Issue Summary

Hello
this module would save my site alot of configuring. Unfortunately, I need the menu items to not be in the global nav menu system. Preferrably configurable to another menu system per taxonomy vocabulary.

The second problem is that each menu item page is showing teasers of each node. A big part of the usage of this module for a site im designing is for quick forum jumping. Teasers would be way too bulky for the pages. It would be very useful to be able to configure per taxonomy vocabulary, the display format that is used. Such as default forum style, teasers, purly listing, etc. This could also be accomplished through having the menu items for forums, link to the forum terms that are generated through the taxonomy terms for that forum.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Another good option would be the choice of selecting which (or all) taxonomy vocabularies/terms are put into the menus. It would default to all and then the admin can go in and check off which ones he doesnt want as menus.
In my case, I wouldnt want image galleries to neccessarily be menu links.

Thanks

you can move around items and even move trees into new menus using the menus module. make sure it is active ion your install and that you have permissions.

I have been looking at the same thing with my site, regarding the page display. The menu is fine but the page looks too busy with the teaser. I would like to change it to just a list of node titles that are links, but haven't figured out how to. I believe the key is in this code:

function taxonomy_render_nodes($result) {
  if (db_num_rows($result) > 0) {
    while ($node = db_fetch_object($result)) {
      $output .= node_view(node_load($node->nid), 1);
    }
    $output .= theme('pager', NULL, variable_get('default_nodes_main', 10), 0);
  }
  else {
    $output .= '<p>'. t('There are currently no posts in this category.') .'</p>';
  }
  return $output;

If I figure it out I will post back!
