Drupal 7 port of Taxonomy Menu

Yes, the maintainer (singular) or me, is going to start D7 as soon as I fix the last major update bug in D6. I had originally wanted to introduce a a V3 of D6 as a total rewrite with my totally lack of time has screwed up my plans.

This is a good place to discuss the best way to port to D7 with the current functionality.

I need to update myself with the new features (taxonomy fields). I wasn't sure if using fields was the best idea. I wan to get away from using variables for all of the settings. I'm open to new ideas.

HEAD has been updated to latest from D6 branch to start the D7 port.

The first version of a working D7 taxonomy menu. None of the options are implemented and there are a few bugs but it does create the menu.

Keep up the good work on the module. It's excellent. Hoping to integrate a Drupal 7 build of it into the course websites my department at my university will use once 7 launches.

Main issue for us:
Keeping the live changes to menu as terms are added, and the custom path for the main menu button (we usually use a view to list all the terms at that path, to keep things working well if someone doesn't have suckerfish going in their browser)

Just to give an update. The current D7 version kind of works, or least it used to "kind of" work when I first created it. Once the API become frozen on D7, I will get back to it.

Last week I managed to build a taxonomy menu using this module (D7 beta1 and beta2) but this week the module is flagged as 'unsupported' in admin/reports/updates :

Taxonomy Menu 7.x-1.x-dev (2010-Jul-11)
Project not supported: This project is no longer supported, and is no longer available for download. Disabling everything included by this project is strongly recommended!

Can anyone confirm the status of this project for Drupal 7?

Just want to know if I need to look for other solutions or simply bide my time. Thanks in advance! :)

Not supported is kind of scary sounding but #5 sums it up about right.

I've worked on making taxonomy_menu usable.

refactoring might be needed at some point, my goal was only to remove bugs and get the functionality working. This should work with Drupal 7 beta 2.

Updated patch to fix the batch update.

I was planning on spending some time with the D7 version very soon.

Why undo DBTNG?

#11 The problem with what you were doing, is that the taxonomy_term_node table doesn't exist anymore. So there isn't really a centralized place where Drupal stores info about taxonomy terms. They are now stored as fields, which not only could be on nodes, but could be on anything really. I'm new to the field API, so there might be a smarter way to do this, but at least this actually works.

But for D7 a lot of stuff might need to be rewritten, since taxonomy terms can be on anything entity now, not just nodes.

Yeah, I'm aware of this. Like I always say, patches are welcome.

Updated patch for the resent changes and added a small fix as well.

I can't believe 4 nested control statements is the best way to go about this. BUT it works on the other hand.

#16 I agree. I have rushed through taxonomy_menu to make it work, but nothing else. You could probably do the above someting like this. The problem is that we don't really know how taxonomy tids are stored anymore. On the other hand, when we do figure out how to do this more nicely, it should be able to work, with not only nodes, but any entity. The work on making taxonomy_menu work for entities rather than nodes is a whole other story though, and that's where most of the work needs to be put to make this module not only work in Drupal 7, but to be really useful for Drupal 7.

I'm considering committing #14 just so we can have it working. I'm feeling some pressure from the impending D7 release.

Commited #14. Thanks googletorp.

Yeah I guess. Woo!

But by no means is tax menu 7.x as feature complete as 6.x is.
