Description
Hello.
I have a view that outputs a list of nodes and each node may have more than one taxonomy term, even from different vocabularies - how can I output all of these, or select from which vocabulary I want the images to be displayed?
Thanks.

Hello,
Same need here (with the same version, 6x-1.6). I'd like to use Taxonomy image as a way to display various little black and white logos (a taxonomy image previously associated to a term) near a photo and some text in a view. But I can only display one logo or twice the same one (please see screenshot) while adding another "Taxonomy: Term Image" field. The tid seems to call always the same term, but obviously, I would like to show different thumbnails (from different vocabularies or from a single "thumbnails" vocabulary if the former is impossible) in a single "teaser".
This may comes from the Views module above all, but we were asked to ask you first, so...

Anyone?

ErwanF, I ended up adding a function to template.php to (sort of) achieve what I wanted.
The function takes the output of the "Taxonomy: all terms" views field, which is basically an HTML list of links to each taxonomy term. I break them apart and replace the linked text with the desired image.
Far from perfect, since this should belong in the module itself, but at least it works.
Note: "Tamarind" is the name of the theme I'm working with.
function tamarind_tax_image($subject) {
$links = explode(', ', $subject);
$pattern = '/taxonomy\/term\/(\d)/';
$result = array();
foreach($links as $link) {
preg_match($pattern, $link, $matches);
$image = taxonomy_image_get_object($matches[1]);
if ($image) {
$result[] = l($image->img, $image->term, array('html' => true));
}
}
return $result;
}

Thanks a lot for the "tip", borfast, I'll try that.

Please could you explain? How do replace the term name by its image? At the time of writing, I can only display the terme name...

I didn't manage to make this working. So sad...

ErwanF, sorry, I had not yet seen your request for an explanation.
When I say
I mean that I have a "All terms" field, which prints something like
<a href="taxonomy/term/5">Books</a>, <a href="taxonomy/term/6">Cars<a>, <a href="taxonomy/term/7">Houses</a>and I break it apart on the commas, which yields an array of individual links, which I then treat as necessary.The commas are separating the links because that's how I configured the field.

I developed a patch for this module, which is atached to this comment. It allows to display all term images for a given node as a single view field without generating duplicate rows. They are especially frustrating if you use multi-choice vocabularies to tag articles on your site, like me. Tested with drupal-6.14 and taxonomy_image-6.x-1.6.
After applying the patch flush caches so that views will use new field definitions and restart Apache to purge PHP optimizer caches.
Edit your view and add a new field. Choose "Taxonomy: All term images" as a field type. Here you have an option to limit search for images in a given set of vocabularies, similar to the "Taxonomy: All terms" field, and additionally you can choose to display only one image, if more than one are available.
Internally, this field creates two fictious query fields, "all_tid" and "all_tid_all_tids". The latter is an array of image ids and is used internally to render multiple images. The former is the master field and it contains only a single term id for an image. I needed it for compatibility with the "timeline" module, which cannot work with multiple images.
All the best.

Thank you vidkinet for your patch, it is working well. I built it as a module that adds a field All terms image in the views field.
Enjoy
