Django Taxonomy
Posted by hugues | Filed under Taxonomy
At it's core, the taxonomy application just provide a Term model which can be used in your own model via a foreign key or a many to many field.
But, there's more then that to it! django-taxonomy provides a lot of tool to help you render those relations in your site. Those tool try to be as configurable as possible so one can really control the display of taxonomy related information.
The django-taxonomy modules can also be used as a user configurable menu system for your sites. To that end, an object (the view bridge) was added to the application. When configured and assigned to a term of the taxonomy, the term will return the target view response instead of rendering itself when hit.
It is also possible to have a term render as if it was one of your model instance.
The url of each term is constructed by converting it's name to a slug and hierarchy is taken into acount when building an url. So if term a has a name of 'A Term' and term b, his parent, has a name of 'Parent Term', then the url of term a relative to the taxonomy root would be: parent-term/a-term
Finally, sitemap & rss feeds functionality are provided for integration with your sites rss feeds and sitemap.
