Hi,

I have been searching, and trying for a very long time to find a solution to my problem.

I have built a site where users log on and upload a video. On the video upload page I want users to be able to add Actors names, Crew names etc. much like IMDB.

And when you click on that actor or crew member it goes to a view or page where it shows all the videos and roles the person has done.

I tried using Taxonomy Terms but I couldn't figure out a way to get 1 term associated to 2 vocabularies - i.e an Actor (Steve) is also a crew member. If I have a vocab for crew and one for cast and add his name to each it creates 2 separate terms with the same name. Which doesn't store all the persons details on the same view.

What would be a way to do it? Would the Category module work - create nodes for each person? I like taxonomy as it is light and fast.

Any thoughts?

Cheers - Logan

Managed to sort it out!

Built a view with 3 other views embedded in the header. Each view handles the arguments differently.

I set the terms to be read as names and not ID's - i.e term/34 is now term/James Maher

Therefore 2 term listed in different vocabularies but with same name i.e Actor/term/James Maher (34) & Cast/term/James Maher (35) - can now be seen as 1 term on a views page.

The site is here http://www.gorilla-tv.com

Hope that helps anyone else who is looking to do something similar.
