Taxonomy

I am not supporting this module. I no longer have a need for it, and it has bugs with installation that I do not have time to fix. I don't know if it is even needed by anybody. Please contact me if you want to take it over, or can assist in deleting it.

This module changes the Taxonomy Fields for Views so that they can be sorted by term weight.

This is useful because the Taxonomy Term fields that come with Views don't allow you to sort by the column containing the taxonomy term. And that's just no fun.

This module also reduces the number of extra queries for taxonomy terms as fields from t * r (where t = the number of term fields and r = the number of rows) to 1.

This module has been superseded by Entityqueue which allows creation of queues from nodes, taxonomy terms, users and other entities. Entityqueue currently has an alpha release for Drupal 8 and a stable 1.1 release for Drupal 7, so it's recommend you use that module over this one.

Taxidermy puts a modern face on Drupal's taxonomy.module.

The goals of Taxidermy are simply to implement the improvements suggested for Taxonomy.module in D7 so that modules which implement the proposed hook_taxonomy_term_load, hook_taxonomy_term_insert, hook_taxonomy_term_update, and hook_taxonomy_term_delete can work on Drupal 6 and earlier. See the core issue to add proper taxonomy term hooks for more information about the goals of this module.

Active Tags adds a new option to free tagging taxonomies. If selected the taxonomy widget is replaced by a new jQuery enabled tag entry widget.

Works with core Taxonomy module and Content Taxonomy module.

This module came about through work on a site where some users found separating tags with commas confusing. Some users got it, and some didn't. This resulted in a site littered with concatenated tags. Wordpress has a similar tag entry mechanism where tags are entered separately. It has been implemented here using jQuery to rewrite the standard taxonomy entry form.

Using the Views module, you can create views that have filters of the form "Taxonomy: Term Name for [vocabulary-name]". However, for Arguments, you only have one choice: "Taxonomy: Term Name", which filters for all vocabularies.

This module lets you have Arguments of the form "Taxonomy: Term Name for [vocabulary-name]" as well.

Allows client-side scaling and rotating of images, and fast upload directly to drupal image galleries.

This differs from other image uploading modules in the following way:
1. Scales images on the local machine, so images are scaled before they are transmitted to the server.
2. Upload images in bulk without using FTP etc.
3. Imports images directly into an image gallery.

Note that this module uses a digitally signed java applet. Java source is included but not required to use the module.

Vocabulary per-book allows a unique Taxonomy vocabulary to be uniquely assigned to a book. Terms from this vocabulary are prevented from being assigned to nodes that are not part of the parent book. Provides tokens for use in Pathauto path aliases.

Requires Book Bridge.

Users cannot be trusted to categorise things themselves, and it's too much work for administrators.

If you switch on autocategorise for a vocabulary it will hide the taxonomy widget and categorise nodes/entities on submission by matching the text against the vocabulary's own terms and synonyms. Synonyms will typically be word stems or regular expressions.
This approach to autocat is nice and simple, but synonyms must be chosen carefully, and admin needs to regularly review the content and improve the synonyms. This approach may work better in some languages than others.

What are Topic Hubs?

Harnessing the power of Calais tagging, administrators can create Topic Hubs based on site’s most popular tags. Topic hubs are highly configurable and contain a series of pluggable content modules, like “Most Read” content for this topic, “Most Commented” stories, most active contributors, and links to other related topics. To top it off, integration with Calais Geo allows for plotting all of your content for a Topic Hub content on a map.

OG Taxonomy is essentially an extension of views that allows filtering of a view by a node's group's taxonomy terms (as opposed to the node's taxonomy terms). You can do this using filters or arguments.

NOTE: This module will not be ported to Drupal 6 because this functionality is already available. See this comment for details.
