Vocabulary "Mock Menu"

Summary

This module creates a "mock menu" from a vocabulary, with links to the terms at a given base-path.  This is very handy for providing a menu that links to a view with a Taxonomy:Term ID argument.

• The impetus was the need to gives users a simple way to select a category when browsing through recently updated pages for lasqueti's local artists and businesses. 
• The original idea comes from :  http://drupal.org/node/42605
• The module is used to create the "Category" menu in the left sidebar at: http://lasqueti.ca/marketplace/browse/listings

Overview

Requires:

• a vocabulary to create the menu items from;  I use the primary "Category" vocabulary here;
• a base-path for the menu links - the term ID will be added to this base-path; my base-path is "marketplace/browse/listings"

Options:

• most useful when combined with a View using a Taxonomy:Term ID argument;  I use the 'market_listing' view to generate this menu as a "summary view" in a block displayed at the base-path.
• The "depth" of traversal can be set to limit the menu depth;  I use a depth of 2 here.
