Here is my situation. I have a classified ads website with one content type AD and a master taxonomy list that looks like this:
Classifieds
==Jobs
====Accountant
====Engineer
==Cars
====Trucks
====Boats
My list has 144 taxonomy terms. When someone clicks to post an ad, they have to wade through all of them.
What I would like to do is shorten the list. I want to extract the categories that are only relevant to the area the person wants to post in.
Perhaps do this with a GET variable in the query? For example have a link structure like this:
www.gastonia.com/node/add?type=job
www.gastonia.com/node/add?type=cars
So, when a person clicks on the custom link, it pulls up the NODE / ADD form and based on the GET variable it only shows the children of taxonomy terms whose parent matches that term.
Anyone have any idea how I can achieve this? I don't want to write a module if the solution is more simple than that.
