I'm sure this must have been covered as this is such an obvious problem... but damned if I can find it as an issue

The root menu item has weird URL, in my case "/taxonomy/term/12 10 13 14 8 3 4 5 1 2 7 9 15 11 6" - I presume that this is the taxonomy term numbers.

How do I change this?

For this to work, one has to enable the "Taxonomy Menu Custom Path" from the module page. But the problem is that

1. in "Base Path for Custom Path:" it adds a trailing slash after the path i provide. for example, i added "image" and and custom path makes it "image/". so to work this out, i have to create an alias from "image/" to "image"

2. another problem is that it is only allowing content type name in custom path otherwise menu would not show up. for example machine readable content type name for image gallery (created with image.module) is image. So to have custom path for image gallery I had to use "image" instead of just "gallery", even though alias was created from "image" to "gallery".

Taxonomy Module was designed to work with no extra modules. Having the default URL path the way it is is the only way to get it to work with the default taxonomy module's page callback. This is why an API was introduced (http://drupal.org/node/380652). So you can format the URL how every you want.

There have been many issues logged with the same questions. Including #418994: taxonomy/term/tid tid tid tid.

I understand the situation isn't ideal but there are work arounds. There is a patch here that needs to be tested before it can be released. #477526: Add ability to output Term Name in Custom Path menus

There are also some examples in readme.txt http://cvs.drupal.org/viewvc.py/drupal/contributions/modules/taxonomy_me...

The plans for V3 of taxonomy menu (#432048: Functions and User Interface for Version 3.0 ) are planning on address many of your concerns. (Yes, I'm STILL working on it. I had a baby which put me behind a few months).

Cheers,
Neil

OK, the same thing just happened to me, and I don't see an answer, so try this:

Create your top Gallery menu item manually at /admin/build/menu or put it in your Gallery page display at /admin/build/views/edit/image_gallery.

Then go to ' Edit vocabulary' for Image Galleries at /admin/content/taxonomy. For taxonomy Menu location select 'Image Galleries', Path type 'Default', then under Options deselect (uncheck) 'Add item for vocabulary'.

That's it! Seems to be working for me.

Setting to Active since "needs review" is for reviewing patches.
