One thing I have been looking to do for a large animal diversity site is to find a way to have the breadcrumb trail be styled contextually in a separate block, For instance a cascading menu with term description text.
example
>> term one
- >> term two
- >> term three
It would also be very nice if a breadcrumb style could be outputted as a regular block like taxonomy context blocks do now, this way on large vocabulary’s it would not be necessary to have extremely long menus to describe family relationships.
Example of long terms list …
• Kingdom: Monera
• Kingdom: Mycetae
• Kingdom: Plantae
• Kingdom: Animalia
-
• Invertebrates
-
• Phylum: Annelida
-
• Phylum: Arthropoda
o sub-phylum: Chelicerata
-
o sub-phylum: Uniramia
-
Class: Chilopoda
Class: Collembola
Class: Diplura
Class: Insecta
-
sub-class: Pterygota
intead what I would realy like is a cacading breadcrumb style,
Example …
Kingdom: Animalia
- » Phylum: Arthropoda
- » sub-phylum: Uniramia
- » Class: Insecta
- » sub-class: Pterygota
than on menu mouse over display a description from the term description, like the site menu module does.
Will this kind of thing be possible with taxonomy context for Drupal 5.0?.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for this grate module, its one of my favorites

I was just thinking of a simpler approach, just in case this idea gets considered.
Add options in taxonomy context blocks configuration settings, maybe something like this..
Option one: Display All vocabulary- terms ( Default )
Option two: Display only parent terms
Option three: Display only child terms?
Maybe even an option setting for including or excluding node menu items per block, but that’s another feature request.

Interesting suggestion but perhaps a relatively rare need.
I suspect you can get part of what you're looking for by theming of the breadcrumb (overriding the standard
theme_breadcrumb()function and substituting one that outputs the breadcrumbs as you want them.I don't see finding time to work on this. If you want to submit a patch, though, please feel free.

Reopen this with a current release if it is still valid.
