Just saw the following on http://category.greenash.net.au/installation

Additionally, using the taxonomy wrapper with existing taxonomy data is not recommended - either import your existing taxonomy data first, disable the taxonomy wrapper, or delete your site's taxonomy data.

I am slightly confused about et what is meant by "...using the taxonomy wrapper with existing taxonomy data is not recommended". I use the simplenews and image_gallery (contrib of image module) modules, so I installed taxonomy wrapper and it works fine. I also used category_legacy to import taxonomy data from an old site.

Now, should I:
1.) Turn off category_legacy once the import is complete?
2.) Also turn off taxonomy wrapper?

If I turn off taxonomy wrapper, will the simplenews and image_gallery modules work?

@Ramdak:

What I meant by this, is that if you have taxonomy data that was created by the original taxonomy module, and that has NOT been imported with category_legacy and/or (re)created with the taxonomy wrapper, then you should NOT enable the taxonomy wrapper. In order words...

Bad:
1. Create terms and vocabularies using taxonomy
2. Install category
3. Install taxonomy wrapper
4. Start creating categories and containers using category

Good:
1. Create terms and vocabularies using taxonomy
2. Install category
3. Install taxonomy wrapper
4. Install category_legacy
5. Import taxonomy data into category
6. Start creating categories and containers using category

Once you have the taxonomy wrapper and category_legacy enabled, you should leave both of them enabled permanently. The taxonomy wrapper will continue to keep your category data mirrored in the taxonomy system, and category_legacy will continue to map and redirect your old URLs to their new equivalents.

Sorry, Jaza. I saw just now that you answered the same query on the category web site.

I will search a little more before posting next time. Setting status to closed.
