Taxonomy terms with title linking to an external link rather than an interal link?

Posted by kbk on December 17, 2009 at 2:52pm

I would like to create a taxonomy where the title of the term contains a link to an external (rather than internal) webpage. I found a workaround for doing this with CCK and CCK Redirection may offer a better solution but it seems using Taxonomy could allow a more efficient solution because I only want a title and link. Has anyone done this?

Example taxonomy

Vocabulary: Habitat Types

Term = Northern Forest
Desired Link = Northern Forest

Term = Coastal Plain Marsh
Desire Link = Coastal Plain Marsh

Thanks for the tip.

The Link module is close but it does not allow you to pre-specify links. If you could build a select list by populating an allowed value list, it would suit my purposes.
