Taxonomy function to filter $tree by parent and depth

Posted by robertDouglass on November 11, 2005 at 4:18pm

Issue Summary

Sometimes you have a taxonomy tree and you'd like to get all of the terms at a certain depth, or all the terms at a certain depth belonging to a certain parent. These are a set of filter functions to do that. (it's not a patch since these functions just need to be added to taxonomy.module, and I didn't know where in the module they would look the best)

One question I have about this code is whether the following function is necessary, or if there is a PHP native way to get rid of null array values?

<?php
/**
 * Utility function used by taxonomy_filter_tree
 */
function taxonomy_filter_not_null($term) {
  return !is_null($term);
}
?>

- Not critical.
- Who else wants this feature?
- Not a patchfile.
- That function can be abbreviated away with create_function.

Don't know how it got set critical... it most certainly isn't.

What do you mean abbreviated away?

I didn't submit a patch file since I wanted the maintainer to have the discretion of where to put the extra functions. At the end of the taxonomy.module file?
