Hi all,
First I want to say the the work here is fantastic. As a complete newb to both web development and drupal the community work done here is fantastic. As I said I'm as green as a spring carrot and am learning as I go along. At the moment I'm sinking and really need some help. From everything I've read my understanding is that the taxonomy menu can have a custom view to display the data. What I don't understand is how to combine or enable the two to work together. After spending two hours reading through the issues and the two pages of documentation that i found I'm at a loss. Does anyone have a link or dumbed down explanation of how to do this? I've attatched screen shots of my view that I'm trying to build and the taxonomy menu settings in taxonomy.

System Info
Taxonomy Menu 6.x-2.3
Drupal 6

Hi,
the path you use within VIEWS is "he/bikeparts"
For this path you need to have the following selections within TAXONOMY MENU:

Menu Path Type: Custom
Base Path for Custom Path: he/bikeparts
Leave "Display Depth in Costom Path" empty.

All other options as you like.
For more information read the README.txt in the TM module folder.

Good luck - should work!

I am trying to accomplish the same thing and followed the advice above. Everything seemed to be going so well, but when I made my final modifications, my entire menu disappeared. My menu works fine when the Menu Path Type is set to Default. But when I set it to Custom Path, the whole thing disappears.

Here are screenshots of both the Taxonomy Menu and the View:

Hi TT,
remove the "/" from your custom path - just "paintings".
And rebuilt the menu.

Thanks Klaus!

I wish I would have posted sooner. Drupal people are the best.

When defining a custom path for use with a View, don't make my mistake and include the "/%" (for the taxonomy term) in the "Base Path for Custom Path" definition.

Thanks for this thread.

Hello-

I followed the suggestions from this thread, but I still seem to be missing something. My taxonomy menu also works fine when the Menu Path Type is set to Default, but it disappears when I set it to Custom Path. Any other advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. :-)

Thanks in advance.

I have the same issue/setup as #9, can someone tell us what we're doing wrong? I've been trying and searching for days :(
Default works fine, but when I choose custom the menu item totally disappears.

@drupalogy try removing the '/%' at the end of the view. If that doesn't work please open a new issue as this on is old ;)

Cheers
