Hello,
I'm trying to find a better way to present my forum content by leveraging taxonomy vocabularies at most. So in order not to have to cope with the limitations of the default Forums vocabulary which is created when forum module is activated, I created a big bag-like forum (called "Open Space" in this vocabulary to serve as a container for all the forum topics. And then I added a few taxonomy vocabularies whose terms can be applied on forum topics, such that a unique topic can be tagged with several terms from different vocabularies.
And now I would like a create a forum view that reflects that organization, that is instead of having forum topics presented by container forum, I'd like to present one virtual super-forum for each vocabulary, and one virtual forum for each term in each vocabulary.
For example, if I have the following vocabularies:
- programming languages: Java, C#, PHP
- server technologies: .Net, J2EE
- architectural concepts: SOA, EAI, RIA
Instead of having a page presenting only the "Open Space" forum, I'd like it to present a forum-container-like table for programming languages, another one for server technologies, and so on. And for each vocabulary container, I'd like to see one forum for each vocabulary term, with the number of topics, the number of messages and a link to the last message. And of course, if a topic is tagged say with 'Java' in programming language and 'SOA' in architectural concepts, I'd like it to appear in both numbers of topics. That's what I mean by virtual: in other words, the sum of all the topics in various virtual forums is not equal to the number of topics in 'Open Space' real forum.
