An extension of the Core Taxonomy.module page display functionality has been released on the Ixis IT website.

The taxonomy_vocabulary module gives site administrators an additional way to display all terms from a vocabulary without having to manually build up ?q=taxonomy/term/id urls.

If you are displaying all types of news on a single taxonomy page you'll have made a url alias to taxonomy/term/1+2+3+4 etc. to display all the vocabulary terms.

To avoid this you can now use ?q=taxonomy/vocabulary/id to list all terms belonging to the vocabulary id you supply in the url. You wont need to keep updating your URL either when new terms are introduced.

Collect it and give it a go from the Drupal Modules page.

Obviously a noob here: I've got this installed correctly and now I'd like to "use ?q=taxonomy/vocabulary/id to list all terms belonging to the vocabulary id you supply in the url. You wont need to keep updating your URL either when new terms are introduced."

Is that what I do to use the functionality of this mod--type in the url as described as a menu link? Or is there some kind of admin interface? I'm a little confused.

Thanks...

best way to learn is try it out and see. but yes, use the new Drupal path - combined with your selected vocabulary id - and use it as a primary link, or as a path for a new menu item via the menu.module

In one shot, you have provided a solution to what I and dozens of other drupal users have been desperately waiting for. And, it works great!

This announcement should really be on the front page. And, I hope Jeremy Epstein notices this too.

Just a few suggestions about the readme.txt:

1.) Distinguish between the system url that needs to be entered to create the alias when the site is using clean urls and when it isn't
2.) You should replace 'category' with 'vocabulary' in the line, "To avoid this you can now use ?q=taxonomy/vocabulary/ to list all terms belonging to the category id you supply in the url"
3.) Add a note to the effect that in the system url, the vocabulary id *need not* be entered within angled brackets for this module to work. This can confuse newbies.

Who is 'Jeremy Epstein' ?

I should have explained. He has been doing some stuff with taxonomy (www.greenash.net.au) and has proposed the category module.

Thanks for updating the readme.txt

Update for 4.7? Or is this superceded by the category and views modules? Thanks for any update!

No update needed. Taxonomy Vocabulary works with 4.7.

bomarmonk, if you are considering a fresh start for your exisitng sites or creating new ones, try out the category module. You can forget all about these problems of a listing page for the vocabs etc. Both containers (category's equivalent of vocab) and categories (cat's equiv of taxo terms) are actual Drupal nodes, not mere listing pages.

I am considering upgrading to Category... I've been playing around with it and it's very cool. Thanks for the tip.

I need this for 4.7, but the link shows "Page not found"
Can anyone attach it or something ?

That site has had a design overhaul (and probably an upgrade) in recent times during which the page seems to have gone missing. Try emailing the author directly.
