Hi There,

Just getting my head round Drupal and am really enjoying the learning experience. I cant work out if (or how) it is possible to have an icon for each taxonomy node type on the homepage? So for example I have a simple 1 level deep taxonomy which I categorise the front page stories with. What would be the best way of adding an image to each node type on the homepage (in the same way slashdot do)?

Thanks,
Ben

I think the polder theme allows you to do this. I could be wrong.

I have written a taxonomy image module for Drupal 4.4.x that provides this exact functionality.

Just my opinion, but I think this should be in the Core.
Like the taxo and term description it could be optional.

I'd like to see the taxonomy pages use images and description, as well... I know that there is a module that does that, but again, it should be in the core (as an optional setting).

I concur, both wrt to this module and displaying term descriptions. The taxonomy_image module is a minor (size-wise) orthongonal addition to core, and it is risk-free primarily due to its simplicity. Its inclusion would allow themes to define the look and feel of associated images, encouraging other users to develop/choose other node->image modules without having to modify theme php files.
