This module allows you to select related terms in taxonomy from another vocabulary. The default taxonomy module only allows you to select related terms from the same vocabulary.
NodeSymlinks allows you to display the same content to users at multiple locations in the Drupal menu system with unique URL path, unique navigation breadcrumb and without the SEO penalty that usually occurs with multiple copies of the same content.
This is useful when you want to have the same page reachable though multiple menu items, each with its own URL, menu trail and breadcrumb path.
This module is meant to work with FeedAPI, FeedAPI Node and Feed Element Mapper to give more control over what happens with incoming taxonomy terms.
Example Use.
Vocabulary of 'Categories' feeds the a piece of the primary links using taxonomy_menu. When a feed-item comes in the options->tags element is mapped to the 'Tags' vocabularies using Feed Element Mapper. If the term is found then I remove it from the association from the 'Tags' vocabulary and add the association to the 'Categories' vocabulary. Now the new items are automatically in the correct place for views.
The feed owner (or other person) would then come match the new tags to an existing category. If they wish to add a new category then they fill out a request form and the site administrator can create the term and move the nodes accordingly.
Suggested Workflow
1. Feed is refreshed
2. New node is created using the taxonomy setting from Feed Element Mapper. If using FeedAPI Node Inherit, this is applied here also.
3. All mapped and inherited terms are run through this module.
4. Matched terms are added to more defined categoreis.
5. Unmachted terms are placed in a general vocabulary where the feed administrator can add them to specifc categories later.
