New Hope to use Categories

| | Comments (0) | TrackBacks (0)

I'm going to make this quick because Terri needs a counter-weight in bed (we have a waterbed) and I've already wasted much time responding to Slithy on Brent's blog on the history of sexual promiscuity in western society.

I've started the module update and have gotten most of the replacement modules installed that can be installed. However, I've had to get a replacement for the taxonomy_assoc module (as I thought I probably would), since that module has been discontinuied in favor of the Category module.

The Category module is a drop-in replacement for Taxonomy that replaces vocabularies with "containers" and terms with "categories". The difference is that both of these are now nodes. Not only this, but any content type can be treated as a container or category, effectively giving you a node for every term. Unfortunately, it's not quite as flexible in some ways as it doesn't seem to have a "folksonomy". Though, I haven't yet looked at it far enough. If it does have tagging or it can be added, I will probably migrate this site to it as well.

This module also replaces the Book module, but I haven't really looked into that since we don't use the Book module for anything at New Hope yet, though I think we might after talking to Dan and Tony a couple weeks ago.

Other than that, I've also added, but haven't tested the eventrepeat module. I've updated the various other modules that are available that I mentioned previously. I also need to see if Tony wants me to do anything to add image galleries, forums, and some other pieces. Finally, I think things are now to the point that Eric can start working on the design whenever he feels like it.

Cheers.
