The Category module is an alternative to, and a combination of, the Taxonomy and Book modules in Drupal core. The key feature of this module is that vocabularies and terms are nodes. In Drupal core, you use taxonomy terms (and vocabularies) to classify your content categorically, and you use book nodes to structure your content hierarchically. In the Category module, you do both of these things using category (and container) nodes. In this module, a container is the node-ified version of a vocabulary, and a category is the node-ified version of a term. A container also acts as a top-level book page, and a category acts as a child book page. You can apply category or container behavior to any node type on your site.
#D7CX pledge upheld: Taxonews received a full Drupal 7 release on the day that Drupal 7 was released.
A module to generate blocks containing titles of node matching terms in a taxonomy vocabulary, as links to the nodes themselves, with optional automatic content expiration based on publishing date.
Features
Module has settings for:
Node lifetime; it defines as many blocks as there are terms in the vocabularies updated within that lifetime.
The vocabularies used for automatic block creation.
Inclusion of the module name in the block list, in order to group block names (True by default)
Inclusion of blocks matching no content from the block list (True by default)
The blocks are themeable, so the list of titles can be replaced by other display choices on a per-block basis, like Drupal teasers instead of just titles, by overriding the taxonews-block-view template (function in old versions) in a theme.
