How to create a tree with filtered nodes from drupal taxonomy.

Question

I'm trying to create a menu tree in drupal like this:

- term 1
    node 1
    node 2
  - sub-term 1
        node 3
        node 4
  + sub-term 2
  - sub-term 3
        node 5
      - sub-sub-term 1
             node 6
+ term 2
etc.

(Sub-term 2 and term 2 are toggled closed.)

Some requirements:

• Output this using something like JQuery Menu to get an interactive tree
• Filter the nodes by cck type
• Filter the nodes by cck field
• Only have terms with nodes or other active terms in them show up
• Mark the current node as such, and automatically open the tree to that point

Do I have to write this myself, or are there a combination of modules that can do it? I've got Advanced Taxonomy Blocks, which is pretty close, but it doesn't list the nodes.

Answer 1

Just make your own custom menu and use the DHTML Menu module to make it expand/contract on click.

Answer 2

Sounds like http://drupal.org/project/taxonomy_menu and the DHTML Menu module linked above would get you pretty close. You'll need a view for your content to do the filtering.

Answer 3

sprugman, did you get this working? If so, do you have a demo? I'm looking to do the same thing.
