Hi all,
I'm asking if it's possible to categorize a term with another term of another vocabulary. For example:
I have 2 vocabularies "numbers" and "months".
I wish to add to the term "nr. 1" the term "december", "nr. 2" the term "january", etc... in order to make work an exposed filter in a view. I've created a term view wich displays the vocabulary "numbers" and I added as exposed filters the vocabulary "months" but this doesn't work because of the uncommunication between the two vacabularies.
How i can do that?
Thank you for the eventual help :)

Taxonomy has support for synonyms built in. I would link your different terms in this way, and then through views, you can use synonyms. taxonomy.module does not currently support synonyms across multiple vocabularies.

So, in fact, what I wish is not possible currently?
I'll try to study the synonyms utility.
Thank you for the kindly help :)

Seems not to work in the way I wish:
I don't understand how to use synonyms. I've added "December" in the synonyms of the term "nr. 1" but when i use the exposed filter "months" and selecting "December", the filter search crashes as before. The view displays items of type Term. In particular, it displays the terms of the vocabulary "Numbers". I don't understand how to use synonyms to filter the terms of the vocabulary "Numbers" with the terms of the vocabulary "months".
Or:
It's possible another way to do that?

Thank you and sorry for my possible misunderstandings.

This sounds a lot like a Views question. Reassigning to Views queue (guessing the version)

Sorry, this isn't something Views does, I'm not really sure why this got moved to the Views queue.

I had a similar issue and solved it by using the module content taxonomy -- bringing one of the vocabularies into a data field where it can be easily called upon in views, leaving the original vocabulary to provide the term.
