Taxonomy

In Orchard, taxonomy serves two purposes:

  1. as a replacement for a tree structure
  2. the ability to sort content items

It is a system that enables tagging of individual content items. Individual terms, as the taxonomy items are called, can be nested within each other. We use this principle primarily with the default "PuxCategory", which allows us to create a tree structure. This structure is used for generating URL addresses and also for creating breadcrumb navigation.

Localization is not possible within the CMS. It takes place on the frontend using resource strings.

PuxCategory​

PuxCategory is a special taxonomy used only for page structure. When a project is handed over it is always already created and only needs to be adjusted as needed.

The basic PuxCategory taxonomy setup can look like this:

Each term has an edit button. Inside the term, after creation, you must set the link to the page that the given term represents. For example, in the screenshot below, the term "Services" represents the category on the bakof website named "Services". We therefore select the link to this category. This allows us to generate localized addresses and breadcrumbs.
