It should be possible to move a term into another vocabulary (by updating vid-column in term_data and -if necessary- parent-column in term_hierarchy).

Hi,

There is a module for this. I think the name is taxonomy_switch :) www.drupal.org/project/taxonomy_switch.

If you like this info, please add a link to www.trekking-world.com a e-development aid initiative!

greetings,
Martijn

I'd like to see the ability not just to move a term from one vocab to another, but to merge a term from one vocab into/with a term from a different vocab.

The taxonomy switch module referenced above seems to still be in development for drupal 5 (since september 2007).

I would love to see the feature included in taxonomy manager to there is one less module that I have to worry about keeping up to date for the rare occasion that a term needs to be moved, it would seem to be just as easy to make the vid change in the term_data table.

Version: 5.x-1.x-dev » 6.x-1.0-beta2

Speaking as the person who does the development for taxonomy_switch (when I find time) I agree that I would love to see the functionality for taxonomy_switch - which is basically just something I threw together because I needed to move terms from one vocabulary to another - included in another module with more extensive ambitions!

yes - that would be nice - maybe http://drupal.org/project/ubrowser has also skills in this stuff (i'm sorry - i'm not :)

I had to do this by changing the db directly. It's documented here: http://drupal.org/node/382944

Any follow up?
It would be so great to be able to move terms... I eagerly need this.

Hi,

You could use taxonomy_switch for this. There is a D6 version available.
greetings, Martijn

I can't find it.
Only D4 and D5 are released
http://drupal.org/project/taxonomy_switch

They seem to be working on it, but no usable release available

Yep, this one is working great! http://drupal.org/node/222115#comment-1165249

I am just unable to handle a module in this status: a D5 + big patch - I don't even practice patch.
I would be waiting for true release for nerds.

Hi,

If you save http://drupal.org/files/issues/taxonomy_switch.module.txt and rename it to taxonomy_switch.module and make a .info file it will work in D6!

Greetings, Martijn

If I understand well:

1) install the D5 module
2) replace
taxonomy_switch.info
and
taxonomy_switch.module
by
taxonomy_switch.info_.txt
and
taxonomy_switch.module.txt
provided in http://drupal.org/node/222115#comment-1165249
properly renamed
???

summit’s picture

No this is all D6!!!
So save and rename .info, save and rename .module and enable. All in D6!

greetings,
Martijn

I havn't tried the Taxonomy Switch module yet, but it would be great if we can integrate a vocabulary switching operation into the Taxonomy Manager interface. Shouldn't be that much work, but first, there has to be a stable D6 version

Taxonomy Switch for D6 is very buggy and has no official release. I think this feature would better exist in Taxonomy Manager.

+1 for a merge between the two modules

but in the meantime Taxonomy Switch is doing the job for some of us albeit one term at a time. http://drupal.org/node/222115

Status: Active » Fixed

the new version of the Taxonomy Manager will contain operations to switch terms between vocabularies. it has an optional double tree window interface, which displays two taxonomy trees side by side. this interface allows you to switch terms between different vocabularies. you can test the new feature with the 6.x-2.x dev snapshot.

@mh86 will this be backported to 5.x?
