I've successfully set up a taxonomy vocabulary and it works fine with Location Taxonomize. When attempting to use that vocabulary with Taxonomy Menu to be able to display a menu of the taxonomy terms, there appears to be an inability for Taxonomy Menu to recognize or utilize taxonomy terms in the location_taxonomize vocabulary. When the batch process is happening it seems to read the number of taxonomy terms, but when finished none show up in the vocabulary.

If I manually add a term to the vocabulary it is indeed created as a menu item in the Taxonomy Menu, so it works in that respect, just not for the automatically-generated-by-batch terms from Location Taxonomize.

Any ideas? The terms are in the vocabulary, but they are not conveyed into the menu. I realize this borders inbetween this module and the Taxonomy Menu but it seems like there's something that's keeping the taxonomy terms from being "real" for fully employed, maybe it's the "keep synced" part, dunno.

Any help would be appreciated, running out of options here to get a simple taxonomy to appear on a panel page.

I have the same problem. I suspect this is because in the module there is some magic attached to some taxonomy form alter. But in our case the logic is handled by Location taxonomize and isn't passed through the form at all.

Like the Taxonomy Menu action is on the submission of an "add term" form (form alter you mentioned) but ultimately doesn't actually scan the vocabulary for new items which would clearly be a more complex mechanism.

I'm wondering if this works with community tagging free-tagging vocabularies where a user viewing a page can add a tag, just a thought.

I am building a solution to this, for now using a custom module with a form alter and the functions provided by taxonomy menu, taxonomy_menu_taxonomy_term_insert, taxonomy_menu_taxonomy_term_update and taxonomy_menu_taxonomy_term_delete. You could also try to use rules to fire of these functions.

I'm not sure how Location Taxonomize works, but I guess you can add a location_taxonomize term to a Location node.
ATM TM does not support updates of nodes.
See the following issue for that: #1885128: Update Taxonomy Menu links after node creation/update/deletion

Location Taxonomize automatically creates a hierarchy of terms in a vocabulary based on a hierarchy of location fields (like Address Field) so country is highest in the hierarchy, with state within it, and city within it, etc.

I'm simply trying to get Taxonomy Menu to present that vocabulary to provide an alternate view of locations on a site besides markers on a map.
