Disable Term Node Listings doesn't work

Ah I did not mention that I am adding the term via a cck field, not the taxonomy module

That's probably the difference

For now we are using CSS to hide the content and display a View in a block with Context.

When we get to theming, we may be able to create a custom template; I briefly tried a taxonomy tpl.php in the Zen sub theme which didn't work, probably because of how we are adding the term.

I am changing this to Feature Request since the "typical" control through the taxonomy module works as designed.

I am using CSS to hide the teasers then display them in the embedded view:

.node-[node_type]-teaser {display:none}
.view .node-[node_type]-teaser {display:inline}

it gets a little trickier because one node type has teasers added via node reference fields, not views:

.node-type-[node_type] .node-teaser {
display: block !important;
}

also

We are using Taxonomy Menu to drive the menu system; that is how the term pages are triggered

akeemw,

I think you're correct, Drupal 7 requires a term field (which I loosely referred to as CCK because it is a custom field). I thought you could also add the content type to the vocab like D6, but apparently not (and that's a very good thing).

So regarding structure, we are driving the menu system with Taxonomy Menu and maybe that is the issue. We have a flat vocab for the Properties; on the node types we often have taxonomy term Hierarchical Select fields conditional on the Properties field - ie "Tucson" in Properties will reveal the "Tucson" vocabulary in a Hierarchical Select widget, which is a three-level vocab:

Properties (Vocabulary)
- Tucson
- etc

Tucson (Vocabulary)
- [2nd level term]
-- Massage & Body
-- Healthy Feet
- [2nd level term]
-- [3rd level term]
-- etc

I suppose any or all of Taxonomy Menu, Contextual Menu Block, Power Menu (used to "add" third level node items virtually to menus to make the Contextual Menu appear) or Hierarchical Select (2 levels) could be jamming your module.

I am not working on this project any longer, so I cannot test it further.
