Display Decendents doesn't work

I have the same problem.

The menu inheritance doesn't seem to be working, which seems to be more of a Drupal 6.x issue than with this module. There's another issue similar to this (http://drupal.org/node/263766) in which someone suggests just adding the access arguments. By copying the access arguments, file, and page callback to the child menu definition, it started working just fine for me.

Isn't this a drupal 5.x bug? I don't see how to apply the drupal 6.x patch to it. I am also not getting descendants in drupal 5.10, and the topic menu no longer expands to my current topic the way it used to.

[Update: I don't know what I did to get this working again, but my descendants and menus are back. Possibly I disabled and reenabled taxonomy_menu enough times that the issue cleared up.]

I installed the most recent dev, put the taxonomy menu in its own menu, enabled the block, and ran update, and descendants work. Unfortunately, I was frustrated and in a rush, so I couldn't tell you which of these made the difference. The point is, though, that descendents are working for me. Praise be to the internet gods! (And to trevor.eye9 for working on this.)
:-D

I am going to go out on a limb and guess that "Display Descendants" only affects the nodes that are displayed when you're using Taxonomy_Menu's own node display system to display the nodes.

If you're using something else (eg. a view) to display the nodes, Taxonomy_Menu's node display settings won't affect the nodes displayed because it has no direct control over the nodes displayed by that node display mechanism.

Try editing the view directly - if it uses a "Taxonomy: Term ID" argument you should be able to change the depth of the terms searched for nodes by setting the option to a high number (like 5 or something).
