Hello,
i've this issue with D7 theming.

I am overriding the tpl suggestion by using
taxonomy-term--VOCABULARY_NAME.tpl.php

The page outputs fine, BUT every node (with $teaser=1 mode) is being output at the bottom of the page, so i cannot fit nodes in my layout. What am i missing?

Here's my tpl

<?php include dirname(__FILE__) . '/includes/taxonomy-header.inc' ?>
<h1><?php print ucfirst($name)?></h1>
<?php //this is the main, left-floated, area ?>
<div id="social_news" class="left">
</div>
<?php //this is some kind of right column ?>
<div id="big_puppet_right" class="left">
  <div id="text_puppet" class="left">
  </div>
</div>
<?php //nodes are being output here, while i want them in the social_news block ?>
⋅ Categories: Drupal 7.x

Can you please try using the following name for the tpl file

taxonomy-term--VOCABULARY_ID.tpl.php

-Mohit

You mean using vid? I don't think this is possible.

taxonomy-term--[vocabulary-machine-name|tid].tpl.php
base template: taxonomy-term.tpl.php
Theme hook suggestions are made based on these factors, listed from the most specific template to the least. Drupal will use the most specific template it finds:

taxonomy-term--tid.tpl.php
taxonomy-term--vocabulary-machine-name.tpl.php
taxonomy-term.tpl.php
Note that underscores in a vocabulary's machine name are replaced by hyphens.

Full topic here: http://drupal.org/node/1089656

Any numeric value put in there would be considered as a TID.

I found out this: http://drupal.org/project/disable_term_node_listings

I find really strange that one should entirely suppress the node listing, and embedding views or blocks. I mean, what would be the point of theming taxonomy page if you can't control the node display?

Wow, there's really no way to tell taxonomy-term.tpl.php to suppress the listings? That's ridiculous.

FWIW, this is how disable_term_node_listings does it:

/**
 * Implements hook_menu_alter().
 */
function disable_term_node_listings_menu_alter(&$items) {
  // Take over from the taxonomy module.
  $items['taxonomy/term/%taxonomy_term'] = array(
    'page callback' => 'disable_term_node_listings_term_page',
    'page arguments' => array(2),
    'access arguments' => array('access content'),
  );
}

/**
 * Menu callback; displays all nodes associated with a term.
 *
 * @param object $term
 *   The taxonomy term.
 *
 * @return string
 *   The page content.
 */
function disable_term_node_listings_term_page($term) {
  // Check if the term that this vocabulary belongs to has listings disabled.
  $term_list_disabled = variable_get('disable_term_node_listings_' . $term->vocabulary_machine_name, FALSE);

  if ($term_list_disabled) {
    // Set the title and return all the field data.
    drupal_set_title($term->name);
    return taxonomy_term_view($term, 'full');
  }
  else {
    // We have to pull in taxonomy's pages include so we can call its function.
    module_load_include('inc', 'taxonomy', 'taxonomy.pages');
    return taxonomy_term_page($term);
  }
}

The part that seems special is

<?php include dirname(__FILE__) . '/includes/taxonomy-header.inc' ?>

One could make a block that has this functionality, place in the content area and limit the pages it shows on.

As a guess header is a banner image in which case one could add an image field to the vocabularies in question.

I can't get your point, how should this be helpful? I can get rid of the header, or of the entire tpl code, nodes keeps showing automatically and that's what i'm in trouble with.

If the only thing that is special/different is the taxonomy header I would not use a tpl.php file, instead I would use a block.

brazorf commented

OK, now i got you. No, that's not the only difference, thank you anyway.

Hello, sorry for bumping this but im facing the very same question again, and still i can't understand what i'm missing.
This time it is a much easier situation.

  1. I'm working on a clean Bartik theme
  2. I added taxonomy-term.tpl.php
  3. Themed my taxonomy term page, that's ok

Now, below my template, nodes are output. Say

<!-- Here's where taxonomy-term.tpl.php starts -->
<div class='my-awesome-taxonomy-theming'>More HTML code</div>
<!-- / Here's where taxonomy-term.tpl.php ends-->

<!-- Here's where nodes are being output-->

Which tpl is responsible for this to happen? I mean, there should be some
print statement, somewhere, that is causing nodes rendering.

Whats your actual goal here?

brazorf commented

My goal is theme the taxonomy-term template, controlling the microlayout in which nodes are shown.

Edit the node template, I think there is almost a fundamental disconnect in this thread, taxonomy term tpl is for terms. Node teasers appear on taxonomy term list pages, e.g. /taxonomy/term/1 is a list of nodes tagged with term id 1.

I can see how this is confusing, but the taxonomy term template is for the display of a term.

Noted, but I think you're misinterpreting the problem. If you look at taxonomy-term.tpl.php, the only code there is for theming the term title, description and any fields. The items themselves aren't stored in a themable array or something somewhere -- they're just appended to the end of the term template by taxonomy.module.

This is annoying if, for instance, you have a container and want to wrap each node being listed in a wrapping div or something, which is then wrapped in a column div.

Ok Jeff and aendrew, thank you for gettin my point. Problem is quite there imho, because for Drupal a default taxonomy page is
- the themed taxonomy_term
- the themed related nodes in teaser mode
Period.

What i am talkin about is the possibility of theming the layout in which node teasers are shown, without using view. Isn't strange that we don't have an overridable taxonomy-term-page.tpl? I know we can theme every page as we like, but here i'm talkin about a "native" template as there's one for nodes, terms, etc.
