Bean Tax

Overview

Bean Tax (short for Bean Taxonomy) is a small library of bean plugins that use Drupal's taxonomy system.

Taxonomy Related Block

• Outputs entities that are taxonomy term related to the current page or logged-in user.
• Filter by entity bundle and taxonomy vocabularies.
• Results are sorted by relatedness (number of matching taxonomy terms).
• Select which view mode to use for results display.
• Define a set number of results shown (defaults to 5).
• Set an offset to skip results shown (defaults to 0).
• Optionally hide block if there are no results.
• Optionally append unrelated entities to the list.
• Customizable "More link" can be appended to the bottom of the block.

7.x-1.x vs 7.x-2.x

New projects should use the 2.x branch as it supports all entity types. The 1.x branch works only with nodes. The 2.x branch contains major changes for TaxRelatedBean and TaxListingBean classes and there is no way to upgrade existing 1.x beans to 2.x.

Warning: Updating from 1.x to 2.x requires rebuilding all Bean Tax block configurations!
