Is it possible to add custom fields to a Drupal taxonomy term?

Question

I'd like to add a date field to a drupal taxonomy term, alongside the default "title" and "description"

Is there some technique/php/module that lets me do this? Is it possible to do with CCK??

I need to be able to display the new field in the same view presenting the content nodes referencing the term.

At the moment, I've added a date field to the content nodes with CCK, and it's displayed by the view. But that's not exactly what I'm going for, I just want to update one date per term.

Answer 1

Attaching fields to terms is added in Drupal 7, but that's still beta. I'd suggest replacing your taxonomy with a node reference field in Drupal 6.

Answer 2

As Scott said, Drupal 7 has this as part of core. There are some modules that attach nodes to taxonomy (e.g. Taxonomy Node) that might also be helpful to look at.

Answer 3

There's a module to do exactly this: http://drupal.org/project/term_fields
