Attaching Metadata to a Taxonomy Item

by

I have a taxonomy of menus i.e. Coffee, Tea, Sandwiches, Cakes etc. I want to add more information ‘about’ the taxonomy such as an image that represents it alongside the other pieces of taxonomy information (slug,name,description).

Is this possible, how would you go about it?

Thanks, Stewart

As Mamaduka said there is currently no (native) way of storing meta-data for taxonmies. There is talk of it. But it has stalled since its proving difficult to agree on how best to implement it.

For large amounts of data you might not want to use the options table. Alternatively you can create your own taxonomy meta table. There are a couple plug-ins that currently do this:

  1. http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/taxonomy-metadata/

  2. http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/meta-for-taxonomies/
