One way to find content on a site is by using a search function, but this can be considered as a hit-or-miss approach. Searching for an article on ‘canines’ won’t return an article about dogs, unless it contains the word ‘canines’.
Certainly, navigation provides a way to navigate the site, but unless your site has only a small amount of content, the navigation can only be general in nature. Too much navigation is annoying. There are far too many sites with two or three sets of top navigation, plus left and bottom navigation. It’s just too much to take in and still feel relaxed.
Site maps offer additional navigation assistance, but they’re usually not fun to read, and are more like a Table of Contents, where you have to know what you’re looking for.
So, what’s the answer?—Tags!
A Tag is simply a word or a phrase that is used as a descriptive link to content. In Drupal, a collective set of terms, from which terms or tags are associated with content, is called a Vocabulary. One or more Vocabularies comprise a Taxonomy. This a good place to begin, so let’s create a Vocabulary.
In this activity, we will be adding two terms to our Vocabulary. We shall also learn how to assign a Taxonomy to Node Content that has been created.
Taxonomy isn’t listed in my admin menu
The Taxonomy module is not enabled by default. Check on the Modules page (Admin | Site building | Modules) and make sure that the module is enabled. For the most part, modules can be thought of as options that can be added to your Drupal site, although some of them are considered essential. Some modules come pre-installed with Drupal. Among them, some are automatically activated, and some need to be activated manually. There are many modules that are not included with Drupal, but are available freely from the Drupal web site.
If a new Node Content type is created that will use tags, then edit the vocabulary and select the checkbox.
AJAX (Asynchronous JavaScript + XML) is a method of using existing technologies to retrieve data in the background. What it means to a web site visitor is that data can be retrieved and presented on the page being viewed, without having to reload the page.
