Views filter and taxonomy synonyms
newbuntu - January 21, 2008 - 20:40
Doesn't look like view filters work on synonyms.
e.g. I have a "semester" voc, and terms are "2008Spring, 2008Fall, 2007Fall, ..." and "current". I made "current" and "2008Spring" synonyms.
I set filter on "current", but those "2008Spring" nodes don't show up. I searched around, it looks like it's not supported.
Does anyone have any additional information?
Thanks in advance!

It's a little different than what you're asking for but I've used synonyms for arguments before. It's a little bit of a hack, but I wanted a way to use taxonomy terms in a URL without having to put + signs where there are spaces. Using synonyms allowed me to display a term like "American Literature" properly in the view's title with spaces and capitalization, but also use a URL like /subjects/americanliterature instead of /subjects/american+literature.
Here's the code I used in the argument handling code section:
if (isset($args[0])) {
// fetch terms based on the argument in the URL
$query = "select term_synonym.*, term_data.name as termname from term_synonym left join term_data on term_synonym.tid = term_data.tid where term_synonym.name = '". $args[0] ."'";
$result = mysql_query($query);
$data = mysql_fetch_assoc($result);
if (!empty($data['termname'])) {
// if the argument is a synonym for another term, use the term's proper name
$args[0] = $data['termname'];
}
else {
// if there's no term with this synonym, than it must be just a regular term name
$args[0] = ucwords($args[0]);
}
}
return $args;
Use the synonyms module to
Use the synonyms module to enable search indexing of synonyms and then use the search index filter in views. I think this may work.
