Display Taxonomy Term Description in Drupal 6

Unless one is versed coder, there's no easy way to display Taxonomy Term description in Drupal 6. all of the online posts would involve some sort of coding.

But then I found some clues, and finally solved the problem with TVI: Taxonomy View Integrator

It provides an easy way to have your taxonomy description appear on the Taxonomy's page.

Download and install (from the above link) as usual in /sites/all/modules.

Add the necessary permission in /admin/user/permissions

Nothing will appear in site configuration (/admin/settings).

Before you do anything, you have to decide whether you want all Taxonomy terms pages to have their description shown, or you want to do it per Term.

  • Per vocabulary:
    • Go to your list of vocabularies:  admin/content/taxonomy
    • Click edit vocabulary.
    • Scroll down till the View usage and click Display term description (When enabled, the term description is displayed before the rendered view on term page).
       
  • Per Term: same as above, but
    • instead edit vocabulary, go to list terms
    • edit the term you want the description enabled
    • Scroll down till the View usage and click Display term description

Start writing your desciptions. Basic HTML code may be used.
