The Taxonomy Module is a navigation building tool which uses nested sets to control hierarchy. The class used is straight from the CI community (MPTtree) and that does most of the heavy lifting.

Taxonomy can be tied directly to your content through the module interface, or right there from the publish page. Choose a parent, choose a template and you're away...

Taxonomy lets you build multiple navigation trees to unlimited depths which comprise of any of the following types of links:

  • Build links in your tree which use regular template_group/url_title or template_group/template/url_title paths
  • Build links in your tree from entries using page uris from the EE Pages Module
  • Or enter a url override to build nodes in your tree that link to anywhere you like

The module's primary purpose is not to give you an overview of your entire site. Instead, it is intended for building menus/breadcrumbs for 'page' sections of your site that need hierarchy beyond simple page lists.
