D7)

Posted by trailrunner on July 29, 2012 at 11:07pm

Hey there,

I am building a website and what I basically am looking to do is this:

1) Client creates a report with images
2) Images are "tagged" with terms
3) Views can be made of reports
4) Views can be made of the images, based on the tags (this will be a finite list)

So far I haven't seen a way to add tags (taxonomy terms) to individual images within a content type. Does anyone have any thoughts on this?

Thanks,

- Peter

Create a taxonomy vocabulary

Create a taxonomy vocabulary for your "report" content type. Then you can make views of the report content type based on the taxonomy as well as views of the report content type, limited to the image field in the content type, based on the same taxonomy.

Thanks for the response. I

Thanks for the response. I forgot to mention that my images need to hypothetically have different tags within the same piece of content. I did figure out a way to do this, though.

Basically my method is to use Node Reference (References in D7) to add images (a content type) to the master "report". This way I can use the images as content in views or whatever anywhere else on the site in a number of different ways.

Sure, that will work too. I

Sure, that will work too. I didn't suggest anything like that because it seemed like you did not want your images to be nodes themselves.
