Is there a link for intersection of taxonomies?

By asiafan on 26 Jun 2006 at 08:29 UTC

Is there a link that points to multiple taxonomies on same level?
I have tax. terms like japanese, korean, pop, rock.. and they are in the same hierarchy level cos i want to mix them to have a page of "everything pop" and "every korean" etc. but i'd like to make an alias to "japanese + pop".. is it possible, or I have to put pop under japanese for this? or should I set the container "music" from single hierarchy to multiple?? and whatever i have to do, then how will the link to "japanese" AND "pop" look like? Thanks.

i saw in the module page an example like taxonomy/2+3 but that's means "OR"

another link question (sorry i couldnt find the answer myself): how can i list only story content type? i tried mysite.com/story but it doesnt work. thanks.

You will want to look at containers

Look at a container for Music and then define all the others as categories under that container. You can then use the Views module to get all your special views (pop + korean; or all stories), etc.

one more question, sorry

how I could link a vocabulary?

Views will do that, too.

Views will do that, too. In fact, even easier because everthing will be in the one container.

For a great read on containers and categories, see: http://category.greenash.net.au/

thanks but i dont want to

thanks but i dont want to install one more module if its not a must, im afraid it hurts my page having already a dozen of modules more..
and especially i dont want to install the category modul which messed up my whole site so much that i needed to drop all db.

i figured out that linking multiple categories can be done with commas

so Japanese or Pop is /taxonomy/japanese+pop
and Japanese AND Pop is /taxonomy/japanese,pop

i still would like to find an easier solution to link a vocabulary or a content type if possible

Setup a test site

Categories should not destroy your site. An additional module should not be a problem. 10 is a small number. Set up a test site and experiment until you are comfortable. Then implement on your primary site. Categories is the way to go.

i'm fine with taxonomies..

i'm fine with taxonomies.. i'll maybe check that views module.. categories I can link now as i wrote above, thats enough to make menu items and so.
i find it strange if theres no url for vocabularies but thats fine. it's also strange that some conent types have their own link, like mysite/forum, mysite/review (if i use that), but there is no mysite/story just "node" which is everything.
