Hi everyone,

I think I can create an alias but I really want to link to one of the categories I have set up in the Taxonomy. Problem is, I can find nowhere on the site that will 'show this category' to get the url from?

I must be missing somthing, what is it? ;-)

Many thanks

Nick

The format is the following:
http://www.yourdrupalsite.com/?q=taxonomy/page/or/x
Where the x can be any taxonomy id number. I don't know of any good way to find the id for a specific taxonomy, but you can go to Administer->taxonomy and move your mouse over the (edit term) link of the category you want to link to. In your status bar you should see a link that looks something like this: http://www.yourdrupalsite.com/?q=admin/taxonomy/edit/term/x
where x is the id you're looking for.
This is all for drupal 4.3 btw...

Hope this helps.

Thanks very much :)

I seem to not be able to do it though? - I have a vocabluary called say 'articles' with 2 terms: 'tect' and 'stuff'. If I find the id for 'tech' and do as above, then alias the url like this:

Normal? /taxonomy/page/or/3

Alias: /articles/tech

I don't appear to get the desired results? - I'd like it to work like it does here: http://drupal.org/forum/2

Further thoughts?

Nick

Instead of:

Normal? /taxonomy/page/or/3
Alias: /articles/tech

try:

Normal? taxonomy/page/or/3
Alias: articles/tech
