Hi,

Maybe this is something that's already easy to do. I just couldn't find it.

Here's the problem: I've got a Drupal site where I have way more taxonomy terms than nodes. I want to find a way to edit the nodes which are associated with a particular taxonomy term. So, for example, in a taxonomy edit form, I would be able to edit a list of nodes (e.g. just their titles or nids) which that term is associated with.

Is there anything already that can do this?

Thanks,
Zach

Maybe I don't understand.
Suppose that you list all the nodes associated with term 38:

taxonomy/term/38

Now what do you want to do? Open them one by one and change their titles? (You can't change their nids.)

Yeah, I'd want to be able to list all the ones currently associated with term 38, and then add or subtract from that list.

So at first, taxonomy/term/38 would pull up nodes 23, 86, 112, and 304, but then I wanted to add a few, so I'd edit a text field or select options on a list so that after saving the term, it would pull up 23, 86, 112, 304, 309, (or whatever else).

I guess it would kind of be the inverse of the way taxonomy terms are applied to nodes.

I just mentioned nids because that's a more useful reference (in this particular implementation) than the node titles.

Does that make sense?

Yes, I think so.

You can't add node 309 directly in that list because it was not already in that list to find it, open it and tag it. And if you want to add nodes which did not already belong to some known category or other, there is no other place to find them all except the admin/content/node page which lists all nodes.
