how to have a block of links to all terms which match taxonomy like Reviews: Anime Or Reviews: Movies without doing it manually
it should be titled, Reviews and underneath all blogs or stories which matched.
Answer
You might want to use the Taxonomy dhtml module.
You will need to create a new Block of type=php. You will then want to paste in the code below, and customize the 'Physicians' subject and the $tax array. $tax the list of tids that you are inetrested in. The third element, named 'operator', can be and or or. So in your case, assuming the term ID for movies is '3' and the term ID admin/taxonomy/edit/term/3 for Anime is '6' admin/taxonomy/edit/term/6, you want:
<?php
// paste this code into a custom block of type=php
// customize the $tax array and the $subject as needed
$tax = array(3, 6);
$operator = "or";
$result = taxonomy_select_nodes($tax, $operator);
while ($obj = db_fetch_object($result)) {
$node = node_load(array('nid' => $obj->nid));
$items[] = l($node->title, "node/". $node->nid);
}
return theme('item_list', $items);
?>A Block that returns the first 5 terms for a taxonomy
<?php
$taxo_id = 3;
$sql = "SELECT node.title, node.nid FROM node INNER JOIN term_node ON node.nid = term_node.nid WHERE term_node.tid = $taxo_id LIMIT 5";
$output .= "<ul>";
$result = db_query($sql);
while ($anode = db_fetch_object($result)) {
$output .= "<li>".l($anode->title, "node/$anode->nid")."</li>";
}
$output .= "</ul>";
return $output;
?>
