Both of these projects are very similar, and could benefit much from merging.

It would be good if the developers could get together and see if the aims and designs of the modules are compatible enough so that they could be merged.

#575422: Merge with Term Display? is a dupe of this from the other end.

Thanks for raising this, agreed, they should be the same module.

I suppose the term_display namespace might make more sense since the aim is not only hiding.

As for which code to start with, I'm easy. I guess we shd evaluate the relative functionality and work from there.

naught101, would you be willing to do up a chart comparing functionality?

brmassa, I've assigned you CVS access to term_display as a first step.

I haven't used either yet, so I'm probably not the best person to do a comparison, but if I get time I will.

One thing to note, just from reading the front pages, is that both modules actually control the display of whole vocabularies, not terms, right?

Term_display appears to have far more functionality, and the initial reason I didn't just use it instead of Taxonomy_hide is that the Taxo_hide module is actually bigger, and I thought it might have some features that term_display is missing. Then again, it could just be the coding style...

+1 for the merge, +1 for the t_d namespace

Worth noting of course that one of these modules refers to "taxonomy" as a whole (per vocab) and the other to "term". Are we going to have a set of options for each vocab, with a subset of options within that to control the node-based display of the terms? Sounds like a plan.

So as far as I can work out, there aren't any overlapping features in these two modules.

Taxonomy_hide's main features are:

  • Hide terms from an entire vocabulary
  • Group terms by vocabulary (I assume this includes having a parent container that can be styled?
  • Choose whether to group terms by vocab per content type.
  • Sort vocab groups by vocab weight, and terms within groups alphabetically (ie. default)

I think the most sensible name for a merged module would really be Taxonomy_Display, but Term_Display is not problematic.
