Taxonews provides one block per taxonomy term from ONE single vocabulary used to classify news.

A static content can be supplied as a default for each block independently when there is no node matching both tid and freshness requirements. This is defined on the block configuration page.

Taxonews defines one themeable function

theme_taxonews_block_view($delta, $items = null, $tid)

Using the value of $delta, it is possible to theme each block differently in a site-specific theme. The title of each block is defined as a configuration option for the block

The default theme displays:

• the titles and links to a number of nodes matching the chosen term, themed using using theme_item_list. The maximum number of nodes displayed is determined by the smallest of
  • the number of nodes younger than variable_get('taxonews_lifetime', TAXONEWS_LIFETIME)
  • 5
• an “Archive” link to the list of all nodes matching the chosen term with taxonomy depth unspecified
• an optional RSS feed icon, displayed if variable_get(TAXONEWS_VAR_FEED, true) with taxonomy depth 0
