creating 200 tags/groups/terms for use with (D6 & CCRM 3.3.3)
February 06, 2011, 03:18:51 am
using Drupal 6x with civicrm 3.3.3

I plan to use Civicrm for a Business directory

I would like to classify the businesses by type of business (auto parts, barber, health food......)

In Drupal I would just add a vocab called "Business type" and fill it with these 200 terms - using Tax mgr module

I would like to use Views to generate a visitor directory (by type grouping)

I would like to use Civicrm to do my emailing and manage them by these terms (groups)

-----

? can civicrm use drupal vocabs and terms

? what is the best way to add this info to a profile so I can use it from both Drupal and Civicrm

Hi - no integration with Taxonomies that I am aware of - or seen discussed. WHy do the classification on the Drupal side, rather than on the CiviCRM side? Views can pull the Tags or Custom Data through from CiviCRM.
I suspect that some integration between CiviCRM Tags and Drupal Terms could be v useful if you have some resources to put in to that.

I'd use a bit of custom code that loops through your tags and use the api to civicrm_tag_create them in civi
