Hey guys,
can anyone offer some taxonomy expertise?
The situation is as follows. My website is being setup and I have set a category(taxonomy) which will be constant so I don't want the site
editor(s) to be able to delete this category - lets call it "Favorite Activities".
I do however want to allow them to add items(groups) to the taxonomy so they can associate the content they create(pages) to whatever group they have created beneth the "Favorite Activities".
So an example will be creating an item called "fishing", another called "reading" and yet another called "Watching Movies". All of these items will sit under the "Favorite Activities" category which I don't want the editor to be able to delete.
I want the flexibility for them to add to or remove from "Favorite Activities".
They can then create nodes whose content is on the e.g a movie and place it under the "watching movies" item of the taxonomy.
My editors are obviously on limited permission and I don't want to give them access to the taxonomy module to accomplish all I described above.
Does anyone have any ideas how I can accomplish this feat ???
Thanks for your time and help.

What about the http://drupal.org/project/taxonomy_delegate module?

I used taxonomy_delegate over
I used taxonomy_delegate over the weekend and unless I'm missing something it doesn't do the job I need.
To begin with you still need to switch on the taxonomy module for it to work( which is precisely what I don't want ).

You can't use taxonomy, unless the taxonomy module is enabled. If you truly don't want to use the taxonomy module, you can simply use cck select lists-- which can then be selectively made available via the content permissions module (part of the base cck package). However, obviously, lose the features provided by the taxonomy module and will have to recreate them on your own.
