Taxonomy, Vocabularies, and Terms

Group pieces of related content together for tagging, filtering, sorting and grouping with YMCA Website Services’s tagging system.

The Taxonomy feature in YMCA Website Services creates organized lists of categories, which allow you to group content, create folders for Images ( in YMCA Website Services 2.4 and later) and create standard options for dropdown fields in your content.

Each list is called a Vocabulary, while each item in your list is called a Term. Terms comprise a Term Name and any additional data/settings for that particular vocabulary (see below in Vocabularies in YMCA Website Services for details).

How to Edit Vocabulary Lists

Go to Structure > Taxonomy. When you find the Vocabulary you want to edit, click List Terms.

admin__admin-menu–taxonomy|196x500, 100%

admin__taxonomy–vocabulary-options|450x240, 50%

You can rearrange your terms by hovering your mouse over the cross icon and dragging them. This will determine the order in which they appear. By default these are alphabetical.

admin__taxonomy–rearrange|662x204, 75%

Moving a term to the right will “nest” it underneath another term, making it a “child” to that term.

Adding/Editing Terms

Click on Edit to make changes to an existing item or Add Term to add a new one.

On the next page, you can add a Name for your vocabulary and an optional Description.

Below those two fields, you can add the additional information unique to your vocabulary.

admin__taxonomy–color-vocabulary–grey-edit|358x500, 75% admin__taxonomy–color-vocabulary–grey-edit-1|690x365, 75%

Vocabularies in YMCA Website Services

Because Vocabularies are lists of categories, how they will show up depends on which Vocabulary you use.

Color

As mentioned above, Color is a list of colors you can use across your site, primarily in your page headers, small banners, galleries and banners.

Blog/News Category
