- Term Merge
- ------------------------

- Description
- -----------
- When using taxonomy for free tagging purposes, it's easy to end up with
- several terms having the same meaning. This may be due to spelling errors,
- or different users simply making up synonymous terms as they go.
- You, as an administrator, may then want to correct such errors or unify
- synonymous terms, thereby pruning the taxonomy to a more manageable set.
- This module allows you to merge multiple terms into one, while updating
- all fields referring to those terms to refer to the replacement term instead.
- Currently, the module only acts on:
- * fields of 'taxonomy term reference' type
- * Views Taxonomy Term filter handlers
- * Redirects
- It would be desirable to update other possible
- places where deleted terms are used.
- Integration
- -------------
- Currently module integrates with the following core and contributed modules:
- * Redirect module (http://drupal.org/project/redirect). During term merging
- you may set up SEO friendly redirects from the branch terms to point to the
- trunk term
- * Synonyms module (http://drupal.org/project/synonyms). During term merging
- you will be able to choose a trunk term's field into which all the branch terms
- will be added as synonyms (until cardinality limit for that field is reached).
- * Hierarchical Select (http://drupal.org/project/hierarchical_select). If
- Hierarchical Select module is configured to be used for working with Taxonomy,
- its widget will be shown on the form, where you choose what terms to merge into
- what term.
- * Views (http://drupal.org/project/views). If the branch terms are to be
- deleted after the merging process, you could end up having some Views filters
- to filter on no longer existing terms. Term Merge module, while merging terms,
- will update those filters to filter not on the branch term, but on the trunk
- term. This way you will not have senseless filters and will not have to update
- them manually.
- Requirements
- -------------
- The modules requires enabled the following modules:
- * Taxonomy module (ships with Drupal core)
- * Entity API (http://drupal.org/project/entity)
- Installation
- ------------
- * Copy the module's directory to your modules directory and activate the
- module.
