Hello!

I installed taxonews, it works fine so far, just some Questions left:
1. Is it possible to get a "read more" link, if there are mor node, related to the term, then displayed in the block?
2. and/or the title of the block (that is the taxonomy term), as Link to the related taxonomy site? (for example to /taxonomy/term/2 ?)
3. If the abouve is possible, is there any trick, how to redirect the links, to a view, instead to the original /taxonomy/terms/xy site?
4. related to that I have Problems with the Archiv function If I enable that function, the archive link is also displayed, if there are no older nodes, then the treshhold.

5. Btw.: How could the taxonews block be themed? I want to have one headline before the taxonews blocks, NEWS, below that all the taxonews blocks.

Thanks for that grate module!
And thanks for your Answer/Support.

Hello Florian. I'm not sure I understand your question. Answering on each point (you really should open one issue per specific point, it's easier to track)

  1. as I understand your question, this is the purpose of the "Archive" link, which points to the full list of nodes matching the term.
  2. as I understand your question, this is already the case
  3. not directly, but see point 5
  4. I just do not understand what that question means: if you enable the Archive (read more) link, then the Archive link is displayed. What would you want exactly ?
  5. taxonews includes one themable function, called theme_taxonews_block_view, which you can override in your theme, to make the block look exactly the way you want, including the question raised on point 3

If you have a plain PHP theme, just create a function called yourtheme_taxonews_block_view. If you're not familiar with this, look at the sources for the Chameleon theme.

If you are using a templating system like PHPtemplate, you should ask for help on #drupal-themes, because I do not use this and couldn't help you efficiently on this.

1. Ok, I just changed "Archive" in the modules code to Overview, that works fine ...

2.
My block looks like that:
Term 1
nodetitle 1
nodetitle 2 ...

But Term 1 is only shown a headline, not as link, but with the Archive link, that is not necessary any more!

4. Ok, I missunderstood that function.... No everything works fine

5. Ok, will have A look for that ...

Thanks for support!

Regarding point 1, note that you should typically never change code in a module, because it will mean maintenance hassles for you later on.

OTOH, if you theme the blocks as explained for points 3 and 5, you can change the title of the block there, which completely removes the need for this change to the module.

AIUI, this answers the 5 points, does it not ? If this is the case, please mark the issue as fixed: as the issue author, this is typically up to you to decide whether it has been answered or not.
