Hi,

We just changed the snippets http://drupal.org/node/39282, but we need a little more.
Since they are handbook pages, one cannot track them by mail subscriptions, or in issues, or even by RSS. But tracking is quite important, to see to it that no-one adds a snippet that does horrible things. But also, it can be very handy for users to track, for examlpe all 4.7 + snippet entries to see if interesting 4.7 snippets were added.

In order to track the snippets in one's RSS reader we need an additional term, or more terms.

I am not sure about the taxonomy for books, we have now, but i want one term: "PHP snippet"

Thanks for putting together the snippets handbook page.. it's easier to navigate now but I think the handbook pages are the wrong place to be storing them

I suggested using a more knowledge-based style snippets respository a while back..using a flexinode defined content type..especially for the theme snippets where a preview/screenshot or iframe based demo is simple to submit and unobtrusive.

Proposed new Theming contributions library based on Snippets rather than "full" themes....

In terms of taxonomy terms..i think a parent of "SNIPPETS" along the lines of the following might be more appropriate:

DRUPAL SNIPPETS
------------------
- css snippets
- php page snippets
- block snippets
- theme snippets
-- phptemplate snippets
-- user profile snippets (A few already exist)
-- node-blog.tpl.php snippets
-- node-gallery.tpl.php snippets
-- node-whatever.tpl.php snippets

Not sure if that helps or hinders..but, I thought I'd mention it.

The only taxonomy we currently have applied to taxonomy pages is "Drupal version," and that taxonomy is also applied to forums, polls, and images.

It sounds like you are suggesting a new taxonomy. Shouldn't this perhaps be part of a larger solution for a taxonomy for all handbook pages, a way to tag any handbook page content (not just snippets)?

I feared there would not be a taxonomy for the handbooks. Ill mail the list about this.

It's definitely a good idea. Plenty people have expressed interest in having a taxonomy to tag handbook pages.

The situation is still the same today: the only vocabulary for handbooks is Drupal version.

Either this is really needed, and it can be fixed now.
Or we can set this issue as won't fix

Status: Active » Closed (won't fix)

there is a redesign discussion that this could go into so setting this to won't fix at this point.

A link to the said redesign discussion would be helpful...
