Create vocabulary and taxonomy terms in an installation profileCreate vocabulary and taxonomy terms in an installation profile
Submitted by Benjamin Melançon on September 6, 2011 - 4:22pm
The first part is provided by the default installation profile:
<?php
// Create a default vocabulary named "Tags".
$description = st('Use tags to group articles on similar topics into categories.');
$help = st('Enter a comma-separated list of words to describe your content.');
$vocabulary = (object) array(
'name' => st('Tags'),
'description' => $description,
'machine_name' => 'tags',
'help' => $help,
);
taxonomy_vocabulary_save($vocabulary);
?>The second part is simply repeated application of taxonomy_term_save().
Putting it all together, below, with a foreach loop to save typing for repeated terms.
This code can be put in or this function can be called from your installation profile or from an update hook (hook_update_N).
<?php
/**
* Create and populate the Project's image types.
*/
function feature_media_image_categories() {
// We know the install profile has created an Administrator at uid 3.
$uid = variable_get('sdl_admin_uid', 3);
// Create a default vocabulary named "Image type".
$description = st('The type of image, such as Drawing, Rendering, or Photograph.');
$help = st('Select the type of image.');
$vocabulary = (object) array(
'name' => st('Image type'),
'description' => $description,
'machine_name' => 'image_types',
'help' => $help,
);
taxonomy_vocabulary_save($vocabulary);
$names = array(
'Photograph',
'Rendering',
'Drawing',
);
$weight = -15;
foreach($names as $name) {
$term = (object) array(
'name' => $name,
'vid' => $vocabulary->vid,
'weight' => $weight,
);
taxonomy_term_save($term);
$weight += 5;
$terms[$name] = $term->tid;
}
}

Here's the same thing, making use of fieldhelp module
(Check out fieldhelp.)
<?php/**
* Implements hook_install(). Add orders to book content type.
*/
function libcat_order_install() {
$vocabulary = libcat_order_create_vocabulary_status();
libcat_order_populate_vocabulary_status($vocabulary);
libcat_order_attach_field_status($vocabulary);
} /**
* Create book status (Ordered, Present, Not sourcable, etc) vocabulary.
*/
function libcat_order_create_vocabulary_status() {
$vocabulary = (object) array(
'name' => st('Book status'),
'description' => st('Status of a book or potential book in a collection.'),
'machine_name' => 'libcat_status',
'help' => st('Select your location'),
);
taxonomy_vocabulary_save($vocabulary);
return $vocabulary;
} /**
* Populate the book order status vocabulary with its terms.
*/
function libcat_order_populate_vocabulary_status($vocabulary) {
$t = get_t();
$names = array(
$t('Requested'),
$t('Ordered'),
$t('Not sourceable'),
$t('Present'),
);
$weight = -50;foreach($names as $name) {
$term = (object) array(
'name' => $name,
'vid' => $vocabulary->vid,
'weight' => $weight,
);
taxonomy_term_save($term);
$weight += 10;
}
} /**
* Add book order status field to book node type.
*/
function libcat_order_attach_field_status($vocabulary) {
drupal_load('module', 'fieldhelp');
fieldhelp_taxonomy_single_select_add('node', LIBCAT_BOOK_NODE_TYPE, $vocabulary);
}
?>
