Well, what can I say? I'm completely lost.
I *think* this taxonomy thing is one of the most powerful features of Drupal (hey, I'm a newbie), yet I don't get it all. Maybe it's very simple, but the more I read about it to try and understand, the more confused I get!
As I see it, it's a way to provide a hierarchical structure to your site, basically differnt categories, subcats, subsubcats etc, no? Yet, if so, I don't get the "TYpes" "Hierarchy" "tagging" "multiple select", "required" etc etc options, when creating a new "Vocabulary".
And when that's all done, what does it actually 'do'? Does it just organise your menu, so that guests can see one set of menus and users another?
I'm sorry this must sound all niave, but I have tried to understand it, but the more I read, the more terms are involved and it just looses me....
It honestly seems perfect for my needs, as I'm trying to develop a community site, where there are 3 main sections (nodes?):
Resources (general advice and informational resources, and a user-contributed book)
Community (where users can make their own websites (gallery/blogs and stuff) and forums)
Users (where users can go their blog/gallery/whatever and add content, and contribute to the "resources book") - hence Users is linked to resources (through the book) as well as commuity (as their content makes up the community content)
So I guess, these would be my 3 main "vocabulary" terms and branches underneith are simply defined?
