Why is there no field Taxonomy: tid ?

this is a hidden feature of views :)

here is the field taxonomy: term

see the screenshot for help, there is a rewrite output token [tid]

so this is fixed

It's probably not actually completely fixed. Given the new rewriting functionality, we probably now have a real need to get true access to the TID.

Subscribe.
Would be useful to have the tid for advanced themeing.

Eg - Output Tid as a field [restricted by vocabulary if necessary].
Exclude from Display.
Now re-use in a template file as a class to theme the row.

It can be done by loading the full node in the temapate file, but that isn't ideal.

This worked for me:
http://drupal.org/node/381346

Our need was to get the term ID when limiting results to a specific vocabulary... which requires the "All terms" option.

There was no 'filter terms by vocabulary, provide term id' option -- when using taxonomy all terms, the only thing providing the filter by vocabulary option, it ONLY provides the term name (as link or plain).

This patch provides a third option, for TID. It attempts to keep the original variable profile (TRUE and FALSE) for linked term and plaintext term, so that it does not affect existing sites.

If it's possible to get this data without a patch, fantastic; or if this patch should be taking a very different approach, please put me in the right direction, but if this can just make life a little easier in the waning days of 2.x, I would hugely appreciate a commit.

there is no == TRUE needed, but sure thats minor.
As far as i understand it, it shouldn't brake any existing taxonomy tid field, or?

I'm on crack. Are you, too?

For squarecandy's purpose, maybe you could use "Taxonomy Redirect" module to accomplish your task. This module can rewrite typical "taxonomy/term/TERMID" path to new mapped path you want.

Still using this on production and all's well, as long as the patch is in effect. Also a person at the DrupalCon Taxonomy session had this exact same problem, no term IDs available as fields. If only all questions directed my way were answered by patches written a week prior...

This works and is needed, still happy to change the implementation if there's a better way. Anyone able to test if this applies as-is to Views HEAD? It probably does but i will check or re-roll before setting this to RTBC.

Subscribing. Currently looking for a way to exclude term ID from URL, just like the node. Thanks

Update: Marking this related => http://drupal.org/node/576032 :)

Just tested the patch and it certainly solved my problem.

Is there any reason that TID is listed as an option on "Taxonomy: All terms". It took me a while to find it as I was expecting it to be listed as a separate field called "Taxonomy: TID".

The reason I thought this is it seems very similar to "Node: Nid" and "Node: Title".

Patch from poster #9, updated to work with 6.x-2.7

This code doesn't respect the http://drupal.org/coding-standards

Works OK for a single term assignment.

Assigning two or more terms, makes the [tid] field (of "all terms") display all terms taxonomy IDs.
This is fine for display but when I want to output this field as a link, all assigned term IDs are ONE link, and the address of the link contains all terms IDs separated by the separator.
This generate an SQL syntax error...

Is there a solution for this, as I use more than one term.

Many thanks.

Hi,

I rely on views customfield to do some php with my views fields.

I usually make use of the following code to display the available variables of my view :

<?php
print var_export($data, TRUE);
?>

It appears taxonomy all terms has no available array in $data ; why is that so and how and where can I get this variable ?

I found this related issue but that doesn't give me much hope to find out a solution.

No work done on patch in more than 3 months

Still actual for views 6.x-3.0-alpha3.

@petu

As long you don't want to continue the patch work this patch remains on won't fix.
