Drupal modules: Content Taxonomy (Short Description)
This article contains a short description of Content Taxonomy. We will use it in the next article.
This module provides a CCK field type for referencing taxonomy terms.
The fields are independent from vocabulary settings. For every field you can specify following settings:
- widget type (see list below)
- general CCK settings (label, description, fieldgroup, weight, single/multiple, required, …)
- the vocabulary to use
- further settings for hierarchical vocabularies, like the depth of the tree or a parent term for sub-trees
- storage settings: storage is done in the CCK tables. But for many modules it’s necessary, that the saved values are also available to the core Taxonomy system. In this case it’s possible to save values additionally to the core taxonomy database table. (Drupal 6)
- widget-specific settings
Content Taxonomy is going to hide all form fields from the core Taxonomy module from vocabularies, which are handled by a Content Taxonomy field (since Beta 6)
