Issue Summary
Taxonomy Token only provides "node" type tokens, i.e., tokens that expose taxonomy details related to a specific node.
Should it provide "taxonomy" type tokens also? Can someone interested explain exactly what each token would expose in a "taxonomy" context?
Comments
#1
It would be useful for me.
Uses I can think of:
1) Creating more useful page titles with the Taxonomy Token and Page Title modules. As a simple example, instead of having a page title like "Thailand, Hotels" I could setup a page title pattern that would read "Hotels in Thailand".
2) Creating more intuitive and SEO-friendly URLs. Following the example above, if "hotels" and "Thailand" were two terms in "category" and "location" vocabularies, a URL like .com/thailand/hotels could automatically be generated with Pathauto.
These are the reasons I tried out Taxonomy Token.
#2
I wonder how exactly these tokens would look like.
Would there be term1, term2, term3 tokens and so on?
#3
Yes, from a usability perspective, I suppose the token used could be like [vocab:1:term] and that would display a term from vocabulary 1.
#4
I don't believe this would work. Which term in the term chain would be presented with [vocab:1:term]? The first? The last? The second?
I believe it would be necessary to create something like [vocab:1:term:1], [vocab:1:term:2] to present the top most term of vocabulary 1 and the second top most term of vocabulary 1 respectively.
The problem with such an approach is that for different taxonomy depths there would be different tokens available.
Ideas?
#5
Maybe just show the top term in the vocabulary. It's simpler but still pretty great.
#6
Well, maybe there could be [vocab:1:term] and [vocab:1:bottomterm] in taxonomy context, like in node context. The first would return the top term and the second would return the bottom term. What you think?
Is there already a token that provides each vocabulary name in taxonomy context?
#7
Works for me.
I'm not aware of tokens that provide vocabulary names.
