Adding Taxonomy Images to Taxonomies in Drupal

We looked at adding new fields to taxonomies here and now we need to add images.  Thank you Mike Wilson for contributing this step-by-step tutorial for doing just that.  Also thanks to NancyDru for the taxonomy image module

NB: This recipe is specifically built around copying and pasting from the existing images.   Obviously you would need to upload a new image if you are creating a new exhibit…

Linking Images to a Archival Taxonomy

•    Follow this path:  “Content Management”  -> “Taxonomy”
•    For the  [Name Type] “archival taxonomy” click on the [Operations]  “list terms” ;
•    Once on the “Terms in archival taxonomy, click on the “edit” link for the term, e.g. “antique” ;
•    On the “Edit term” page, click on down arrow for “Term Image” ;
•    Click into the “Use external image” box  ;
•    Open another tab/browser window and go to, for example the Historical Collections’ online exhibits page; right mouse click on the representative image to be associated with the taxonomic term and  “Copy image location” ;
•    Go back to the “Use external image” box and right-mouse to “paste” in the location.

If you have any questions please put them in the comments :)
