Website To-Do: Taxonomy

Critical:

Pending:

  1. (RH) List all docs housed under each curriculum so one can see the list w/o having to scroll thru all the texts. Admin: I'd like to figure this one out. However, it's a weird feature of the way the category system is set up. It can be overcome, I'm sure, but it'll take a bit more work than some of the other items. (Addendum 2/19/08: I think this can be accomplished by adding some code to the Sitemenu module [which creates that "Main Site Index" page. I need to build in the capacity for it to take a category name as a filter. Can't say for sure whether this will be quick work or slow, but I'm looking into it).
  2. Set up more custom views This is actually an issue of getting the taxonomy system to play nicely with the Views modules (which are responsible for generating anything you see in the form of a list, a table, etc.)
  3. How-to and user testing of new taxonomy system.

Complete:

  1. Revamp and rationalize content categories (required manually re-tagging all existing content with new, hierarchical category system) (2/5/08)
  2. Build categorical site menu (2/11/08)
  3. Add more help text to taxonomy box on new posts (2/12/08)
  4. Build categorical index page for workbook (2/15/08)
  5. Separate documents list by tag name (i.e., clickable list of tags, each of which takes you to the relevant list of documents) (2/15/08) -- addressed in other fixes (i.e., curricula menu item, site index, etc.)
  6. Build restricted free-tagging system (2/27/08)

  1. Noticed that "curricula" under "curricula" is redundant. i think we'll want to eliminate this heading and find appropriate tags for the materials housed there. Right now, this is showing up because people are free to choose the top level of the category hierarchy as their tag for a post, if they don't want to get any more descriptive. I agree that it might be a good idea to start finding categories for those postings, but now that this editorial capacity is open to everybody, I'd prefer to leave it in site users' hands.
