Hello folks,

I hope this is not duplicate. But I could not find any relevant information.

Is there any way I can filter the taxonomy menu by content type? I have setup a Category Vocab and 2 content types, articles and galleries and they both use the Category Vocab for categorization (with Content Taxonomy for CCK). Basically, I want to be able to filter by category, displaying all galleries and articles which fall under the particular category. Plus I want to be able to have menu of categories which displays only articles, respectively only galleries of the specified categories.

The scenario would be: On the Homepage I would have a menu for categories. Clicking a category would display me all entries (galleries AND articles) for the category in question. However, on a separate page (realized with views) I would have the category menu to display only articles of a certain category. Likewise this behavior should occur on the gallery overview page.

I fear that it might be logical problem on my hand. It would be possible with views obviously, but how would I create an automated menu for that?

Any advice is greatly appreciated.

This is not currently possible.

You could your own modules using the taxonomy menu api (http://drupal.org/node/380652).

I think the concept of "menu groups" which allows you to create more than one menu for a vocabulary, each pointing to a different view, is exactly what is needed to solve this feature request.

Menu groups is being worked on right now in the 6.x-3.0 version (and is, imo, the single most important feature for the 3.0 release!).
