I'm confused. Does 6.x-1.01 work with Views? If so, can someone point me to the documentation please as I can't get the menus working with Views 6.x-2.1.

Thanks.

Subscribe - I've been surfing drupal.org for three days, tried making my own views and cloning drupals default taxonomy_term view, and I tried as you with term ID as argument and category/1/2/3/4/% as path. All I want to do is to make taxonomy menu to show 12 nodes instead of 10 as default when clicking the menu. But I cant find out how to emulate the resultpage from taxonomy menu with views :(

Subscribing. I am also trying to figure out how to customize the way that nodes are displayed when clicking the taxonomy menu. Seems that everything is displayed like the default taxonomy view, but I can't seem to figure out how to override it. Overriding the default taxonomy view does nothing.

This makes the module frustrating: I get really happy when I see my terms are automatically transformed into a menu; I get really sad when I see how the nodes are displayed and I can't control it.

Great module! How do we control how the nodes are displayed?

Yesturday I get this module and spend half day and find out that views integration functionality is not finished and all code is commented out. For my project this module is realy important and I open source and add uncoment all views integration functionality. After that I get much errors because in views 2 some functions was changed. several hours of tersting and fixing and I get what I need!!!! Taxonomy menu works with views module (maybe not full functionality but works)

This patch updates taxonomy menu for D6 so you can choose which view to use in admin/settings/taxonomy_menu. Enjoy!

Just applied this patch and it seems to work. THANKS!!!! I just wasted the last 3 hours trying to figure out why views wouldn't override the output. Thank God I found this post...

Thank you for doing this! I applied this patch but I don't know how to use it. Does this provide a view to override with views, just like the regular taxonomy_term view? Or do I need to create a view for this to use?

I can get views to alter the output of taxonomy_menu, but that screws up the menus so that every menu item points to the same taxonomy terms. When I associate the taxonomy_menu with my overridden taxonomy_term view, I get the same four nodes on every menu item! (in other words the menu links no longer display the correct nodes.

Is there a way to simply have taxonomy_menu generate menu items that link to regular taxonomy pages, such as taxonomy/term/13 ?

This way I can control it with the taxonomy_term view.

This patch makes it so you can select the view to use with taxonomy menu rather than using the default taxonomy view.

It sounds like your problem is with the view. Have you looked at a preview of the view to see if it works? If you just select Normal on the taxonomy_menu settings page (instead of selecting a view) then it will display the default taxonomy view, which will work the way you require. Or you can just revert the patched file. ;)

I found the above patch would no longer apply, so I applied it by hand and tested it. I found an additional problem that there were inconsistencies in the name of the variable used to store the view name, in some places it was called 'taxonomy_menu_show_view_' and in others 'taxonomy_menu_show_views_', so I standardized all references to use the second one. With that change, it works fine with the taxonomy_term view that comes by default with Views. You need to enable that view for this to work, or you can create a different view (probably by cloning that one).

So here is an updated patch.

I meant to say you don't have to enable that view for this to work, but you need some working taxonomy view that you can select.

Could someone explain in a bit more detail how you set the view up? Do you use arguments? Term ID or term name?

Thanks!

karens’s picture

Use the taxonomy_term view that comes by default with Views. You don't need to do anything but enable it. It already has the right arguments and you can change the display from 'teasers' to a list or a table or whatever you like.
