Problem with tags

First of all, thanks for your very helpful videos...helpful isnt the word more like necessary for me and the high rez is great for following along without squinting and worth every penny. I am viewing your taxonomy video today and went to theme- node settings and found there wasnt a taxonomy node??? Went to taxonomy module report and it was enabled (per your previous instruction) and saw a message next to it (Required by: Forum disabled). I am working on a different theme than your lessons (Marinelli) and have looked in at Drupal.org theme, but didnt see anything that addressed this issue. Any advice or direction in what could be the problem.

Taxonomy Nodes

Thanks for your kind words. I'm a little bit confused so I think it might help if you can refer to the time in the video where I'm working on the thing that you're not seeing. There are no "taxonomy nodes" in Drupal. There are vocabularies which you can create at /admin/content/taxonomy. Those vocabularies can then contain lists of terms that are associated with nodes.

So taxonomy vocabularies are associated with nodes, but their merely pointers to content on the site. Each vocabulary has it's own settings that determine which content types the vocabulary is associated with. So I can create a vocabulary called "Blog Tags" and then edit the settings of Blog Tags to select the content type of "Blog" for example. In that case when I create new Blog content it will add a field to the submission form that will allow me to enter a term or select a term from a list that will categorize that post.

Category label in URL

Hello Rob, thanks for the awesome vids. I'm working on a site and I was wondering if there was any way to remove the category term from the URL that results from adding a keyword to a few posts. So for example: instead of www.example.com/category/vocabulary/term it would be www.example.com/vocabulary/term or just www.example.com/term.

Just wondering if there was an easy way to do that. Thanks again for the vids, they are fantastic.

Pathauto For Category URLs

You use the pathauto module you can customize the output of urls for categories in a variety of ways. See http://drupal.org/project/pathauto on drupal.org.

Re: Taxonomy Overview

Hello,

First thanks for sharing your knowledge,

I am now working with taxonomy whit 2 categories and several terms that seems to work well.

But when I go to the url of title I get this in the url %5Bcatpath-raw%5D,
I have made a url path alias of the node and taxonomy..

[vocab-raw]/[catpath-raw]:
I get this error You are using the token [catpath-raw] which is not valid within the scope of tokens where you are using it.

The I use [vocab-raw]/[catpath]:
You are using the token [catpath] which is not valid within the scope of tokens where you are using it.

[vocab]
This will be replaced with the name of your vocabulary— in this case news.
[catpath]
This will be replaced with the category and all of the parent categories. For example, a post in Local—>Weather will have a catpath of local/weather.

So how can I work this around? I am working whit the latest version of drupal and latest modules.

Taxonomy Tokens

If you go to /admin/build/path/pathauto and look at the "Replacement Patterns" within the "Taxonomy Term Path Settings" section you will see the tokens that you can use to create a friendly url. If the patterns listed there don't work for you then I'm not sure what the problem is at this time.
