Hi all. I'm trying to show a taxonomy filter using two vocabularies: "download categories" (games, office...) and "download platform" (mac, pc...), without sucess. I have correctly installed taxonomy filter, edited my categories and all that, but no filter is shown. I'm using pathauto for my taxonomies (mysite.com/downloads/games, etc). Does this filter work with pathauto? Or am I missing something more here? Thank you.

It should still work with pathauto installed (although I haven't tested that).

Make sure that in /admin/settings/taxonomy_filter you are still listening for taxonomy/term/%tids/%depth urls. taxonomy_filter generally uses the underlying arguments not the path aliases to figure out which urls to listen on and which term ids to show etc.

While it could be configured to output links in the format of /downloads/term1id,term2id/depth, it won't (in its current version) be able to automatically do stuff like /downloads/term1name,term2name/depth unless there is an actual alias for that full url - that could potentially be a lot of aliases you'd need to generate for each combination.

Let me know how you get on....

Thank you... but I can't get it to work. Maybe I'm misunderstanding the module options. I have set my categories in this way:

· Download categories - Taxonomy_Filter settings: Filter Vocabulary (Download categories & Downloads Platform marked), Menu Type (Static list of terms), Amount of extra terms (lots), Listing depth (not specified), Result handling (first two options marked)

· Download platform - Taxonomy_Filter settings: the same config as DOwnload categories.

Then I go to, for example, Downloads > Games and I don't see the expected filter (Mac - Windows).

Am I doing something wrong? Thank you very much in advanced.

What are your settings at:

/admin/settings/taxonomy_filter

??

URLs to listen on: taxonomy/term/%tids/%depth
URL format: taxonomy/term/%tids/%depth

I assume the settings at /admin/build/block are correct for the Taxonomy Filter block? ie that is enabled in a visible region and it is visible on all pages etc.

What happens when you put /taxonomy/term/x in your browser? Where x is a valid taxonomy term id from one of the terms in a filtered vocab. Do you get the block appearing?

Finally I got it working. It was something related to a bad code in my template.php file. Thank you VERY much for your support!

That's great to hear.

Feel free to create feature requests to improve pathauto integration. As I'm not a pathauto user, I don't really know how it could be improved.

Hi,

I've got the same problem, I'm using pathauto to generate URLs for taxonomy/term/x and can not get this module to work with it. Using the actual system path, it works great.

Thanks,
Irmo
